Now as Martial Tn told me the al.
err day, when he fqueezed my hand, and IOok-
ed gracious, that was a man of fome insu.
ence in my town, and that might bring ou,
all the folks in my neighbourhood to town
meeting, think ought TO exert il to heIo
make better times. Lar year was much
cooler than | uled to be, and Judge W
came to me aud told me it would never 10

was fa>~ev thought he mul have ioms
experience of their diftre1es. But there waa
one thing that troubled me little. went
over to Alfred one day to be bondfman for 4
neighbor of mine that was embargoed in jail
and went into Judge ks fore and
there l heard him telling number Of peO.
pie that Lincoln was the old General thai
fought during the war when Gore wa
along with Mowet, and therefore ali nun

I had often heard among folks that the end

but faid to myfelf, az he has the good of the
country at heart why fhould quarrel with
him for telling ftory that could do no harm
to any body. Town meeting came and |
voted for Farmer Lincoln and platter faced

we had fpeech from Governor Core IN

the poor Farmers. | was 20 plea(ed with i
that read il TO my neighbors, and we Ga
thought that Lincoln could not have writes
better one. Bat we were told that the a.

ding this, for aught could fee the General
Court went on and did as well as any Genera
Court could, and they broke up the nea Of
vermine in the county which was called the
Little Court Of Sections and they chofe 40

land Court and faw Judge Parfons and
Judge Parker, and was told that they nun

RATED; and when found upon calculates
that the addition TO my taxes would not %
more than three cents, thought il was pay

then had the late Election Law explained
to me, about which we have heard 70 many
fories Of It's taking away oHr right Of voting
and u ieems all that was meant by i was this

why fhould man come into meeting ana
