To the Editor Of the Interior Journal
MONTGOMERY, ALA, Nov. Poor old
Kentucky, you have gone back on your
principle, and the grand old democrat
&c party" that has built YOU up, and
made you what you are. Your politics
is now as black as a native born Afri-
can, you are to be pitied in your down
fall, and straying off after strange Gods,
and no doubt but what you will be we'll
cursed in your downward course. Shame
on you for laying aside the white mans
principle, and going blindfolded into a
party that will cause you grief and
shame. Am afraid you have bit off your
nose to spite your face.
The INTERIOR JOURNAL states that for
40 years the state was democratic, look
how you we're blessed during those 40
years, and how happy and prosperous
you were. You have the wide world
reputation as growing the finest women,
her equal cannot be- found on the globe,
and also for raising fine stock and whis-
Ky. You are equal to the Gland OF Prom
Use" in many respects.
Ye prodigsls should return to the dem
ocratic fold, repent and be baptized with
the democratic tears, you will then live
happily together on the fstted calf of
yonr land.
Be more watchful in the future, and
do not let the "wolf' in the sleeps cloth
ing enter inlo your fold, and destroy
your peace and happiness.

"The gangrenous ioetus Of timid DEM

cause of power baing transferred to fac

which buries its poisoned point in the vi

from our books, the malta OF ignorance
