(We publish tho following M-ithout Comment; taking the liberty of So correcting it as to make it intelligi ble.) -Ttjskaxoosa, Nov. 19, 1870. Mr. Randolph; In the Momitob of the 15th mst. is a paragraph whioh is calculated to reflect npon my loy alty to the Demcormjy.
It is true I did not vote in the election of the &th iust.; mt rt was not bsee I did not wish to votei Jess sa. I fcrft my bsrber-ehop twice eu that day, and proceeded to fee Oourthosse to veto. but the Jollfl were eo rowdod tlt I coukl hoc get near ecugh to cast my vote. Jess .so. I am, what I have always been, a good Democrat awl a friend of those whito felks whose pafe rouage hs aiipported me in this town during the three years, or more,.iu I wnicn a nave resided hci.
rfess so Nothing would insult my dignity & a colored gentleman more than for H to be insinuated that I am a Radical and therefore ive better than 'white carpet-baggers, scalawags aHd cotton-patch niggers. Jess so. ThoHgh the circumstanceB mentioned above prevented me from giving Mr. Lindsay & Go. a M lift w en clectieu-day, my extensive iuttuence was exerted in their behalf, for my aBsistaiit-liar-ber voted the Democratic ticket clean through.
Jess so. As long as the Monitob holds out against the Radicals, so long will I, Desaie Roberta, Proprietor of the " Caucasian barbershop," hold out. Je3 so, Sir. 1 woaldn't sejl my birth-rieht for no mule and forty acros of ground, so long promised by the Rads" no, not ciiougn x nau tne mine so dead sure as to be mounted on his back, or the laud so certain, as to have my shop ouucou ic. joss so.
JL'll stick to de ceut whito-folks till Gabriel toots his trumpet. Jess so. Sir. Please nnb lish this, or if not, place mo right btf- tore tile respectable public. Jess so, Very respectfully, Dossie Roberts..
