Mr.. Nasty Lays Down the Fundamental |
Principle on which the South Acts and |
Proposes to Act.
The Corners hev bin consultin. Not dom |
eny plantin or hoein, and Consistently not be-
in bothered with reapin, we hev plenty Nv |
time to run the Government. That wuz wat
give the South its prominence in the old
times. Hevin niggers to do all our work, we
Good give our hull minds to poker, hoss-racin
and Government, while the scrimpin North
wuz botherin itself with bildin ralerodes and
factries and SIGH luther belittlin pursoots.
Them wuz halcyon days, and we perpose, the
Lord bein willin, to hev them back agin.
The result ov our consultashun may be brlei-
ly statid. Wat we want is to wipe out all 'iie
remainin sines Nv the late onpleasantnis and
git back to the old harmony and accord NY the
yeers afore 1860. We want to plough up the
battle feeds, to develop the good old brothessy
feelin, and claspin our hands across the differ
ences witch onfortoonitly divided us, be wunst
more wun in sentiment, wun in feelin, wun in
interests all under wun flag.
To do this, Nv course every thing must be
sot back eggsackly where it wuz. So long ez
eny vestiges NV the results NV the war are visi-
BILE, NV course we shell be reminded that there
wuz a war, and then our harts will be fired,
and the ugly feeling will come up.
This is about the terms the Corners will be
compelled to demand:
/. That Their may be no unpleasant remem-
branees CT the great struggle left, Afrikin sla-
very shell be reestablished, with the chance
given to the South NV extendin the institoo-
shen to the Chinese and poor Whites wiah wuz
wat we intendid afore the war.
.. To placate the South, witch hez hed'its
feelins hurt, the gineral government shell pey.
for all the niggers liberated witch can't IL
found, with a sootable compensation for the
time NV those emancipatid, by the feend Lin
kin.
8. Ez proper thing to attach the South to
| the Yoonyun, and restore proper feelin, the
| general government shood to wunst pay all
| losses sustained by the South doorin the war,
| no matter by witch side inflicted, and not look
too thundrin close into the claims witch may be
presentid.
4. That no vestige of bitternis may remain
| that the last root may be dug out-penshens
| shood be paid by the gineral government to
| Southern soljers in the service Nv the Confed-
| eracy, datin EN- back to the close Nv the war,
| the same as Federal soters.
| B. That the South may feel a proper interest
| in the Government, Their shood be inoggeratid
| a very extensive system NV internel improve
| ments in the South. To make it perfectly
| shoor, this system must mcleod the slack wa
| term NV Seceshn Crik the bildin Nv gor-
| geous custom house and postofis at the Cross
| Rodes, with SIGH other improvements ez from
| time to time we may beside we want.
6. To clinch the continyOod allegiance Nv
| the South, all these payments shood be made
| in Government bonds bearing interest at the
1 49, 1,D fS<l
| Consilashen Series" which makes it shoor
| that the South will never sesede till they hev
| spent their bonds, anyhow. 1t wood prevent
both sechesn ez Welt Ell oodiashen, and wood
| go great ways toward holdin the South to
| the old flag. No Southerner would think Nv
secedin with Government bond in his pockit
| These are the main pints. Uu corse it wood
| be materially understood that the Dimoerisy
| shood hev a eileen majority in both Houses NV
| Congris and that the President, ef he is a
| Northern man, shell be in sympathy with the
| opprest South, and shell agree to sine without
eny question eny bill witch the Congris shell
pass.
| We shell not insist that the name Nv the Gov
| eminent shell be changed to that of the "Con-
| fedrit States for we don't want to offend our
brethren NV the North witch will be payin in
| terest on our bends The Corners makes no
appeal to the good feelin Nv the North, but
| only to their selfshness. Eff the North wants
| to consulate us now is the chance. Ell the notrh
wants peece and harmony, it hez now a gold
| en- opportunity. We admit we wuz beet in
war and hev bin beet in votin, but eff we GIT
back all that we lost by the war, with enuff
added to make up for our feelins bein hurt,
| we forgive EN-. We are a forgivin race, and
| magnanimus ez WELL Wat we want is peeee,
| and the meens NV Twin in peece.
| Will the North embrace this opportunity, by
| electin Hancock, or will it perpetuate the old
| feelin by maxim Garfield PRESIDENT
That is the question witch evry Northern
| man must anser for hisself.
We NV the South shell deposit our votes for
| Hancock and peece, and shell shoot thro the
kidneys evry man in the Suthern States wich
| is not in akkord with US. We must have
| peece.
