hands with it, with one flag flyin owe
: EN-, till the Corners shell zee itse]
numbered among the pints wich ar
to hev appropriashens for improve
ments.
4 Resolred, That the Corners is n
the opinyun that to restore that feeliI
w absloot yoonanimity wich is 9
J desirable, and to bring the Corner
into perfect akkord with their breth
rem Nv the North, the follerin appro
priashens by the general Government
is necessary:
| $4,000 to lay a plank road in tn
bed NV Perkins erik TO where it cross
es the Secessionville road, to lesse,
the freight on likker. When tn
erik is up so ez to be navigable TO
hatboats, the plank kin be floated on
to the bank, givin us the choice u,
water and land carriage.
100000 to lay iron on the Secession
VILE road to the corn country back
to lessen the freight on corn to tn,
distillery.
$4,000 to macadamize the roat
across the hills TO Davisvil!e, to ena
BILE it's citizens to git to Bascom's y,
all seasons NV the yeer, that they ma,
avoid tho necessity NV layin in theil
supplies by the barl.
$4,000 to bore artesian wells tc
furnish the water, and the same
amount for steam engines and sich tc
pump the water out NV EN-, to make
Goose erik navigable at oil seasons
Nv the yeer.
$4,000 to be expended in borin ex.
Perimentle wells for oil, back Nv the
Corners, the money to be expended
by . committy NV wich shell be the
Chaisman. This to develop the re.
sources Nv the Corners and add ia
nashnel wealth and grandjer.
100000 for Custom House at the
Corners, in antissipashen NV the pub
lie biznis witch will hev to be done
here when the other expenditoors
hev bin made.
Resolced, That these appropria-
shens, ef made at sill, shood be made
without delay, afore the cold wealth
or comes, when the Corners will hev
to lay in pervishuns and boots for
the Winter.
Resolred, That eff the general Gov.
eminent, actooated by a sense NV JUS
tbs, mades these appropriateness, the
Corners will consider itself soothed, !,
and the gore now seriously impendin
will be averted.
ResolUed, That so long ez the Fed
rel Government is willin to support
us. we shel be willin to stay in peece.
There is other appropriateness wich
don't okkur to me now, but they will
ez time rolls on. The Deekin wants
more appropriateness now, but I
think this is enuff to begin with, and
that the Corners ought to be tollably
consolidated with these. 1t wood be
the beginnin NV bond NV Yoonyun,
wich eff cementid by givin ali the
Fedrel otfises to disabled men wich
Good show they he'd served in the
Confedrit armies, wood increese in
strength every yeer and remain ontil
we git Dimekratic President and
Senit, when NV course we wood not
hev to be consolidated at all, hevin
full contro!e Nv the witch
wood be jist ez well ez tho we he'd
succeeded the in struggle for our
rites in 1864.
Let Congris heed this call and
soothe us to-wunst. The wants NV
our trade demand it, and our citizens
demand it likewise. We ask for it
not only in the interest NV consilia-
shen but to revive our shattered com.
merce.

Implacable, but willing to be soothed.
P. S.-Ef Congris don't do this /
shel immejitly make a confeshn NV
frods in 1876, and go and sell EN- to
Tilden My word is ez good ez Nc
Lin's any day, and the old man hez
got to hev another to foller that one,
