The perverseness of some men is be- |
yond all human kalkalashun, and the /
Nv the DimOcraey is suthin |
wlch nothin short Nv infinity kin kaIke- |
late upon. Their amt no disiplin in the |
party, but it seems on the contrary eZ |
tho every man NV EN-, from the highest |
ofncef down to the lowest privit in the |
ranks, was 1itin on his own hook.
Their WIZ a bill interdoost into Con-
girls reTnooneratin a Kentuckian named
Mitchell for cotton seezed by Linkin's
hirelins. and the proceeds uY -Wieh went
into the Fedrel Tresury and wuz yoosed
to crush the South Ia its holy struggle for
its rites.
II wuz very simple case. Mitchell
went South at the begfnnin nv the un-
holy croosade. He he'd a pass or suthin
from a FedraI general to go South, but
when he got there he preferred TO stay,
and he did stay for three years.
BelFFsa troO Kentuckian Mitchell went
into tie CenfeJrid servis, ez a commits
sary or suthin NV the sort. That he wuz
a troo friend NV the South is evidenced by
the fact that he cum back alive, and Yuz-
emit hung to the neerest tree.
Doorin his absence his cotton Wuz re-
morselessly seized by Linkin's feends,
and contiskatid.
After the South wuz crushed, Mr..
Mitchell's wealth beiH mostly in Confed-
rit money, he bethought himself Nv the
cotton. | don't know how much cotton
wuz taken nor is it nessary thet L shood
know. [ only know that he put in Il
claim for $l2S,000, enuff 20 enable him to
/ live in constable comfort and.smooth his
pathway to the silent toom. That wuz
all ther wuz about it. Itwuz case wich
=
to hev gone thrO the House with awhoop,
ez the beginnin nv cOnsiliashen.
But before it cum to a vote, a Dimekrat
| named Bragg, NV Wisconsin, made in
cendiary speech agin it, and to add insult
to injOOry he gave the sufrin South motifs
| that sich clames wood be resisted by the
lDimocrisy NV the North, and that theF
wood be no earthly yO0se in interdoosin
sich bills.
Let me ask Mr.. Bragg wat he means {?
/ Is he a Dimekrat, and dose he compre-
hend the hull duty NV a Dimekrat? Wat
wuz he electid fur? Wat rite hez he to
| hold a sect in COngris, eZ Dimekrat and
cast his vote agin Dimekratic measures
| He is insubOrdinit. He heZn't the reno
list idee uY wat his dooty really is. Wat
did the South cum back into the Yoon-
yum fur?
/ He-sez it will be the entrin wedge for
sich appropriateness, till the Tresury is

Bragg understand that the South is bank
rupt? Doesn't Mr.. Bragg understand
that rite here in the Corners we heV
clames agin the gineral Government fol
more than twice the amount NV Mitehell'S
beggarly demand? Why Deekin Pogram
LOST twelve mules and all his fences, and
Capt. McPelter his distillery with its
preshus contence. Isaker Pogram sez hG
lost suthin, and ther amt a citizen nv tht
Corners but wich diskivered he he'd biz
Impoverished by the bloo-kotid hirelins,
the very mint it Wuz diskive red that thel

The effeck on the Corners NV this pros

strikin. Their revived in our breasts
feelin Nv devoshun to the old flag Wicl
J we hedn't felt for yeers. Their wuz al
immejit longin to see its fold doatin eV
erywhere, and expreshuns begun to b.
heerd that perhaps the South he'd made
mistake, and that the old flag wuz gooC
enuH for US. And wat Wuz better, jis
