NAsBY INITIATES WADE HAMPTON.
he Makes a Speech Intended for Purely
Southern Consumption.


State of Kentucky), August 81, 1851
sigh ez did the late Henry A. Wise nv Vir-
ginny, for kentry in which ther amt no
newspapers. Newspapers hev bin the cuss
Nv dimocrisy, and the one thing that stands
in our way. Newspapers and free skools
are wat kills the dimecratic party. They
can't git along together nohow. Wat the
dimocrisy wants in a seckshun in wich
ther amt no newspapers, ceptin them which
is publisht by authority, and whose con-
tense are soopervised by committy before
publicashen.
Two weeks ago we he'd meeting at the
Gross Roads, to reconsile difference that
he'd onfortoonately sprung up in the ranks
NV the dimocrisy. The trouble wuz this !:
The Corners he'd ishood its bonds to
build court house and markit house and
other improvements, wich Bascom he'd
took, he being the principle capitalist. He
bot EN- mp at about ten cents on the dollar,
and holds to EN- to-day.
Now comes the trouble. The citizens
NV the Corners don't want TO pay the bonds
at ALL They hold that they hev the bid
ings, but that ther is some legal flaw in the
contrack, witch don't compel EN- to pay,
and they perpose to take advantage Nv it.
Immejitly ther wuz split among the
citizens. Them wich holds the bonds in
sists that suthing should be paid onto EN-,
and them wich don't hold EN-, but wioh
have to pay taxes, insists that they shan't
pay anything.
The question hez gone into politix, and
the result is two tikkets liable to be nomi-
mated, and the dimekratik party divided.
1t was my duty to pervent this, and /
called the Corners together and made
speech to EN-. l he'd the meeting house
decorated the same ez always do on i'm
portant occasions. | he'd on the pulpit the
skulls NV the fedrel soljers from Bull Run,
the thigh-bone NV the fedrel solier starved
at Andersonville, and the skeleton Nv the
nigger killed at Fort Piller.
Friends" sed l, in the presence NV
these reliks implore you to pause. Wat
is bonds, wat is taxes, compared to Dim.
ekratic triumf? Yoo are quarreln over
purely lokle ishoos. Before 700 divide and
endanger a Dimekratic triumf, consider
wat Lee wood hev done, wat Jackson wood
hev done, he'd they been in yoor places.
Remember that the principles we are ftin
fur to-day are the principles they fit fur,
that the idees underlyin the Confederacy
did not die with the surrender nv Lee, but
that they are in eggsistence now, and that
this eleckshun decides whether the South
or the North triumfs.
went on in this way an hour, and final
ly got the people satisfedto to settle the mat
ter without any trouble, and went home
feelin' good.
Now wat happened? There happened
to be present that mite cousin Nv farmer
in the naberhood, who is theeditoruv rad.
ikel paper in Injeany. That feend took
4 81
he sent it to his paper in Injeany and pub
bones NV the fedrel soljers, and everything
connectid with the meetin. And the Re.
publikin press nv the North is usin it to
show that the old rebel sperit amt ded
yit.
This is what bothers me. What right
hez that man TO send a speech North that
wuz intended solely for the South.
/ didn't want that speech publisht in In
jeany. 1t was intendid for Southern con-
sumpshen only. 1t wuz made for the Cor
ners and for the Corners only. 1t is a
trubble with Dimocrisy, that you hev to
hev speeches for every different lokality.
Eff make a speech at the Corners / don't
want it sent up into Injeany or Ohio and
red there, for dimocrisy at the Corners and
dimocrisy in the North is two distinck
things.
don't know ez it will do me eny good
to deny it, ez Wade Hampton does, for the
cussid speech wuz reported in full, and is
kerrect. But it is raisin blazes with u.s.
It is bein yoosed to show that we NV the
South hev not lost eny NV our old ices, and
the worry NV it is that it does show that
very thing,
Hereafter when make speech l shell
be shoor that ther amt eny reporters or
noospaper men present, ceptin such ez are
in our intrest. Hereafter 1 shell Rev the
report NV my speeches revised by myself
afore they are printed, and shell know
where they are goin.
Then things will be safe. This trouble
hez worried me more than anything doorin
the campane. PETROLEUM V. Massey,
