world, sence wch time hev shifted about az

free lunches at the Corners.
come to Plugville the mint heered that a
duzzen NV niggers, wich he'd got the noshun
NV leavin ther natrel homes in the sunny
South, proposed to settle here. I felt it my
dooty to aid the strugglin whites NV this seek
shun to repel this invashun, that Injeany
shood be saved from the horrors Nv niger DOM
inashun. Good Injeany redoose em to ther
normal condishen Nv servitood, we shood well
come EN-, but when they come ez free men it
IL altogether too disgustin.
There wuz four families Nv EN- thet got off
at the stashen. Wat did they do? They
hedn't bin in town an hour afore they wuz
inquiring for work, and they all got work to
do amongst parsel NV Quakers, thet liv jest
outside the villij. Their wuz sum cabins fitted
up for EN-, and they went to work jist ez
natral ez tho they he'd bin yoost to it all ther
lives. Still the Dimocrisy wuz not alarmed,
for it didn't know the violense it wuz sleepn
over.
The postmaster (wich is true Dimekrat)
wuz the first to sound the alarm. He divuljd
the stupenjus fact that them niggers wuz
mailing letters to other niggers in the South,
and he promtly opened one NV em. His wust
feers wuz realized. The niggers wuz a-writin
to ther trends sayin thet they wuz at work
reglar; thet they wuz beein pade reglar for
ther work. and wuzn't at all afeered NV beein
molested, and erged EN- all wich Good git ava
to cum to wunst.
Their wuz eggscitemept umung the Dim
ocrisy wich baffels dscripshen. Suppose 200
niggers shood cum into this kounty and all
vote the Republican tikket! 1t wood change
the politikle complexyun Nv the kotnty and
possibly the State. The imegrashen must be
stopt to wunst and Inieany saved.

prowdest Nv my life.
1 called a meetin NV the Dimocrisy at Bone

1t wuz occashun long to be remembered.
Squire Papnfan opened BY remarkin that the
emergensy demanded vigrus ackshen. The
influx Nv degraded niggers into Injeany wuz
suthin that thretend the State with untold wos
and he wood resist it to the deth. The Qua

most owdashus manner, left their happy homes
in the South and settled in this county, being
harbored by evil disposed persons, and
Wereas. these niggers IL stirrin up discon-
tent among their degradid race by representa-
to them that they ken get work here and get
reglar pay for the same, and

niggers will, every cussed one NV EN-, vote

ez easy ez our brethren do in the South. there

Resolved that nigger immigrashun IL un-
mitigated outrage onto the white citizens NV
Injeany, and that it must be stopped by means
handiest to us.
Resolved, That ez the nigger izby nacher
slothful and indolent, and will never labor
ceptin under compulshen, we protest against
jails, thus imposin additional taxes onto al
ready tax-burdened people. It.. 8.
Resolved, That ez the niggers will work for
less wages than the free-born white man, his
comm will naturally throw the poor but
honist Caucashen out NV employment.
Resolved, That we reassert the old-time
Dimokratic idee that the white man is superb
or to the niger, and that our dawters shell
never be permitted to intermarry, with em on
no akkount, even ef we hev to kill the niggers
and lock uD the gals to Drevant il
Resolved, That we, respectin the cappytle
and intelligence Nv Plugville, pledge ourselves
never to submit to the dominashun NV a infe-
rior race, and therefore will take measures to
remove the four niger families jest arrived, ez
well ez the two which wuz here afore.
The squire hevin' invited all present to take
suthin, the resolooshens were yoonanimously
passed. The takin' suthin' wuz, unfortinitely,
Indefinitely postponed, Bonebrake mildly
but firmly refoosin' to set out the bottle ontil
the squire showed mummy, wich he wuz OH
able to do. s-
But the blood Nv Plugville wuz up, and so
tri1in' circumstance did not destroy their ar
dor. A Kintucky Dimekrat needs stimyoolat-
in wen he goes nlgger huntin'- the Injean-
yuns does it from'a luv NV it.
They formed in processhun and marched ute
to the Quaker settlement, and in less timo
than it takes to write these lines the cabins
wuz wrecked, and their furnytoor, beddin' and
sich utensils ez they he'd wuz safely hived.
Bonebrake took the plunder for likker, and we
he'd ginyooine Dimekratic love feast thet
mite. 1t wuz q okkashun witch infoosed
strength into the Dimokrisy NV the seckshun.
Plugville hez set example to the State. 1 am
ez happy here ez wuz in Kintucky.
