Disappointment to the Corners He duzn't
give me half chance, and seems to take
a delite in disappintin my expectashens.
When he removed the 900 sojers from
the South, and thus emancipated from
the grindin effcx Nv military despotism
3,0OO,OOO NV people, it seemed to be so
dreckly aimed at my interests that
took it as persnel matter Them So
jers he'd bin board and lodgin to me for
a great menny years. Whenever we, NV
the Corners wuz reproached for not do
in nothin, | could alluz infame the peo-
pie in Bascom $, and wither the re-
preacher by askin what Good be expected
when the Corners wus groanin under
military rool? Does Poland 90 forrerd

me in history to any subjoogatid nashen
that ever did anything when the iron
hans NV military power wars onto their
thrOats. Even the Jew when in captivi-
ty hung their harps onto the willers and
refoosed to sing in strange lands. Give
us our freedom agin, and we may onst
more hist cheerful stave, and warble
gaily. But exit is-Bascom jist one
more eff there room on the slate
But now that the 900 sojers is remov-
ed, and cz we hain't got no excuse for
not quitten Bascom's and goin out and
dom suthin, Pollock and Biglcr jeer at
| us.
The meetin NV Congris. which wuz to
hev taken place in Joon, wood hev given
us suthin to 90 on. | he'd speeches keer-
fully prepared to shoot off at the Ad-
ministratiOn, which | wuz to hev furn-
ished our member NV Congris, which wuz
ez thes wood hev come in afore the froots
NV the yooserpers polisy he'd showd it
self, and cz we Good predict all sorts NV
trubble, it wood hev KEEP alive the wanin
hopes Nv men like me- But now he hcz
gone asd postponed the meetin till De-
/ tober. by wich time them recreant Suth-
erners ez wants everything ez quiet ez a
mill pond will hev got things their own
way, and we be left helplis. It's too
provokin.
But eff he thinks we are a goin to be
satisfied with the concessions he hez
made he is mistaken. The Southern
heart wunst fired keeps smolderin a long
time, and ain't so easily squenched. The
| Corners hez demands to make, and the
Corners hez got to hev wat it wants be
fore it will be satisfied, or consider the
work of reconstruct kshun properly done
The Corners wants prosperity, and the
| Corners demands that the Government
make the Corners prosperous. We hevn
got the money to do it, but we want it.
and ct the Government wants that ac-
quiescence that it seems to consider de-
sirable, the Government will see that it
is done

less the Government furnishes the
