MATTER OF RECONCILIATION AND MUTUAL
GOOD TEELISG.
IFrom tho Toledo BlIIe.I
CONFIDENT y RoADs witch is in the
state NV kentucky,) September 4, 1880
The South hez, probably, the most
forgivinest and placable people on the
face NV the known earth.
While the South is feerfully high
strung and sensitive, its people are the
most reasonable in the world, and the
easiest tetcned by Il sense NV wat is jestis.
Jestis is the southern mans best holt.
Ii TIERS anE difference Nv opinyun be-
twixt the North and the South. it is en-
tirely the fault nv the North The North
is made up Nv stubborn, unreasonable
people, and its course toward the South
hez bin marked by Il brootality that is
past beleef.
All the trouble that hez ensood from
the beginnin hez bin commenced by the
North, continyood by the North, and, ef
it Is eternal, the North hez it to anser
for.
When the South wantid to extend slave
ry over the territories the trouble begun.
To hev stopped i. then wood hev bin an
easy thing. All the North he'd to do WIZ
to withdraw its oppcsishen and let the
South alone
When tie North nominated the feend
Linkin the South persisted. Ef the North
he'd heedid that pertest, and let Brecken-
ridge hev gone in, all trouble wood hev
bin ayoidid.
When the South persisted agin the
rane NV Linkin and fired dupon Fort Sump
ter, the North Good hev ayoidid enragin
the South by lettin nv EN- alone. But
ez ef bent upon trouble it raised armies
and opposed the South.
- Doorin the bloody and fratricidle strug
Gle the South WIZ willin at eny time to
cad it, but the North WIZ in the way. 1t
refoozed TO lay down its arms and finally
tte hoomiliatid South he'd to submit
Even at this late day the South is still
willin to forgiv, even ef it cant forget.
Tac way Is simple. All the North hez
cot r. do is 10 repair the damages done
bv its hard hcartcdness and stitf-necked-
MS Let Garfield he withdrawn from the
fell to wunst, and let Hancock hev a
,raik over. Let the South control the
government rs II yOost to.
There can't be no troo yoonun SO long
ez there are Eeckshunal lines Let seek
shunal lines be oblterated by mergin the
North into the South, by wipin' ont the
North entirely. Ef ther amt ~ North,
there kin be nothin' 10 fite about
With the entire North in yoonity with
the entire South, there would lie sich a
harmony US would make angels weep.
We shoOd Lcv no more dispoots, and
the South weed administer the govern
r-.a' p, It's own satisfackshun, and hev
uotbin whateve: to coInplanc nv.
We want yoouity, and wat | hev indi-
Gated is the certain road to It,
Let the North make a immejit com
mensement Let it abandon Garfield
and turn all its forces to Hancock.
Give us back our niggers, and give us
sich appropriations 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 ore tired NV this everlasting i'll
feelin, this unbrotherly bad blood that
hez eggisted SO long.
Do away with it. pledge my life and
my sakred honor that the South will bury
the hatchet, and never resurrect it, ef all
that she wants now, and sich things ez
she may beside she wants hereafter, Is
given to her.
FL there Is any more bad blood the

Ez a proper starter for a complete re-
consiiashun / wood perpose areunion NV
the soliers North and South, to be held
on the field TX the first Bull Run. The
reunion shood be presidid over by Jeiier-
son Davis, and the committees shood be
made mp NV the survivIn ginerals NV the
confedrt army. The grounds shood be
decorated with the flags nv the confedrit
regiments wicl made the most honorable
record, and Wade Hampton shood be the
principal orator This wood he glori-
Gus opportoonity for the South to show
it's forgiveness and the North to show itf
repentance.
Wat / want is a heeln NV old sores
and a wipin out nv old bitternisses, and
know Nv nothin that wood SO soothe the
southern sole, and do SO much TOWARD
ouenchin the smouldcrin fires wich north
ern arrogance hey kept alive at thu
