Mr. Nasty Lays Down the Funda
pnental Principle ON which the
south Acts aud Proposes 10 Act.
CoNFRDRT X ROADS, (Which is in the
State Nv Kentucky, August IA, 1880
The Corners hev bin consultin. Not
doin any plsntin or hoein, and conse.
kently not bein bothered with any
reapin, we hey plenty nv time to run
the Government. That wuz wat give
the South its p.e.eminence in the old
times. Hevin nisgers to do all our
work, we could give our hull mind to
POKER, hoss racin and Government,
while the scrimpin North wuz botheriD
itself with bildin railroads and factries
and sich other belittlin purscots. Them
wuz halcyon days, and We perpose,
the Lord bein willin, TO hey EN- back
again.
The result nv our conaultashen may
be briefly statid. Wat we want Is to
wipe out all the remainin sins Of the
late upplsasIntnis, and git back to
ali the harmony and accord Nv the
yeers afore 1860. We want to plow up
the battil feelds, to develop that good
old brothsrly ieelin, aud claspin our
hands across the differences, wich un'
fortoonitely divide US, be wunst more
wun in sentiment, wun in feelin, wun
In interests, all under one flag.
To do this, Nv course every thipg
must be sot back eggsackly where 1t
wuz. So long tz sny vestiges nv the
results NV the war are visible, Nv course
VIZ shel be reminded that there wuz o
war, and then our hartS will be fired,
and the ugly fselin will come up.
THIS is about the terms the Corners
will be compelled to demand:
|. That there may be no unpleasant
remembrances of the great struggle
left. Afikin slavery shel be re- estab'
lished, with the chance given the Sou th
of extendin the irstitooshen to the
Chinese and poor whites, wich wuz wat
we intended afore the war.
2. To placste the South, wich hez
he'd its feelins hurt, the Gineral Gov
ernment shell pay for all the niggers
liberated wich can't be found, with a
sootable compsnsashun for the time nv
those emRpoipated, by the feend Lin
kin.
3. Ez a proper thing to attach the
South to the Yoonyun, and restore prop
or feelin, the Gineral Government
shood to wunst pay all losses sustained
by the South dOorin the war, no matter
by which side ipaictid, and not looking
too thundrin close into the claims wich
may be presentid.
4. That no vestige Nv bitternis may
tmane-that the last root may be dug
out-penshuns shoOd be paid by the
Gineral Government to Southern sojers
nv the Contedraoy, datin EN- back to
the close Nv the war, the same ez Fed
raj soljers.
s. That the South may feel proper
interest in the Government, ther shood
bs inoggeratid very extensive system
Nv internal Improvements in the South.
To make it per ectiy shoor this system
must mcleod the slack-watter OF Seces-
shun erik, the buildin Nv a gorgeous
Custom House and Postoftis at the
Cross Rodes, with sich other improve
ments ez from time to time we may de-
sire Wa want.
6. To clinch the continyood ale
gianco nv the South, all these pay
msnts shood bs made in Government
bonds bearin interest at the rate Nv
eight PER cent to be Frowed ez "tbe
G, N illiashen SERIES" which makes IL
shoor that the South will never sesede
iii tney hev spent thsr bonds anyhow.
II wood prevent both sechesn ez we'll
ez repoodiashen, and wood go great
way toward holden the South to the
old flag. No Southerner wood think
nv secedin with government boad in
his pokkit.
These are the main pints. Wv course
II wood be natrelly Understood tina. the
Dimocrisy should hev eileen majority
in 10th Houses Nv Congris, and that
the President, ef he is Northern man,
shell be in sympathy with the opprest
South, and shel agree to sign without
question any bill wich the Congris shel
pass.
We shell not insist that the name nv
the Government shel be changed to
that nv the " Confedrit States" Tor we
don't want to offend our brethren nv
the North wich will be payin interest
on our bonds.
The Corners make no appeal to the
good feeliu NV the North, but on'y to
their selfshnis. IF the North wants
to cens Late us, now's the time. IF the
North wants peece and harmony 1t hez
now golden opportoonity. We admit
we wuz beet in war, and hav bin beet
in votin, but II we git back all that we
lost by the war, with enutf added to
make up for our feelins bein hurt, We
forgive em. We are forgivin race,
and magnanimus ez well. Wat we J
want is pecce and the meens nv livin |
In pseoe.
viii the North embrace this oppor-
by electin Hancock, or will 1t
the old feelin by maxim |
President
That is the question wich every |
Northern man must anser for himself.
We nv the South shell deposit our
votes for Hancock aud Peece, and shel
shoot thru the kidneys every man in
the Southern States wioh Is not In ak
kord with us. We must hev peecs.
