Their inscripshuns wuz insultin. They hed em all spelt rite, and; they
wuz full uv aloosions to ekal rites, and onqualifyed suffrage, and sich,
planely showin that the poor, misguided critters hed no idee that they
wuz loaded down with a cuss, and that becoz uv that cuss they hed no
rites watever.
In Richmond I saw other evidences uv the terrible breakin down uv the
barriers wich Noah set up atween the races. I wuz sittin in a hoss car,
when a nigger hed the onparalleled asshoorence to enter and set down. I
remonstrated with the chattel, who laft in my face.
Thus the old landmarks is bein removed, and thus the foundations uv
society is a bein broken up. I saw in Richmond fair wimmin who hed, in
olden times, never known wat labor wuz, a washin dishes, and cookin
their own vittles; and I saw men, who hed wunst lived luxuriously on the
labor uv a hundred niggers, now drivin drays, and sellin dry goods and
groceries, and sich, and my soul sunk within me. Wuz the cuss a mistake?
Wuz the nigger not the race that wuz cussed? or has he becum so
bleached, so lost in the white by amalgamation, that there ain't enough
uv the black left in each indivijjle for the cuss to hang to.
Andrew Johnson! in your hands rests our cause; on your ackshen depends
our weal or woe! Yoo, and yoo alone, kin remedy this.
