WAsHIYeroN, 26th Sept, 1888.
I. Major ]. Downing. Of the end, Brigade Of
DowpinsyilIe Militia, and second best man in the
Government, Il and the Gineral being pretty
much the hull ont thinkin that the last Procla.
nation aqin B,ddle and the Bank ha'nt got rea.
sons enui in it-gve out this my Proclamation by
way Of Cincher.
The times afs'now githn pretty squally; and
il we don't look out sharp, things will 60 all to
smash, and now is the time for all on you to
back me and the GiDeral. We have been now
nigh upon FIVE years at work, hooking down abu.
ses and still things don't 60 exactly to our notion.
We have taken away all the Offices from the
opposition folks; still some on EN- manage to git
gronev to live on somewhere else. We have ia.
ken away the prntin from them. and Gin it all to
our folks; still they keep up prntin other papers,
and we cant manage to choak them oil no how,
but they will keep jawin and twttin on US; they
wont print none Of our notices, but keep all the
while writin and printin their own, and try to
make fulks think that Webster, and McDufy,
and Adams, and Sargent, and Clay, and Blnny,
and Everett, and Gallatin, and raft more OF
such kinder fellows, know more than Mr. Van
Buren,, Mr.. KendIe, Mr. Cambr cling, and Ma.
jor Barry. and such good friends Of our'n, and all
as true as steel too. But and the GIneral have
found out all about il. Biddle and the Bank
are the parments-aDd il they are not put down
there is no tellin the harm they'll do u.s. Bid
dies Bank amt like other Banks-ev'ry thing it
does goes pretty much right agin US; aud most OF
the other banks do all they can to help US There
is one at Albany called the Regency Bank; now
that is the right kind Of bank, it loans money on.
ly to our friends. and gifts Its thumb on all the
banks IL can. and makes them do 50 too; and u

the reason why our folks are so strong IN Albany;
and il the United States Bank was managed jest
like the Regency Bank, we should all on US be
much better of And what was the United States
Bank made for? Didn't Mr.. Madison, and. Mr..
Monroe, and MIR Adams, when they we're Pres
idents Jest 60 into It whenever they pleased, and
shovel out the money to their friends, and the
opposition folks didn't git one cent; and now
that GineIal Jackson IS President, and who has
done more for the country than all the Presidents
and Ginerals and Commodores, and the whole
bunch on EN- ever did, when he wants 10 do a
triie for his friends in the same way, they wont
| let him-weli then, says he, I'm the Govern
ment, and want my money; and then they turn
to and print books and speeches, saying the Gin
eral amt the Government; and try to make folks
think the Secretary Of the Treasury and Con.
gress, and not the Gtneral. has the right to take
away the money. Now the Gineral don't care
no more for Congress than he does for the Secre'
tary Of the Treasury. and he'll sarve them jest
as he has him. We don't want them, they ony
make trouble, unless they do jest as we tell EN-.
We want mony, and must haveit Some OF our
folks who have been workin hard for US haint got
any, and we have got no more Offices to give en-
The rich folks have pretty much all the mo.
ney, but as we can out vote EN- they ought TO
shell out-and that's pretty much Mr.. Van Blu.
ren's notion too. And bis notion is too. that
there ought to be q convention to nominate q
President. jest like that one spell ago in Bal.
tmore. One man is enough for each State. ony
get the right one. and then vote BY majority. jest
as George Creamer did when he gave six and dir.
ty votes for old sPensylvany;i it cont do to wait
too iong-Its ony three years afore we shall want
another President, and We oughtto spring to il
now Jest as the Gineral says about the -Bank-
