Wuz it any wonder that
we went under? Ther ain't but one thing left to us, and that we
strangely neglected. My liege, why wuz the NIGGER not made the central
figger this year, ez before? They is the capital uv the Democrisy, its
refuge, its tower of strength. I spoke in Berks county myself, following
one of them new-fangled Democrats, who hed set em all asleep talkin
stuff to em that they didn't understand. Mountin the rostrum, I
ejaculated,--
"'MEN AND BRETHREN, DO YOO WANT TO MARRY A NIGGER?'
"'No! no!' they answered, straightenin up towunst.
"'Do you want niggers for sons-in-law?'
"'No! no!'
"'Do you want laws to prevent you from marryin niggers?'
"'Yes! yes!'
"'Do you want to be marched up to the polls by those who tell you how to
vote, beside a nigger?'
"'No! no!'
"'Then vote the Demekratic ticket.' And they all replied,--
"'We will! we will!' and they did. You see, your Exslency, the
Demekratic mind isn't hefty enough to comprehend them fine arguments ez
to constitootinality, et setry; and when a speaker deals in em, they
suspect his Dimocrisy, and fight shy uv him. But nigger they kin all
understand. It's soothin to the Dimekratic mind to be continyooally told
that there is somebody lower down in the skale. They desire a inferior
race, and therefore hev bin pullin the nigger down toward em for years.
