PLUGvILLE,
(Wich Is in the State nv Inieany.1
Febrooary 4, 1880,
l hevent felt so good az do now sence I
married farm IN Moo Jersey, over 40 yeers
ago. That wuz a event IN my checkered ca
reer wich l never shel fergit. That event
give me promise Nv a 1oug life NV eeze unal-
loyed by labor, but like other promises it
waz broke. When that widder diskivered
that | wood not eithe hold the plow or drive,
but preferred the sweet content NV the vii
lage tavern, she crnoelly druv me forth into
the cold world, sence wich time | hev shift
ed about az best I Good, wich is bad enuff
Their is no free lunches at the Cornere.
/ come to PIugville the mint l heerd that
a dozen NV niggers, wieh he'd got the noshen
Nv leevin ther material homes in the sunny
South, perposed to settle here. 1 felt it my
dooty to aid the strugglin whites NV this
seckshun to repel this invashun. that Inje-
any shood be saved from the horrors Nv nIg-
ger dominachen. Good Injeany redoose EN-
to ther normal condishen Nv servitood, we
shood welcome em, butt when they come ez
free men it is altogether too disgustin.
There wuz four families Nv EN- that got off
at the stashen. Wat did they do? They
hedn't bin in town a hour afore they wuz in
quirin for work and they all got work to do
among parsel Nv Qu"kers that live just
outside the village. There wuz some cabins
fitted up for em /; and they went to work
jist ez material ez tho they he'd bin yoost to it
all their lives. Still the Dmocrisy wuz not
alarmed, forsit didn't know the volcano it
waz sleepin over.
The postmaster (1ich is troo Dinlikrat)
wuz the first to sound the alarm. He divul-
ged the stoopenjus fact that them niggers
wuz a mailin letters to other niggers in the
South, aud he promptly opened one NV EN-.
His wust feers wuZ realized. The nlggers
wuz writin to ther friends, sayin that they
WIZ beein paid reglar for ther work, and
wuznt at all afeerd NV bein mo,es id, and
urged EN- all witch Good git away to come to-
wunst.
Their wuz eggscitement among the Di-
mocrisy wich batfels descripshen. Suppose
200 niggers shood come into this county and
ali vote the Republican tikkit 1t wood
change the polittikle complexion the
county, and possibly the state. The imme-
g1ashen must be stopped to wunse and In.
any saved.
[ come jist in time to give the movement
agia EN- shape and form, and my work here
is the proudest Nv my life.
| called meetin Nv the Dimocrasy at
Bonebraker's grosery, wich is ez like Bas-
CONS ez two peas. 1t is singler fact that
wherever the Dimocrisy is in the majority
you will find groseries jist like Bascom's and
the proprietor thereof hez alluz the same OBJ
jeskshun to creditin his patrons wich dis
tingishs that narrer minded citizen.
1t wuz occashun long to be remembered.
| Squire Papman opened by remarkin that
the emergency demanded vigrus aekshen.
The influx nv degraded niggers into Injeany
wuz suthin that threatened the state with
untold woes, and he wood resist it to the
DEATH The Quakers witch harbored EN-
shood be visited with the wrath NV all rite
minded citizens, and measures shood be ta-
ken to not only prevent more comm, but to
eileen out them wich wuz here. He submit
ted the foller1n resolooshen:
WAREAs, Four families NV niggers hev, in
the most owdashus manner, left their happy
homes in the South and settled in this coun:
ty, bein harbord by evil disposed persons,
and
WAREAs, These nggers is stirrin up dis
content among their degraded race by repre-
sentin to EN- that they kin get work here and
get Fegler pay for the same, and
WAREAs, 1t is dead shoor thing that
these niggers will, every cussed one NV EN-,
vote Republican tikkit, and we can't count
en- out ez easy ez our brethren 90 in the
South, therefore, be it
Resolred, That niger imigrashen is un-
mittigated outrage onto the white citizens NV
Injeany, and that it must be stopped by the
means handiest to us.
Reso1ued, That ez the nigger is by nacher
siothful and indolent, and will never labor
ceptin under compulshen, we protest aginst
him comm among us to fill our alms-houses
and jails, thus iinposin additional taxes onto
already tax burdened people.
Resoloca, That ez the nigger will work for
less wages than free-born white man, his
comm vii naturally throw the poor but hon.
lst Caucashen out NV employment.
ReSOtoed, That we re-assert the oldtime
Dimekratic idee that the white man is 500
perior to the niger, and that our dawters
shell never be permmitted to intermarry with
em on no akkount, even eff we hev to kill the
n1ggers and lock up the gals to prevent 1T.
Resofred, That We, representa- the cap
pytle and intelligence nv Plugville, pledge
ourselves never to submit to the dominashen
Nv inferior race and therefore will take
measures to remove the four nigger families
Jest arrived, ez well ez the two wich wuz
here afore.
The squire hevin invited all present to
take suthin, the resolooshens We're yooani-
mously passed. The takin suthin WIZ on
fortnitly. indefinitely postponed, Bonebrake
mildly but firmly refoosin to set out the bot
tie ontil the squire showed money, wich he
wuz enable to do.
But the blood Nv Plugville wuz up, and
so trifin circumstance did not destroy ther
ardor. A Kentucky Dimekrat needs stim-
yoolatin when he goes niger huntin-the
Ingianian does it from love NV it.
They formed In persceshun and marched
out to the Quaker settlement and in less time
than it takes to write these lines the cabins
wuz wrecked and their furntoor, beddin,s and
sich yootensils ez they he'd, wuz safely hived.
Bonebrake took the plunder for likker, and
we he'd, ginyooine Dimekratic love-feast
that mite. It wuz okkashun witch infused
new strength into the Dimocrisy NV the
seckshen. Plugpille hez set example to
the state. am ez happy here ez I wuz in
Kentucky.

sober sence he got away with looking
glass, two saws, and some baby clothin, on
which Bonebrake advanced him gallon nv

tlenrent nv immigrants to clecn out. He
sez his motto is, 'sAmeriky for white Ameri-

shood lave ther homes?" Why, indeed?
