STARTS A PAPER.
Church uv St. Vallandigum, June the 30th, 1863.
I am back in the midst uv my flock. I coodent
be a marter. The Fedral orfisers dismist me with
the insultin remark that I wuz 2 smal pertaters
to notis. Hevin time on my hands, and feelin
that I 'm livin in vane onless I am doin suthin for
the grate coz, I hev determined to ishoo a paper,
devoted to disseminatin my vews. I ishood my
prospectusses to-day, uv which the follerin is wun:
TO THE PURE DIMOKRASY!
Prospectus uv the “Marter and Tirent Resister!”
Orgust 1st, the undersined will ishoo the fust
number uv a paper bearin the above title, devoted
to the interests uv the pure Dimokrasy. To inshoor
the fatheful just sech a paper ez they need,
the follerin able writers hev bin ingayjed, regardless
uv expence:
On arbitrary arrests—Petroleum V. Nasby.
On habis corpuss—P. V. Nasby.
On nigger—P. Volcano Nasby.
On vilashens uv Constooshnal rites—Mr. Nasby.
This brilyunt gallacksy uv intelleck, under the
edytoral control uv Petroleum V. Nasby.
The “Marter and Tirent Resister” will support
Vallandigum, and while givin the guvernment a
harty support in puttin down the rebelyun, will
uv coarse oppose—
Coercin the secedid staits;
Invadin the secedid staits;
Raisin armies by volunteerin;
Raisin armies by draft er conscripshen;
Raisin meens by tax or tariff;
Arrestin uv men for sympathisin with the
Southern Dimokrasy;
Arrestin uv eny body for any thing;
The usin uv niggers ez soljers;
The usin uv white men ez soljers;
Every thing the Administrashen hez dun, is doin,
er may hereafter do.
It will viggerously advokate—
The Constitooshn ez it is;
Doin away uv the Constitooshn;
The Union ez it wuz;
The plan for dividin the Union in2 4 parts;
The elekshen uv troo Dimekrats to good payin
offises;
The enforsement uv the laws;
The resistin uv conskripshen and enrolin offisers;
Morality and good order;
The mobbin uv Methodis, Presbyterin, Luthrin,
Brethrin, and uther hetrodox churches.
I appele confidently too the Dimokrasy for support.
The actooal, ginooine principles uv Dimokrasy
need a able defender, and I 'm the identicle
individooal. My hole sole is in the coz, and I am
pecooliarly fitted by eddicashen and tastes for the
posishen.
I bleeve the speckelashen will pay hevy. My
Church welkomed me back with a corjality trooly
affectin. They held a festivle on my return, to
wich the Sundy-skool skolars wuz present. I unbended
myself, and kist em onct apeece, takin a nip
of corn essense atween times, wich wuz nessary.
Mistakin a mother for her infant, the infooriated
husband assaulted me. I wuz reskood afore much
damij wuz dun. A speshl church meetin will be
held too consider his case.
Petroleum V. Nasby,
Paster uv sed Church, in charge.
