A informal meetin wuz to wunst organized by the lite of the burnin skool-house, to wich Deekin PO gram addressed hisself. He remarked that this wuz a solemn occasion, so solemn indeed that he felt inadekate to express the feelins wich filled him. His mouth wuzn't big enough to give vent to his sole, though ef he didn't he'd bust. Wat are we met for to - nite, my friends? Sed he; wat calls us together? Wherefore these sounds uv joy where fore this fire, and wherefore is Bascom sellin likker at half price? Becoz we are rehabilitated - that's wat we are. Becoz the North hez gone into the Olive branch bizness agin, and we hev wunst more our rites. We are amnestied. We kin vote - we kin go to Congress - we are agin citizins uv the great Republic.
