DEAR SAMMY,-Now don't get old Nick into!
vour head. and npblish what am now going to,
write. tell YOU it is not for the press, but your
own private carr and if it falls into your peoples
hands before it gets to yours, be sure 10 tel 'he
it's not to go into the paper Don y TOT iiea'en
sake say any thing more about the ]aaacial DaiH,.

has cut US up here root and rind. would give my
best white top boots we had left it alone. POUNDS
what swinger that was in reply. Ours was but
pop gun-and they have given US the long lom'
the sound Of which is now ringing in every taxaoies
car through the state 1t will meet US at pillipi,
when the election comes on. What does tlat rnean'
| have often heard our lawyers talking OF meeting
at pillipi. Does it mean a good cause, with the
court against you, and the jury for you ! II n
does, | shant care. Or does 1t mean blow up
suspect it does--we if it does, every body knows
we were blown up before this came out. we can Z
te.l-it may rain and keep the people away from
the election-or the yellow fever may get into VII
mington-ihe ,yphus may chance to get among
the people here. don't want, to be sure, this TO
happen-at least among ray own customers. Weare
very apt to have the typhus here when you have
the fever at Wilmington. Has there been any
cases Of it yet with you it it's likely TO ne there
let me know. George has gone to see the Chan
cellor. You saw them both didn't you, when you
was down What did the Chancellor say about
the amendments Can't you say that yon are au-
thorised to say it is not so You cantoblige them,
nor me, more than writing against Stout and Udris
but don't say any thing more aboAt the JHdictat
Bank-keep up the FIRE upon Stout and DariS.
Don't attack Hazard, lest they should get at
Painter-but score in upon Stout and Dacis. Hunt
them both down-sck to the honorable. The peo-
pie have got out, good deal, with the Chancellor
and Ge0rge--but you can't conceive how they both
chuckle when they see any thing against Stout and
DariS. The Chancellor has good reasons for be-
ing against them both---has been against them for
more than thirty years For Heavens goodness don't
print another syllable about the judicial Bank-
say you meant the marsh-the mGrst bank-not
the Smyrna Bank DON'T forget to tell me what
pWipi means-however you need nj mind will
get George to ask the Chancellor--get almost every
thing know in that way, and SO does George
never open book neither OF us-eScept George
the Auditors Report-snd | my ledger. George
has got the Auditors report by heart--never saw il
in my lle--becn in the Assembly too--got myself
into hobble there about the Banks the streets Of
Smyrna-ah have at Darts about that-and Stout
too.-Didn't vote either way-yes dld-was for a
Bank at SfGyrna-a,ways for Bank at Smyrna
provided was president Can't you get the Chan
cellor upon his feet again he is upon his last legs
say a word for George and me too-when you
can lug it in cleyerly. George is great arbitra
tor, as we'll as Painter; did you know that ? Chan
cellor always calls upon bin. DO you know whai
has made the Chancellor SO unpopular III tell
you-O you know it yourself. | know what has
made George and ME so-or rather am not so IN
popular as George is. He foolish fellow, will al.
ways have finger in every bodys pie. | never
minds any bodys business, cares about any bodys
business but my own but George, he will always
be meddling. II we were to have an appointment
nj OH
thing to do with it. Have you seen my new house
how do you like it l saw Stout after you gave
him one OF those tucks under the short ribs-he was
reading the paper-I.ord! how the fire few out of
his eyes but don't know whether it was in fun
or earnest; yet suspect if you had been going by
at the time, he would have swung you like kitten
atop of one OF the houses. DO you carry pistols or
dirks when you come down if you do you had
better leave them at home people here don't mind
them kind of things--if you was to draw them in
Smyrna the people would have you breeched in
the open streets-they would indeed-they'd get
some OF the boys TO do it, and could not help you
and it would not tell clever in the Waterman. II
DAVIS was mind to fight he would play the mis-
chlef with you--and So would StOut--but you need
not mind, they are both Judges and they wont dare
to attack you. Indeed il you were to get horse
whipped, it would be the making OF you. I've been
trying to make song about PdiHter-when it's
done VIII send it TO ycu--never tried il in my life
before, can'tmake cut The dackles and spongees-al
the end OF every verse, l put a chorus--the two
hTst lines rhyme toerably well--the last limps q
tle--but cant find cut where it's lame. Here Il is.
Huzza, boys, for Paynter,
liuzza, boys, for Paynter,
Our great arbitrator.
I've got Daris and STINT in it-Daris rhymes
70 Stare 'iS--and stout to routi intend 10 pu, the
Chancellor and George and myself in it, but can't
get any thing to rhyme with Georges and nv nam.
will You think of something for me +? Old .Slth!
won't do for the end OF ne--shall keep him I'M
the middle between George and me--whe.u Ne pen.
