For the first time in twelve years
Kershaw sends her white people to rep
resent her in the Legislature.
Because the Radicals could not con-
troll the polls in Camden like they used
to do, many of them refused to vote at
all.
IL couldn't vote dis mornin when l
wanted to, and I don't want to now"
So spoke Frank Chesnut, a hurley,
sullen, insolent black Radical, who wore
a beaver hat OF the Market, when told
BY Democrat at nine o'clock that all
of the colored people could vote without
being "nashed d"--the officers having
cleared the way.
