I am trubbled, and my soul is bustin with greef.
The irrepressible conflict is onto us; it hez bin
transferd from the Ablishnists 2 us, and it 's burnin
among us like the onquenchable fire. And wuss;
we do n't know how to remedy the evil, coz we 're
in a state uv onsartinty—we do n't know how nor
where we 're lame.
When we got Micklellan nominated, I to wunst
exclaimed, “Halleloogy!” Here wuz fatniss!
Here wuz a candidate upon whom the entire
party cood yoonite. Ef a Dimokrat wuz rather
inclined to human gore, we cood pint triumfantly
to the fact uv his hevin bin a general. To a
peece man we cood say “Pendleton,” and to the
Suthern sympathizer, uv whom we hev much, we
cood prove that George B. never did the Suthern
army wun-tenth the damage he did the Northern,
and wuz ez eezy on em ez he cood be under the
serkumstancis, and we put him on a platform
that wood prove all uv them posishens. A candidate
uv sich stretchibility, on a platform so accommodatin,
methought ought to please everybody;
but sumhow it did n't. Peese men won't
go it, becoz it ain't peese enuff; war men won't
go it, becoz it ain't war enuff; and the Suthern
men won't go it, becoz it do n't recognize Suthern
independence. Hentz, all that is supportin Micklellan
is them uv our peeple who wants orfis—
whose principples is salary and perquisites.
The grate Vallandigum kicked out uv the
traces, and telegrapht “All is lost!” Alas! how
troo! All is indeed lost! Atlanta is gone, Mobeel
is goin, and Richmond is follerin soot. Davis
and Lee, in ther extremity, hold out ther
hands implorinly to the North, and wat response
do they git? Nary. We air powerlis. Provo
marshels kin arrest deserters at ther will, the
draft will be enforst, and Linkin will be electid.
Troo, all is lost! The Suthern coz is lost, the
post-orfises is lost, the doggerys is lost!
I shel emigrate to Canady. There the Dimokrasy
are in the majority—there, in that cold, inhospitable
clime we kin reorganize the party. It
will soot us better. It 's colder there than here,
and the system requires a greater quantity uv
stimulatin flooids. The niggers we will enslave,
and there will we build up a goverment based
upon the ijee uv the sooperiority uv the Anglo-Sacksun
race. “The stun wich the bilders rejected,”
et settry. In Canady will we find that
peese wich is denied us here.
