lyoor. They hevn't got the government they
wanted, but they find no fault with that, but are willin to take charge
of the wun they hev bin compelled to live under. Kin they offer fairer?
The fate uv war wuz agin em. Buryin all hard feelins, they extend to us
Chrischen charity, and say, Here we are--take us--give us our old
places. They hev bin chastened. Their household gods hev bin destroyed,
and their temples torn down. Wun neighbor uv mine lost two sons in the
Confedrit army; another son, which he hed refoosed $1500 for in 1860, he
wuz compelled to shoot, coz he wuz bound to run away into the Federal
army; and two octoroons, which he hed a dozen times refoosed $2500 for,
each, in Noo Orleans, he saw layin dead on the steps uv a skool house in
Memphis. Hez he suffered nothin? And yet he is willin to take a seat in
Congress--forgettin all he hez suffered, and forgivin the cause thereof.
What wickedness it is wich would further bruise sich a broken reed!

Therefore, ez yoo love yourselves and hate the nigger, I implore yoo to
act. Take yoor choice uv the platforms uv the different States--vote ez
a Johnson Unionist, or ez a Democratic Johnsonian--but vote.

Kentucky holds out her hands appealingly! Kentucky implores yoo to bild
up a bulwark North uv the Ohio River to save what little is left uv pure
Dimocracy there! Kentucky will back yoo in yoor endeavors. Will you heed
her cry? Shel she appeel in vain? Forbid it, Hevin!

October 14, 1866.

There is mournin in Kentucky. The results of the elections in Ohio,
Injeany, Pennsylvany, and Iowa reached me yesterday through a Looisville
paper, wich wuz dropped off the cars at Secessionville, wich is the
nearest station to us, and wich, I hapnin to be there, I picked up.

Ohio--40,000 Ablishin!

Injeany--20,000 Ablishin!

Pennsylvany--20,000 Ablishin!

Iowa--30,000 Ablishin!

ABLISHIN! Wat a dreery waste uv Ablishin! Not a single oasis uv
Dimocrisy anywhere,--nary Aryrat on wich our ark kin rest in
safety,--but all around us the m
