CoNFEDRIr X ROADS witch is in the
State of Kentucky, Sept. &, 1871
never wuz so impressed with the soop-
eriority NV the Southern mind over
the Northern ez hev bin sence readin
the account NV the KILN nv Dixon by
Barksdale. There is several ways Nv
doin the same thing, and the wise man
alluz takes the shortest and most di-
rect. @ s
I wuz in Moo York doorin the rane
Nv the great Tweed, and am not too
proud to say that l wuz q arecipient NV
his bounty. In fact the only sense
Nv hoomiliashen / hev is thet l didn't
git more NV it, and that doorin that
golden era / didn't git enuffto smooth
my path way to the toom. I should
hey pervided enuff. the incum Nv wich
wood hev furnished me with my likker
for life, ,trustin to a confdin public and
the, onsartin resources Nv chance for
my board and cloze. But / didn't,
and am suferm in my old age in con-
sekence Nv my thotlisnis.
Tweed he'd his own way Nv controll
ing his party. 1t wuz simple and di-
rect, but very expensive and bother
some. When dimmekrat kicked out
NV the traces, and sot up for his self,
the great Tweed simply bought him up.
Itwuz question Nv how much money
he wantid, and that sum, big or little,
he got, it and got it to wunst. The
word that wuz oftenest in Tweed's
mouth wuz, How much?" and ef
the nan wuz wuth it he got it and no
question askt. s
made very nice thing Nv 1t in
the latter days Nv that great statesman,
by Dustin out in rebellion at ward
meetings and bein paid for quietin
down.
In the South the statesmen Nv the
Dimekratic party has other methods,
which are still more simple and direct.
They don't buy rebellious Dimekrats,
for the suffishent reason that ontil the
Suthern War claims are paid by the
Fedrel Government, and Southern SOL
jers are menshuned, they amt got no
| money to buy with. Perhaps when
that PActoiian streem shall flow over
the kentry, they will lose the Spartan
simplicity that caracteriZes Nv EN-
now. and become ez corrupt eZ Tweed, /,
| but they are willin to risk it.
However poor q Suthern statesman
may be he is never too poor to own a
double barreled shotgun, and to buy a
charge Nv powder and buckshot. With
10 hoie 10 lofo hou
hev all the persuaders they want.
Now let Dimocrat kick, or let o man
run ez an Independent, eZ Dixon wuz
| goin to do. They don't go to him
with money or offers of place, or pre-
ferment, ez Tweed did. They don't
send Committees to reason with him
| nor do they hold jint discussions with
| him. No, indeed. The Central Com
| mittee merely meets and resolves that
he is an incenj sry and disturber. He
is then expected to pack up his traps
and git. Possibly he may be bold,
| reckless man, and won't git. Then
his fate is onto his own head. They
don't like to do it, but a stern sense Nv
| dooty irnpels EN-.
The best shot with a sho'gun among
| 'em wipes out his gun, Iookin' ad-
mirinly at the nOtches on The stock
that mark the number Nv inceDjaries
| and disturbers that it htZ removed,
| and loads both barrels carefully with
| buckshot. He takes drink or two
| more than yoosual, to study his
| nerves, and walks camly out, and gifts
behind the corner Nv the grocery to
| which he knows the disturber will
come for his regler sustainer. Cockin
the gun he camly awaits his approach.
The WEetched man comes santerin
| along. Wv course he knows that be
is to be gone for. eff he nez lived in the
| kentry any time at all, but he never
| knows from what quarter the shivel-
rus shot is to be fired. He is about to
enter the door, when the fatal report
| is heard, and he falls to the earth a
| corpse.
Toe shivelry, after seeing that the
inceDjary is dead, goes calmly to the
nearest Justis Nv the Peece, the other
nominees on the regler tikkit go his
bale, and the court and b0ndsmen
go and take suthin, and it is done
| The kentry is saved wunst more, and
there is no further opposition to the
| DimOcrisy OF that county.
| There is many pints in favor of the
Southern method. Efyoo buy man

| pectin TO be bot over aud over. A
man with a charge Nv buckshot thrC
his liver amt gittin up to hev more
charges Nv buckshot put thro him,
but he is finished and the job is com
| pletid TO wunst. The harmony in the
party perdoosed by this heroic treat
| menG is final and lsstin, so fur eZ this
| world is conserned.

/ do approve Nv Tweed's yoose Nv
likker ez pOltikle fofse in poIytix
but that wood be impossible in MIssis
slppi. In Mo- York, likker is look ed
upon eZ luxury-in Mississippi ez 9
necessity. Besides, eZ We don't pay
tax on any that we manufakter, it il
too cheep 10 be really meens Nv in
f1ooensin votes. In Moo York, whel
it wuz 10 cents a drink, it wus
suthin 10 hev candidate to pay
for it. Down here, where it is only
about that much a gallon, and q jug
NV it can be found in the humIis
cabin, it is not so much of objik.
Their is no question that the
South hez a politekle system eggsac
kly- adapted to it. The shotgun is tht
reel power in the land, and, eZ Ions
ez we kin hold the kentry free from
the ntaminachen Nv skools and sich
it alIuz will be.
