RoME, Ga, Dec. 20, lS76,-You mus
excuse me, but it is impossible to sup
press myself altogether at this time,
feel like little CROWN will open the
pores and help digestion, and do me
good generally. And didn't we lick 'em
and did you say his name was Hayes
and is he the man who said he didn't
mind it himself, but his heart bled foI
the poor niger? Priests and levites oI

OF. Why, bless your soul, the niger is
free. He can go to Ohio ifhe wants to
We haven't got 'em penned up. IfHayes
or whatever his name is, will call 'em
they'll come. Amt it curious these
darkies don't go to their friendsP Amt
it Curious their friends don't come down
to see them if they are 80 everlastin'
sorry2 Maybe they are intimidated'
The truth is, Mr., Watterson, them Radi-
Gals give the niger suffrage to humble
us and outvote us, but they never count
ed on it givin' us 80 more votes in maxim
a president. The niger voted for Hayes,
ifthat's his name, and elected Mr.. Tilden.
Hurray for the niger. Next thing you
hear of these Radicals will be tryin' to
take away his vote, or colonize him in
BONE furrin' land.
But it's too late-the dog is dead. They
may talk about intimidation and countln'
out and holdin' on, but it can't be did.
Knayes don't take kings i'll this game.
They stocked the cards and had the shut
fe and deal, and We won it, and the
stakes we are bound to have. Well
FIGHT on it, sur. Yes, sur; if the worst
comes TO the worst we'll " hip IN again.
Two hundred and fifty thousand majorl,
ty has settled this question. AS General
Gordon said: Stand up, my countrymen,
stand up; don't wilt nor wither; we have
met the enemy and they are ours-that
is five can keep 'em. know they are
as slickery as eels, but we must hold EN-
The life of the nation depends on It,
Liberty and free speech and habeGS corpus
are all in peril. -Four more years OF RAJ
dical rule and this country will be as life
less as an Egyptian mummy. They must
MT be allowed to steer the old ship any
longer. Its again natur. Its again the
law of Moses, and Revelation, and the
Shorter Catechism, and the long meter
doxology.' My wife says it the fight
must come, the women ought to take
hand this time, and she is ready to tare
hair with old Mother Hayes, ifthats her
name, or any other woman who is mour-
min for the niger.
Mr.. Watterson, sur, we have patiently
bided our time. We saw this galorlous
event comm. lift wasn't star in the
East, it was roarin' borealis in the
North. We knowed there was justice
and generosity in the bosoms OF North
ern Democrats Fora long ime we've
been listen to the rumblin' thunder OF
their indignation. Ever and anon 1t has
yibrated upon the. air like the shake OF
Young earthquake, and we've lived in
hone and detied despair until at last the
pent ND storm came down upon 'em like
an Alpine avalanche, or simeon In the
desert, or a typhOon Of the tropics, or
cyclone of the raging seas. Oh 1t was
terrible, terrible Excuse me for grown
eloquent, ifyou please, for 1t seems to me
ttiII hear the mighty voices OF three
millions of honest Democrats eXclalmln'
with trumpet tongues, Get out of these
Augean stables and let usturn the Poto-
mac in. The stencil of your corruption
has oyerspreed the land. Ye have made
the rich richer and the poor poorer Ie
have smothered honesty, garoted indus
try and son disCord among kindred. Ie
have put your Southern brethren ina pit
and died their shirts in pokeberry juice,
and called it blood to deceive the people,
but like Joseph of old, they will yet be
put in mower and save the land from ruin
and destruction. Joseph's brethren re-
pented in tears and sorrow, but ye will
not repent. They did not steal his sill
yer cup, but ye will steal and carry away
in your carpet.bags not only the cups,
buf the sauCers and the spoons"
Whv. sur, the first official advertise
ment Mr. Tilden will put nsthe Wash.
ington papers will be fxin' day of
tbanksgivin, and calm for sealed pro-
nosals for penitentiary big enough to
accommodate 10000 Radical thieves who
have stolen thousand million dollars
from the national treasury. e.
Mr.. Watterson, sur, Uncle Sammy Til
den is aeoin' to take his seat in that
cheer-if he lives, There's doubt about
a heap of things in this subloonary world
hut there amt no doubt about that. Let
'em rjp and roar and snort and Gavor,G
like dyin' alligator ifthey want to, but
nv private opinion is d heap of 'em, Aad
better be marshain' their assets for trans-
Dortation to some furrin and unknown
cline. Intimidationl Oh my country !!
Amazin' impudence2 Who has been
intimidated for the last ten years. Have
MT they kept us under bayonets all the
time. Haven't they divided the army
about half and half between. us and the
IniunsY Let 'en hunt for intimidation
nearer home. Why, sur. there were
thousands of humble Democrats in Ohio
and Pennsylvania who wanted to vote for
Tilden. but their bread and meat depend
on not doing it. How about all of the
workmen in the shops, mills and facto-
rit that belonged to the Radicals who

late WARP There was no intimidation;
of course but The boss calls them up and
says: you can vote as you please, but
if you don't vote for Hayes didn't you
say that was his name2) you can come to
the captains Office and settle, and get
your walkin' papers"
The truth is, Mr.. Watterson, those Ra.
dical towards have been afraidso US 80
long that they have got intimidation on
the brain. Ben. Butler was invited to go
TO New Orleans to help count, but he
didn't go. He replied by telegraph
"Great spoons l can not go. / feel in
timila:ed." Now. the worst case have
heard of is Jack Alan's' He had three
hundred niggers on his sugar plantation,
and bein' pressed for labor be offered
every iarkey who would stay at home an
extra dollar in silver, and they stayed.
The shine of the coin intimidated 'em,
and no Louisiana is to be set down for
