and Proposes to Act.
qoSFEDRrr x. .RoADs,

August IA, 1880.
The Corners hev bin consultin.
Not doin any planSin or hoein, and
consistently not being bothered with
any reapin, we hev plenty Nv time to
run tine government. That wuz wat
give the south its pre- eminence in
the old times. Hevin niggers to do
all our work, we Good give our hull
minds to poker, hoss-racing and gov
ernment, while the scriinpin north
wuz botherin itself with bildin rale-
roads and factries and sich other be-
littlln pursoots. Them wnz halcyon
days, and We perpose, the Lord bein
willin, to hey EN- BACK again.
The result ny onr consultashen may
be briefly statid. Wat we want is to
wipe out all the remainin sines Nv the
late onpleasantnis, and git back to
the old harmony and accord nv the
yeers afore 1860. We want to plow
up the battil feelds, to develop the
good old brotherly feelin, and claspin
our hands across the differences wicl,
onfortoonitly divided us, be wunst
more wun ig sentiment. wnn in feelin,
wun i'll interests, all under one flag.
To do this, NV course everything
must be sot back eggsackly where it
wuz. So long ez eny yestiges NV the
results NV the war are visible, NV
course we abel, be reminded that there
wuz war, and then our harts will be
fired, aud the ugly feelin will come
up. This is about the terms the
Corners will be compelled to demand:
/. That ther may be no unpleasant
remembrances of the great struggle
left, Afrikin slavery shel be re es,ab-
lished. with the chance given the
south Nv extendin che ihstitdoshen to
the Chinese and poor whites, Wich
wuz wat we intendid afore the. war.
2. To placate tile south, wich hez
he'd its feelins hurt, the gineral gov
erment shel. pay for all the mggers
liberated wich can't be found, with a
sooti.bfe cofiipehsashen for the time
nv those smancipatid by the feend
Linkfh..s
8. Ez a proper thing to attach the
south to the yoonyuu, and restore
proper feelin, the gineraf government
shood to wunst pay all losses sus-
tanned by the south doorin the war,
no matter by which side inflicted,
and not lookin too thundrin close
into the claims wich may be pre-
sentid.
4. That no vestigc NV bitternis may
remane-that the last root may be
dug out-penshuns sl,ood be paid by
the gineral government to southern
sojers in the Fervis OF the confedracy,
dafin EN- Back to the close uV tile
war, the same tz fedral soljers.
s. That Che sosth MAY feel q prop.
er intrest in the government, ther
sbood be inoggerati,i a very extensiv
system of internal improvements in
the south. To make it perfectly siioor
this system must mcleod the slack.
watrin NV Seceshn erik, tile, bildin Nv
gorgeous custom house and postkffis
at the Cross rodes, with sich other
improvements ez from time to time
we may beside We want. ''-''
6. To clinch the cpntinyood ale
glance ny the south, all these pay
ments shood be Made in government
bonds bearihg iritrest at the rate Nv
eight per cent, to be knowed ez t.the
consiliashen series,' wich makes it
shoor that the south will never sesede
till they hev spent ther bonds any
how. It wood prevent both seehesn
ez we'll ez repeodiashen, and wood
go 4 great ways tbward holdii the
south to the old flag. No southerner
wood think ,iv secedin with 2 COVER
ment bondin his pokkit.
These are the main pints. Nv
course it wood he naturally under
stood that Ihs = mocrisy shood hev
a eileen majority in both honses Nv
congris, and that the president, Ell he
is northern man, shel be in synpa-
thy with the opprest south, and sl,el
agree to sign without question any
bill wich the congris shell pass. :
We shell not insist that the name
nv the goveflnent shel Be changed to
that NV tho "sConfedrit States for
we don't want to offend our brethren
NV the north wicfi will be payin IN
trest on our bonds. The Corners
make no appeal 10 the good teelin Nv
the north, but only to their seIfishnis.
Eff the north wants to consulate US,
now is the chance. Ef the north
wants peace and harmony it hez now
2 goldeh opportoonity. We admit
we wuz beet in the war, and have
been beet in votin, butt il we gil
back all that we lost by the war,
with enuff added to make up for ppr
feelins bein hurt, We forgive EN-. we
are faygivin race, and magnanImps
iez well. Wat we want is peece, and
the meens NV livin in peece.
Will the north embrace this nnpor-
tunity, by eTectin Hancock, or will il
perpetooate' The old .feelin by maxim
Garfeef president?
