Mr. Nasby Deplores the Conflict Of
Nature and the Democracy.
coxrrpsrr X RoAps (which Is in the
State NV kentucky. July 27.-I am dis
hartsued. Everything under heaven
seems to work aein the Democracy. aud
mako q continyood success impossible.
We succeeded in electin Democratic
Congris. the people hevin tired nv Re
publikin rool. and il did seem to me that
there wuz nuthin in the way nv con-
tinyooance thereof for an indefinit Pc
Rod. looked confidently forerd to the
Post Office at the Corners, and RELY eI-
pected that I should end my days holdin
that commishn and spendin the salary
pleasantly and cheerfully at Bsscom's.
In the fust place we wuz shoor that
Sherman's resumpshen wood cause wide
spread disaster, which the people wood
charge to the account Of the Republican
party, and wood bring the Nasnnels over
10 us, yoonitin both parties agin the
common foe, and that after that every
thing would bs plain sailin. We could
sweep the ksntry like a tornado. lsavin
nary greess spot nv the Radiksls be-
hind Us.
But somehow 1t didn't work. Sher-
man resoomrd the first nv Janooary
without the slightest trubil. apd the ken
try, insted nv Roin 10 everlastin rooin,
went on prosperin at faster rate than
ever. To our horror failyurs begun to
grow lesser and lesser. aud when went
20 Louisville and interviewed the mer-
chants and manufacturers, and they all
tols me that bizness wuz better than 1t
he'd bin fur ysers, and that il wuz con.
stantly increasin. and increasin. too. in
O healthy way. and that they wuz payin
their hands promptly. and the hands
wuz O gettin on fust rate. and wuz COM
Portable, then my heart sunk within my
buzzum, and ! went home dishsartened
and discouraged.
Bascom is moro OF Roman than /
am. This wuz early in the season. and
when wuz weepin' over the prosperity
OF the country. he remarkt :" Brace up.
Parson; there is yit hope for the Dim-
ocrisy. The crops may yit fail. and
room may yit snsoo T.
Them words give me hope. and l
watched the crop reports with intense
anxiety, aud daily sighed, like Jers-
miah, the great lamenter
Oh that the frost would strike the
corn in the blade. and the cowcumbers
on the vine
oh T! that the fruit would perish In
the bud, and the scab wood git among
the sheep =.
oh that the murrain and the hornail
wood rage among the kline
oh I that the glanders wood spred
among the hosses, and cut them down
by the thousand. yea. by the ten thou
sand.
Oh that the cholera would revel
among the hogs. and destroy them all,
from the mature SOW to the tender aud
succulent sucking.
oh 4! that the rot would destroy the
potato, and the cut-worm the tender
corn.
Then wood the people be distress,
and they wood charge 1t mp to the ac.
count Of John Sherman. resumption and
the Republican party. and We shood
elect Tilden and Reform In 1850, and
shood enjoy my Post Obs.
All nv these wood ii take, and more,
TO enshoor q triumph for the Dimocrisy.
Iwaited for these in vane. Nacher
favors the Republican party. There
was NO cut-worm, no frost, no hog chol-
era, NO murrain. no nuthin. he'd some
hope wuust, when heard that the wee
vii and Hsssian fy had appeared in the
wheat in Illinois. but my soul sunk
when the report wuz pronounced un.
founded. The wheat is averaein thirty
bushels to the akre. IL is sellin for q dol
lar or thsrsabouts. and the money paid
for IL 10 good. aud the farmer Is re-
joicin.
What good does il do for me to 60
about howlin' about hard times to far,
mer with thirty bushels to the akrs in
the barn?
What good Is II to howl about bad
money, when the farmer kin hev gold
and silver. ef he wants 1t. jist the same
- paper money!
What's the yooss nv talkin' about a
change Of polisy when the people is all
on broad grin?
I hev only one more hope. There are
seckuns where korn Ia the principal
krop, and korn may yit be destroyed.
A carly frost in Southern Indiana mite
do us sum good. but after the disap-
poiptment with the wheat hev but
faint hopes nv that. But ef there Good
be a frost that wood kill the entire krop.
and thus put up the price OF whisky and
aida pork. IL wood enrage that seckshun
and enshoor that State for Tilden and
Reform.
But hev NO hope nv anything. l
am 90 yoost to disappointment that l
shood be surprised at any sich streek NV
luck. Il don't do no good for me to
lssn asin o lamp post and swear that
work can't be had in conscience nv
John Sherman's reconstruckshsn, Tor
Joe Biglsr jesrs and asks when ever
did put in Q stroke nv work anyhowf
And wunst when ! wux declaimin agin
the scarcity nv labor. he put me down
by offsrin me dollar and half day
to 60 out and hoe corn on Q farm he
hex. for which he coodent git labor
enuf. To give rs any hope nv success.
We must hsv hard times In ded earnist.
and reel distress, and Nv that see no
hope. Nschsr is agin Us. and who kin
light agin nacher?
