sieh "a did the late Henry A. Wise, u
virginny, for q kentry In which Their ain
nonOosepAPer. Noosepapershev been In,
euss Of DimOerisy, and the one thing tina
stands in our way. Newspapers and FIRE,
skOOls are wat kills the DinokrAtie party
They can't git along together uohow. Wa
the Dimocrisy wants Is 3 seckshun in Eiet
there amt NO newspapers, ceptin then
Eieh 3 publisht by authority, and who's
eontense are sooperrissd by q eonmitty
before publeiashen.
Two weeks ago We he'd 8 meeting at the
Gross Roads to reconcile difference tina;
he'd onfortooratelv sprung up in heranks
Nv the Dimoeraisy. The trouble wuz
this:
The Corners he'd ishood its bonds to
build Court House and q NSTkit House
and other improvements, Wich Baseom
bed took, he bein the principle capitalist.
he bot EN- up at about ten cents on the
dollar, and holds 70 EN- TO- day.
Now comes the trouble. The citizens
Nv the Corners don't want 10 pay the
bonds stall. They hold that they hey the
billings bat that Ihet il some legal AAW
IN the eoDtTaek, Wieh don't compel EN- to
pay, and they perPose 10 take advAudge
Nv Il. -
Immetifly Tier wuI 4 spli; among the
citizens. Them Wieh holds the bonds in
dsts that su'hiu should be paid onto EN-,
and them Eieh MT hold EN-. bat Ejch
heY to;pay taxes, iuSist5 that they sbAn't
pay anything.
The question hez gone into politix, and
the result Is two tikkits liable % be nnmi-
natit, and the DimekrAtic party diyidid.
Il We my dooty TO prevent this, and ]
called the Corners together and made 4
speech 70 EN-. l he'd the weetin house
decorated the same q Alluz do on I'M
Dortant occashuns. I he'd on the pulpit
;be skulls nv the Fedrel soliers from Ball
Run, the thigh bone nv the Fedrel solier
starved at Andersonville, and the skeleton
~ the niger killed Il Fort Piller.
Friends, sed /, in the presence Nv
these reliks implore you TO pause. Wat
is bonds, wal is taxes, compared to Dime
kratie triumf? 700 are quArrelin over
purely lokle ishoos- Before yoo divide and
endGnger aDimskrStie tilmf, eonsiderEHt
Lee wood bey done, vat Jackson wood
hey done he'd they bin in yoor places. Be !
that the principles We are htin |
iur to-day are the principles they 1T fur,
hat the idees underlyn the Confedraey
did not die with the Surrender NJ Lee, but |
that they are in tgssisteneenoE, and that
this eleekshun decides whether the South |
OF the North tIiumfs.'
went on in this way an hour ,and finally |
got the people satisfied to settle the mat
Ter without any trouble, and went home
ieslin good.
Nov vat happened? There Happened |
70 be present that mite 8 cousin ~ { far
ner In the naborhocd, who Is the edetor
Nv 3 RsdiksI paper in Iniesny. ThSt
teend took down in short hand my entire
speech, and he sent il TO his paper in In
ieany, and published it in foll, with illus
LrAshUns NJ the bones ~ The Fedrel sol
ieTs, and everything connected with the
neetin. And the Rspubikio pres ~ the
North Is uEin Il TO show thatthe old Rebel
sperit aIn't ded VT.
This Is what bothers ms. What rite hez
that man 70 send speech North that vUA
lutcu161 rOlGiy lut VIC Gu4Lu5
/ didn't want tat speech publisht in
Tnjeany. 1t was iniedndid for southern
only. 4 WIZ made for The
Corners, and for the Corners only. It iSa
t-gbbis with Dimoerisy, that 700 hey 70
hey speeches for every different lokHlity.
Ef made speech st The Corners / don't
want It sent mp into Ipjeany OF Ohio, and
red there, for DimoerisY At the Corners
and Dimoerisy in the North Is two distink
things. Il
don't know a It will do me eny good
to deny 1t, e. Wade Hampton does for the
enssid speech wuG reported in full, and i
korTeet. But il is raisin blszes With Us Il
Is bein yoosed to shoE that We nv the
South heT not lost eny Nv our old ijees,
and the worry Nv it Is that II does show
that very thing.
Hereafter when l make speech i shell |
be shoor that Their amt eny reporters or
men present, eePtin such e are
in our interest. Hsresf;er shei hey the |
reports Nv my speeches revised by myself
Afore they are printed, and shel know
Eher they are goin.
Then things win be sale. This trouble
hez worried memore thaasnything doorin
the campane.
