AIr. rasby's Views as to what the
Democratic Success Really Means.

Jan. ~, 1854.
The debate in the senit over the printin |
NV the utterances NV that reoklis and au'
dawshus rebel agin the South, Gen. Shor-
man, NV the late Yoonitid States army, |
witch stigmatizcd the loved and revered
Jefferson Davis, president Nv the sus-
pended confedrAsy, ez traitor, DON'T
apeer to please some NV our allies nv the
thin-s skinned dimocrisy Nv tho North,
witch hev noshun that II would hev bin
better he'd tho southern senators KEEP Their
mouths shet.
These timid dimocrats don't hev cleer
idee or to wat wuz the reel meenin nv the
late presidenshol eleckshun, wich RESULTED
in the triumfal elockshun Nv ox-Sherif
Cleveland to the presidency.
They don't seem 10 understand that 1t
wuz in no sense triumf and endorse
ment NV the dimocratic party, except so
fur ez the dimocratio party represents the
suspended but not dead confedrisy. We
NV the South insist that this pint be per-
petooally kept in mind.
In 1861 the southern states entered
upon n croosade fur the God-givon rite
nv whalin black nipgers in the south and
son Davis wuz chosen our leodor. One
southern soljer bein ekal to five northern
ones, we shood hov got thro all rite he'd 1t
not bin for the hordes NV Irish and Dutch
witch tho feend Linkin kop pourin into
the field agin u.s. Overpowered by this
horde NV furrinors mot reel northern men
fur, OF the shivelry alluz aluz inslsted,
ono southern man wuz ekal to five north
ern ones, the confederacy suspended. 1t
did not diet only suspended and bided
its time. We consentid to come back into
tho yoonyun, Tolyin with entire conf
dense on tho continyood fidelity Nv our
northern allies, and certain that in time
we shood regaue at the ballot-box wat We
had lost on the feeld.
Wat hez bin tho question at ishoo ever
sence that fatlo day ut Appomotax Court
House2 Wat hez the Republican party
alluz denied and wat hev we alluz in
Bisted2 Why simply that the south wuz
rite in its struggle for existence and that
tho north wuz wrong. We went into
every presidenshel contest on that ishoo,
and that ishoo alluz beet us.
Last fall we fit tho 6te over agin on
that identikle ishoo. and won. Wat fol-
lows? Arc we nv tho south not to enjoy
the froots Nv our victryp Who electid
Cleveland2 Wuz it Vermont, and Ohio
and Iowa? Wat wood the dimocrisy hev
BIN good fur without the solid southp Did
we carry Mississippy, and South Karliny,
and them states, and how did we do iR
Did we mako sacrifices fur the coz, or
didn't WEI Who wuz it witch stood at the
poles In all them states. armed with
trusty shot guns, and kept tho niggers
from votin the republican tikkit, and
likewise northern carpet baggors witch

north witch kept tho southern states in
line and RELY eiectid Clevolandp
1t wuz tho coniedrisy witch eloctid
Cleveland, and the confodrisy proposes to
enjoy tho froOts NV its own victry.
Nor is the oonfedrisy goin to be modest
about it. The confedrisy doesn't per.
pose to stand back and be run by its
allies The tale amt goin to wag the
dog The dog happens to DO the biggest.
The confedrisy is now tho government
and the confedrisy perposes to be recog-
nized ez SIGH. We are goin to con-
trole tho cabinit, and we are goin tc
see that 1t is filled with sch ez we die
tate. We don't say that we shell make
servis in the confedrit army quali6ca
shen fur offs under the moo adminstra
shen, fur we want to DO liberel, but even
that Is goin to hev its waite. 1t isn't tC
be expected that all NV the democracy Nv
the north Good actilly hev bin the con
fedrit servis, and, OF l sed, we shan
make actooal servis with us a quali6ca
shen; but the applicant far place frou
the north will hev to mako it appea
that no did at least sympathise with us
and did wat he Good fur the success u
the coz.
We shan't insist upon changin the fial
NV the kentry from the Stars aud Stripe
to the Stars and Bars, for it wood do N,
good, and we don't keer about irritatir
anybody. Now that we hev tho substan
shell froots Nv the vietry, now that W,
hev sole control NV things, we kin affor,
to be magnanimus even to them witch fl
under the old flag. So that we h9v &C
shell dror our salaries under, and we ar
willn the old aag shell rename, but W
don't want to be askt to concede to
much.
But we want it distinctly understoo
tibet the day Nv the bloc yooniform he
past. Fur twenty five years bloc yooni
form on one-legged man hez bin
suilishnt recommendation fur place 4
Washington. In the fuoher, OF in til
past, military yooniform and the los
NV arm or leg Is goin to DO recon
mendashun fur place under the govern
ment, but the color is changed. TIL
bloc heg gone out, and the gray is goi
to take its place.
That's watts goin to happen. To tn
victors blong the spoils-the confedrisy
not the democrisy, wuz the victors in las
battle.
Therefore We serve motifs on everybod
that we shell controle the appointment
in the interest NV the confedricy, an
we also perposo to DO treetid with do
respeCk We shell not permit disrespecI
full alloosions to Jetison Davis, nor sh,
we allow the struggle we made fur GU
rites to be characterized ez rebelyul
