The South hez, probably, the most
forgivinest and placable people on the
face NV the known errth.
Whils the South is feerfully high
strung and sensitive. its people are
the most reasonable in the world.
and the easiest fetched by sense usSlI

If there's any differences uv opin.I

it Is entirely the fault w the North.

toward the South hez bin marked by
brOotality that is past beleef.
All the trouble that hez ensood,
from the beginnin, hez bin commen-
sed by the North, oontinyood by the
North, and. ef it Is eternal, the North
hez it to anser for.
When the South wanted to extend
slavery over the Territories the
trouble begun. To hev stopped it
then wood hev bin an easy thing. All
the North he'd to do wuzto withdraw
its opposishen, and let the South
alone.
When the North nominated the
feend Linkin the South protestid. Eff
the North he'd heedid that pertest.
and let Breckenridge have gone in,
all trouble would hev bin avoidid.
When the South pertestid again the
rane NV Linkin and fired upon Fort
Sumpter, the North Good hev avoidid
enraging the South by lettin NV em
alone. But ez eff bent upon trouble
it raised armies and opposed the
South.
Doorin the bloody and fratricidle
struggle the South was willin at any
time to end it, but the North wuZ in
the way. 1t refoozed to lay down its
arms, and finally the hoomiliated
South he'd to submit.
Even at this late day the South is
still willing to forgive, even ef it
can't forget.
The way is simple. All the North
hez got to do is to repair the dam
ages done by its hard hartedness and
stiff.neckednis. Let Garfield be
withdrawn from the field at wunst,
and let Hancock hey walk over.
Let the South control the Govern.
ment ez it yoost to.
There can't be no troe Yoonyun SO
long ez there are seckshunal lines.
Let seckshunal lines be obliterated'
by mergin the North into the South,
by wipin out the North entirely. Eff
ther amt no North, there kin be
nothing to fite about.
With the entire North in yOonity
with the entire South, there would
be sich a harmony as wood make an
gels weep.
We shood hev no more dispoots,
and the South wood administer the
Government to it's satisfackshuns and
hev nothin whatever to complane
We want yoonity, and wat I hev
indicated is the certain road to it.
Let the North make immejit

cock,
Give us back our niggers, and give
us sich appropriateness ez we need.
For the further sekoority NV States
Rites give the South the full swing
it yOosed to hev.
We are tired NV this everlastin Af.
feelin, this unbrotherly bad blood
that hez egsisted sOlong.
Do away with it. pledge nay life
and my sakred honor that the South
will bury the hatchet, and never
resurrect it, eff all that she wants now,
and sich things ez she may deside
she wants hereafter, is given to her.
If there is any more bad blood the
North is cfeerlv responsible for it.
Ez, "a proper starter for a complete
recunsiiashun 1 wood perpOse re-
unionuv the soljers North and South,

Bull Bun. The reunion shood be
presided over by Jefferson Davis, and
the committees shood he made up NV
the Confederit regiments wich made
the most honorable record, and
Wade Hampton shood be the prin.
cipal orator. This wood be a glorious
opportunity for the South to show
its forgivenis and the North to show
its repentance.
Wat want is a heelin Nv old sores,
and wipin out NY old bitternisses,
and know Nv nothin that wood so
so0the the Southern sole, and do so
much toward quenchin the smouth.
erin fires wich Northern arrogance
hev kept alive at the South.
