Wo lied a little consultashen at the
Corners one day last week on the subjick
uv a platform for the ensooin Nashnel
Convensheu. We lied present, miuglin
in sweet accord with us, a Democrat
from Ingeany. one from Illinoy, one
from Noo York, one from Connecticut,
and oue from Pensylvany. Ez we wuz
consultin—a sort uv feelm our way—Joe
Binler came in. Ilopin to smooth the
cuss down, I to-wunst iuterdoost him ez
a Confedrit Roller, whereupon the North
ern friends with less sense than I sposed
men coed 'possess, sprung to their feet
and shakiu him vocilerusly by the hand,
~w ore they were proud to meet him, and
insistid on furnishin him with all the
tlooids he coed consoom that nite any
how. And they to-wunst made known
the obji.k uv them beiu there and in
vited him to join em.
- -Certinly," sed Joseph, "certinly. Let
me see how we will go at this thing. Yoo
are from several different Staits, and it is
barely possible that ther may be a slite
difference uv opinion—not cilia to eggs
cite any unpleasantuis, but still enull to
kind o' mar the Zeneral onenis, the sweet
harmony 11 V soles attooned in unison.
Let ine sejest that the l'arson's hat be
sot onto the table—Bascom, yoo cuss,
wipe orf the likker that's spilled onto it
—and that yoo write each on a slip the
opinyons yoo hold and drop em in, that
when they are took out and compared
they may be filed down ez it were, and
the sharp corners rasped off—that they
may be sort uv amalgamated into one
sweet smellin whole. Is it ago ?"
They all agreed. Deekin Pogram,
Elder Punt and Issaker Gavitt declined
to jine in, for reasons obvus to all who
knowd em, but Captain McPelter and I
who kin rite represented the Corners.
"Now," sed this Joseph winkin vish
usly at Pollock, who had dropped in a
minnit afore, "we will prepare our little
opinyuns on the subjict uv 'The
Nigger 1' "
The entire bilin uv em wrote bizzy for
fifteen minits, each droppin his Ineuhra
shens into the hat ez he finished.
"Mr. Pollock, will you extract these
droppins uv wise minds and read em ?"
"Certainly," sed Pollock. "Certainly.
Here is the first."
"I am opposed to extendin any rites to
the Afriken becoz he is naterally inferior
to the white—so inferior, indeed, that all
the trainin and educashen that cood be
squandered unto him wood not bring a
fully matoored one up to the level uv an
average white child uv 14. To give the
ballot to sich wood be a dangerous per
cedin, wich every lover uv liberty shood
frown onto severely.
"JETLIRO L. KIPPINS, uv
"I am opposed to givin the Afrikin
the ballot becoz when he hez it uv coorse
he is eligible to orfis, and will ondoubt
edly be selected to fill the most preemi
nent posishens. Imagin Good Hevins I
imagin nigger judges, nigger Congress
men, nigger 'Representatives, nigger
school teachers, and nigger Governors !
My Anglo-Saxon blood revolts.
DENNIS 0 / SHAUGNESsY,
uv New York."
"Bully agin I" shouted Bigler ; but
somehow the rest uv em didn't "bout
"bully." They begun to look puzzled.
Pollock pulled agin :
"I am opposed to elevatin the nigger
becoz there is a nateral repugnance, a
heven-given, ineradicable conflict be
tween the races. Thermtggerolith
black skin, thick lips, kinky hair, and
disgustin odor, eggcites loath n, contempt
and Alcorn in the bosom uv every white,
pertikerly uv the proud Caucashen fe
male. Ther is a barrier between the
races which nacher hez set up and wich
cannot be scaled. Why attempt it ?"
"Joriss Puma, uv Injeany."
The gentleman from Ohio wanted to
withdraw hizzen and revise it, but Big
ler prevented him. "I agree with my
esteemed friend Pepper," sed
"ez to the disgustin characteristics uv the
Afrikin and the nateral loathing wich
mists in the bosom uv every wen-regu
lated Caucashen. But I disagree with
him ez to the impossibility uv the proud
Caucashen aforesaid scalin it. Deekin,
hez it ever been scaled in this vicinity.
FATHER ABRAHAM.

CHASE.
Let not eko, hut the hundreds of yaller
niggers in these parts auser. Pollock,
go on :"
`•I am opposed to elevatin the nigger
for the reason that if ouct releesed from
the disabilities the law imposes, he at
once becomes our ekal. Wat follows ?
Do we want niggers for our sons-in-law ?
Do we hanker after female niggers for
our daughters-in-law ? Wood any proud
Caucashen want a nigger woman for a
step-mother ? I demand, not only the
continvooance uv the laws we have agin
marryin niggers, but more stringenter
ones. I call upon my common country
to pertect us from nigger ekality.
SETiI katWHY, UV Ohio."
'Spoken like a man and a Demokrat,
ez you air," ped Bigler. "Here is an
other and a potent reason agin givin the
nitger his rites. They grow on our hands.
Let us keep the run uv em. First, ez he
is so much below us he can't be educat
ed. Second, we must prevent I.:m from
bein educated, for fear uv his being our
ekal. Third, nacher made him too dis
gustin to approach us. Fourth, we must
hey laws to prevent us from marryin
him. Here is richness indeed. Go on
Pollock— go on."
"•I pertest agin this, said I, seeing to
where this insane cuss wuz leading us.
"I pertest agin continyooin this any
farther."
"Not a bit uv noose, Parson. There
are several other opinions in the * hat,
wich we will hey. Pull em, Pollock."
And Pollock pulled em
"I, ez a citizen uv Connecticut. am op
posed to givin the nigger rites in that
state, becoz, incapable ez he is of intelli
gent labor, naterally indolent, careless,
antrtustientreiglre ktfilleVer

it ez a slave. He wood come north in
droves and fill our almshouses and jails,
and be too heavy a burden for our over
taxed people.

uv Connecticut."
"Perceed Pollock," sed Bigler.
"I stand opposed to conferriu rites
upon the Afrikin, becos, hevin alluz
been accustomed to labor, and bein uv a
naturally docile disposhisen, percisely
the material uv wich to make labrers, he
wood overrun the north seekin suthin to
do, and ez he wood gladly work at less
wages than the proud Caucashen labrer,
he wood drive them out uv employment
and into the almshouses and jails.
"P. YEAGER uv Pennsylvany.":
Pollock turner l'art — voclr erously
and uproariouslY, and the others lookt
ez uncomfortable oz men cood. It
bed
gone too fur already, and I seezed !my
hat and emptied wat remained onto the
floor.
"Sir !" sed I, lookin Bigler thro and
thro, "voor conduct is reprehensible in
the extreme. Yoo come here, air, ez a
disturber, ez a maker of mischeef, ez a
destroyer of peace, and—"
"Easy Parson, easy, or I may possibly
forget the consideraskun doo yoor
and choke yoo a trite. The fact is, my
friend Pollock and I wuz actooated by
the highest possible motives, wuzn't we,
Pollock ?"
Wretc .
"We felt that it wuz nessary that
suthin be agreed upon in this nigger
question. It's bin a tough thing to

it; and I wantid to harmonize our views
and put em in a shape to meet and anser
