Mr.. Nasty Becomes Indignant over the
Course OF Mr.. Bragg, orwiseonsin.

/
January q, 1870.
The reryerseness OF some men Is b,
yond all human calkalashun, and the mi
torchoons Nv the Dimocrisy is suthin vic
nothin short NV infnity kin calkelate VI
on. Their aint no disiplin in the part!
but 1t seems on the contrary ez tho ever
man Nv EN-, from the highest officer dow
to the lowest privit in the ranks, was
tltin on his own hook.
Their wuz a bill interdoost into Congrl
remooneratin a Kuntckian named Mitch
ell iorcotton seezed by Linkin's hirelinl
and the proceeds Nv witch went into III
Fedrel Trcsury and wuz yoosed to crusl
the South in its holy struggle for It's rites
1twuz very simple case. Mitchell
went South ut the beginnin NV the unhol
cIoosade. lie he'd la pass or suthin iron
a Fedral general to go South, but when h
got there he preferred to stay, and he dix
stay for three years.
Bein a troo Ketuckian Mitchell wen
into the Confedrit servis, ez commissar,
or suthin NV the sort. That he was q trot
freud Nv the South Is evidenced by thu
fact that he come back alive, and wuzn'
hung TO the neerest tree.
Doorin his absence his cotton wuz re
morselessly seized by Linkin's feends, anC
eonfskatid.
After the South wuz crushed, Mr.. Mitch
ellis wealth bein mostly in Confedril
money, he bethought himself NV the cot
ton. don't know how much cotton wuz
taken, nor is it necessary tibet | sllood
know. l only know that lie put in &
claim for Sl2S,000, enuif to enable him &c
live in considerable comfort and smooth
his pathway to the silent toom. That
wuz all Their wuz about 1t. 1t wuz q case
witch appealed to every Dimocrat, and, il
ought to hev gone thro the House with q
whoop, ez the beginnin NV consiliashen
But before it cum 10 vote, Dimckral
named Bragg, OF Wisconsin, made in.
cendiary speech agin II, and to add insult
to inioory he gave the sufrin South motifs
that SIGH claims wood be resisted by The
Dimocrisy Nv the North, and that ther
wood be no earthly yoose in interdoosin
SIGH bills.
Let me ask Nr. Bragg wat he means?
Is he Dimekrat and docs he comprehend
the hull duty NV q Dimekrat? Wat wuz
he eleCtid fur? Wat rite hez he to hold a
seat in Congris, ez Dimekrat, and cast
his vote again Dimekratic measures? He
is insubordinit. He hezn't the rcmotist
idee us wat his dooty really is. Wat did
the South cum back into the Yoonyun
fur?
He SEE It will he the cntrin wedge for
SIGH appropriations, till the Treasury is
bankrupt. Sposn it is? Doesn't Mr.. Bragg
understandable the South is BANKRUPTCY
Doesn't HIr. Bragg understand that rite
here in the Corners we hev clames agin
the gineral Government for more than
twice the amount uv NIitchel's beggatly
demand? Why Deekin Pogram lost u
mules and all his fences, and Capt. NJ polt.
er his distillery with its preShus contenre.
Isaker Pogram seq he lost suthin, and ther
amt citizen NV the Corners but wich
diskivered he he'd bin impoverished by
the bloo-kotid hirelins, the very mint It
wuz diskivered that there wuz a prospeck
NV u Dimekratic House and SENT; and
consekent paymentuv these claims.
The effect on the Corners Nv this pros.
peck NV payment wuz instantaneous and
strikin. Their revived In our breasts a
ieelin NV devoshun to the old flag wiuh VIC
hedn't felt for years. Their wuz an imme.
tit longin to see its folds floatin every.
where, and cxpreshuns begun to DO hcerd
that the South had made mistake, and
that the old fag wuz good enutf for us.
And vat wuz better, jist the second that
the payment Nv these claims wuz consid,
cred shoor thing Bascom re.eStablished
the credit system, and in the most generus
manner put down on his slate list cx many
drinks ez we ordered. When citizen
sed "Put it down, Bascom," his inquiry
wuz: "Hev 700 elaine aein the Guvcrn,
ment?" and ez tho anser alluz wuz: Ger.
tainly-mules," he put 1t down cheerful
and smilin.
Doc 700 know, Mr.. Bragg, wat yoor in
senjary speech hcz dun? II hez crushed
out yoonyunism here, entirely. It hez re
vivcd the old ieelin NV luminosity to thu
Fedrel Government, and revived the
smolderin discomfort that was well-nigE
extinguished. The citizens murmur
'Then the Government amt gOin to pay
me fur my mules? Oh the Gov
eminent"
Isaker Gavitt sez that ef Bragg, NV Wis
consin, succeeds in blockin the payment
to him fur the mules tibet John Morgan
took, the hopes NV the South for FREE
government are forever dashed, and tina
freedom may as well commence he
shreek.
The reedin NV Mr.. Bragg's speech he
plunged the Corners into gloom from
which it will take monthst 10 arouseit. Biz
mis- is deprest, and there is genrll stagna
shen. Bascom reioosed credit ut his bar
to.wnnst, anl-we hey to depend on chanc
commersheI travellers from Louisville, 70
wat refrcshers we git. We sit and sit afor
his fire, and wonder ef the time will eve
come when supplies will be rcgler, and tn
worm that dieth not In our stumlCks vii
ever he sufficiently satlatcd. All this Vi
owe to Bragg Nv Wisconsin.
Ineyer want to see q DimGkrat cleclil
from q State like Wisconsin. They ain
half baked. Wat Bragg shood hev don
wuz to vote for that elaine, and take de
feet, when no came up for re'eleckshun
