Mr.. Nasby Discourses Eloquently of the
Matter of Reconciliation and Mutual
Good Feeling.
The South hez, probably,:the most forgiving-
| est and placable people on the face NV the
| known erth.
Vile the South is feerfully highstrung and
sensitive, its people are the most reasonable in
the world, and the eesiest fetched by sense
Nv wat is iestis. Jests is the Southern mans
best holt.
Ii theirs emmy differences NV opinyun betwixt
the North and the South, it is entirely the
fault Nv the North. The North is made up NV
stubborn, unreasonable people. and its course
towards the South hez ben marked by broo-
tality thet is past beleef.
All the trubble thet hez ensooed, from the
beginnin, hez ben commenced by the North,
coniiny ooed by the North, and, eff it is eternal.
the North hez it to anser for.
Wen the South wantid to extend slavery
over the Territories the trubble began. To hey
stopped it then wood hev ben an easy thing.
All the North he'd to do wuz to withdraw its
opposshun and let the South alone
Wen the North nominated the feend Link in,
the South pertestid. Eff the North he'd heedid
that pertest and let Breckenridge hev gone in
all trubble wood hev bin avoidid.
Wen the South pertestid agin the rane nv
Linkin and fred upon Fort Sumpter. the
North Good hey avoidid enragin the South by
lettln Nv em alone. But eZ eft bent upon trub-
sble, it laised armies and opposed the South.

the North wuz in the way. 1t refoosed to Law
down its arms, and finally the hoomiliated
South he'd to submit.
Even at this late day the South is still willin
to forgiv, even eff it can't forget.
The way is SIMPLE. All the North hez got
to DO IS to repare the damages done by its hard
hartedniss and stiff-neckidniss. Let Garfield
be Withdrawn from tho feeld to wunst. and let
Hancock hev walk over. Let the South con-
troll the Government ez it yoost to.
Thar cant be no troo Ioonyun SO long ez
thar are seckshunal lines. Let seckshunal
lines be oblitterated by mergin the North into
the South, by wipin out the North entirely
Ef thar amt no North thar kin be nuthin to
tte about.
With the entire North in yoonity with the
entire South thar wood be sich a harmony ez
wood make angels weep.
we ShOod hev no more 0ispoots; and the
South wood administer the Government to its
own satisfackshun, and hev nuthin watever to
cOmplane NV.
We want yoonity, and wat hev indicatid is
the certain road to it.
Let the North make a immejt commense-
ment. Let it abandon Garfield and turn all
its forces to Hancock.
Give US back our niggers, and give us sich
approprlashunS ez We need. For the further
sekoority NV the South. establish the doctrine
NV States rites, and give the South the full
swing it yoosed to hev.
We are tired NV this everlastin ill feelin,
this unhrotherly bad blood thet hez eggsted SO
long.
DO away with it. pledge my life and nv
sakred OnOr that the South will bury the
hatchet and never resSurrect it, eff all that she
wants now and sech things ez she may decide
she wants hereafter, is given to her.
Ell there is eny more bad blood the North is
clearly responsible for it.
EZ proper starter for complete reconsilia-
shun, wood perpose a reunion NV the soiers
North and South to be held on the feeld NV
the tust Bull Run. The reunion shood be
presided over by Jefferson Davis, and the
COMMITTEES shood be made up NV the suryivin
Ginerals Nv the Confedrit Army. The grounds
shood be decorated with the flags NV the Con-
fedrit regiments wich made the most glorious
record, and Wade Hampton shood be the prin-
ciple orator. This wood be glorious oppor-
toonity for the South to show its forgivenis,
and the North to show its repentance.
Wat want is heelin Nv old sores and
wipin out Nv old bitternsses, and know NV
nolhin that wood SO soothe the Southern sole
and do so much toward quenchin the smolder-
in fires wich Northern arrogance hev kept
alive at the South
