Is Published in Indiana - The
Trouble Resulting Therefrom.
coSFEDRIr RoAps,)
(which is in the State Kentucky,
Aug. n.
I sigh ez did the late Henry A. Wise,
Nv Virginny, for a kentry in wich tler
amt no noosepapers. Newspapers hev
bin the c1ss nv Dimocrisy, and the one
thing that stands in our way. Moose
papers and free skools are wat kills the
Dimekratic party. They can't git along
together nohow. Wat the Dimocrisy
wants is a seckshun in wich Their amt
no noosepapers, ceptin them wich is
publisht by authority, and whose con-
tense are soopervised by committy be-
fore publicashen.
Two weeks. ago we he'd a meetin at
the Cross Roads, to reconsile differ
ence that he'd onfortoonately sprung up
in the ranks Nv the Dimocrisy. The
trouble WIZ this
The Corners he'd ishood its bonds to
build a Court House and markit
house and other improvements witch
Bascom he'd took, he bein the principle
capitalist. He bot EN- up at about 10
cents on the dollar, and holds to EN- to-
day.
Now comes the trouble. The citizens
Nv the Corners don't want to pay the
l. 1e4 ell II I, 1,
the bildings, but that ther is some legal
flaw in the contrack, wich don't compel
EN- to pay, and they perpose to take adj
vantage NV it.
Immejitly Their WIZ split among the
citizens. Them wich holds the bonds
insists that suthin should be paid onto
EN-, and them WITCH don't hold 'em, but
wich hev TO pay taxes, insists that they
shan't pay anything.
The question hez gone into politix,
and the result is two tikkets liable to
be nominated, and the Dimekratic party
dividid.
It wrz my dooty to pervent this, and
called the Corners together and made
a speech to 'e1n. [ he'd the meetin-house
decorated the same ez [ alluz do on i'm
portant occasions. / bed on the pulpit
the skulls Nv the FedreLsoljers from
Bull Run, the thigh-bone of the Fedrel
soljer starved at Andersonville, and the
skeleton Nv the niger killed at Fort
Pillow.
Friends, sed I, Gin the presenceuv
these reliks I implore you to pause.
Wat is bonds, wat is taxes, compared to
a Dimekratic triumf? Yoo are quarrelin
over purely lokle issues. Before 700 di-
vide and endanger. a Dimecratic triumf,
consider wat Lee wood hev done, wat
jackson wood hev done he'd they bin in
yoor places. Remember that the prin-
ciples we are fitin fur to-day are the
principles they fit fur, that the idees
underlyin the Confederacy did not die
with the surrender NV Lee, but that
they are in eggsistence now, and that
this eleckshun decides whether the
South or the North triumfs.'
Invent on in this way an hour, and
finally got the people satisfied to settle
the matter without any trouble, and
went home feelin good.
Now wat happened? There happened
to be present that mite cousin Nv
farmer In the naberhood. who is the
edetor Nv radikel paper in Injeany..
That feend took down in shorthand my
entire speech, and he sent it to his pa
per in Injeany and published it in full,
with illustrashins Nv the bones NV the
Fedrel soljers, and everything connected
with the meetin'. And the Republican
press Nv the North is usin' it to show
that the old rebel sperit amt ded yet.
This is what boJhers me- What rite
hez that man to send speech North
that wuz intended solely for the South?
I didn't want that speech publisht in
Injeahy. It wuz intendid for Southern
consumpshen only. 1t wuz made for the
Corners, and for the Corners only. It
is trubble with Dimocrisy, that 700
hev to hev speeches for every different
lokality. Eff I make a speech at the
Corners / don't want it sent up into In
ieany OF Ohio, and red there, for Dimoc-
risy at the Corners and Dimocrisy in the
North is two distink things. ea
[ don't know ez it will do me eny coed
to deny it, ez Wade Hampton does, for
the cussid speech wuz reported in full,
and is kerrect. But it is raisin blazes
with us. tt is bein yoosed to show that
we Nv the. South hev not lost eny NV our
old ices, and the worry, Nv it is that it
does show that very, thing.
/ Hereafter when / make a speech I
| shell be sheer that ther amt eny re-
porters or noospaper men present, cept-
in such ez are in our intrest. Hereafter
| shell hev the report Nv my speeches
revised by myself afore they are
| printed, and I shell know wher they are
/ goin. !lrii ie in9i #f'~is
/ Then things will be SAFE This trouble
hez worriednle more than anything door
/ ing the calnpane.
