r too hefty for the Demokratic
intellek, and I fling em out for the considerashen uv the few Post
Masters we get from the Union ranks. To the Dimocrisy I Address myself
more partickerlerly.

DO YOU WANT TO MARRY A NIGGER? This ishoo is agin before yoo. Are you in
favor uv elevatin the Afrikin to a posishen where he kin be yoor ekal,
or perhaps yoor sooperior? That ishoo is agin before yoo for yoor
decision, only the danger to yoo is increased. The matter has become
threatening; for, disgise it ez we may, thousands uv em kin read, and
they are akkumulatin property, and wearin good clothes to a extent
trooly alarmin to the Dimokratic mind. We hev alluz consoled ourselves
with the soothin reflection that there wuz a race lower down in the
scale uv humanity than us uns. Shall we continue to enjoy that comfort?
That's the question for every Dimokrat to consider when he votes this
fall. Remove the weight uv legal disability, and ten to one ef they
don't outstrip us even, and then where are we goin to look for a race to
look down upon? It's a close thing atween us now; and ez we uv this
generation can't elevate ourselves, why, for our own peece uv mind, we
must,--I repeet it,--MUST pull them down.

Agin then I repeet, DO YOU WANT TO MARRY A NIGGER? Yoor daughters wunst
carried banners onto wich wuz inskribed that trooly Dimokratic motto,
"White husbands or none!" and in consequence they've bin mostly livin in
the enjoyment uv none. Are they to go back on that holy determinashen to
preserve the Anglo Sackson race on this continent in its purity? Do yoo
want the nigger--the big buck nigger--the flat-footed nigger--the
woolly-headed nigger--the long-heeled nigger--the bow-legged nigger--the
NIGGER--to step up aside uv yoo, and exercise the prerogatives uv
freemeen in this country? Do you want the nigger aforesed to be mayors
uv your towns, with all the hatred they hev towards us? Wat chance, O
Dimokratic dweller in cities! think yoo yoo'd hev if hauled up afore a
nigger mayor on a charge uv disorderly conduct? Wat chance wood yoor
children hev in a skool uv wich all the teechers wuz niggers? Wat chance
wood yoo hev wen arrestid for small misdemeanors, afore nigger judges?

How, let me ask, in the name of High Heaven, wood yoo like to be tried
for hoss stealin afore a nigger jury?

"But," say some uv yoo, who, set ravin by drums, and flags, and sich,
went off violently into the war, and wuz, perhaps, saved from starvin by
nigg
