CONFEDRIT × ROADS
(wich is in the Stait uv Kentucky),
April 1, 1866.
Charles Sumner is not a very popular man in this section uv Kentucky; on
the contrary, quite the reverse. He is known here ez an Ablishnist; ez
one who is a chief supporter uv that hidjus sin--the infidelity, I may
say, for a man may ez well deny the whole Bible ez to cast discredit
upon Onesimus, Hagar, and Ham, onto wich the whole system uv Afrikin
slavery rests--the origenator, therefore, uv the infidle beleef that
Slavery is not uv divine origin, wich, judgin from the experience uv the
last five years, appears to be gainin ground in the North. He is not,
therefore, popular in this region.
Yisterday I attendid a tea party at Deekin Pogram's, to wich the elite
uv the Corners wuz present, incloodin an Illinoy store-keeper uv the
name uv Pollock, wich hed bin invited because the Deekin hed, some three
months ago, bought a bill uv goods uv him on ninety days' time, and
wantid an extension.
