very worst enemies, and some believe if, when
| it is well known-and none know il better
! than these Loco Foco leaders, especially The
! Buffalo tribe-lhat this is rank lie There
are no people in the wide world more charta-
bic than The American people | know il
and who dares deny III Let any man 90 a.
broad-and then come homeland then hear
what he says about it. We'll then, if this is so,
who is it gives literally Of the fruits Of bis in
dustry,--lhe man who has sUmclhn, or the
man who has polhin land yet we hear
some of these Loco Foco dmigogues, who are
too idle to work for an honest Twin, talkn
round among the Ignorant and the wlckid, and
tellin 'em 10 join in the cry of down with the
rich, and tryin, in fact, to make it appear sin
IT. any man 10 have more with his Industry and
virtue, than they have with their idlencss and
wick cdness. / don't like 10 trust musclf in
ritn more on this matter, as my dander al
ways begins 30 lit when think ont.
But about this jollficaion talk'd on, don't
see that better could be dono than the plan
propose,-and hope somethin as nigh like it
al possible will be adopted; - however, don't
know but we must have somethln by way of
markn this election; and instead Of an iHumi-
nation let big gun tell the story from every
hill top, 76 times,-"Slam, Bang,"-from the
sea shore to the lakes and back agan--and
call on my friend Prentiss of the Louisville
Journal away over in old Kentucky, 10 char
ter the big thunder-cloud he promised spell
ago, TO let off a real rouser, and hope every
State will take iis own time in jnin in with
this victory, till it comes round Though old
Virginny, and let the last roar OF the big guns
be heard on the day when Congress gifts to-
gelhcr, jst 10 tell the folks there that tho wind
has shifted and It's high time TO tack ship.
And os regards returnin thanks for blessins
rcceiv'd, the Governor has already appointed
a day fer general Thanksgivin all over the
State, and il any man will read that "proela-
nation" now, he will see that the Governor
must have had notion that in addition 10 good
health and good crops, good sound constitutions
al principles would be estabshed-and now
if all these amt orth being thankful for then
are we most unGratelul. As day hen is ap.
pointed by the Governor, let us all as our good
old fathers and grand fathers did before rs, 90
TO church and have good sermon and inc in
the survices of praise and thanksgivin and then
come home and git the family together, and
invite in as many there is room for who
haint cot no family, and if there be anv pun
kins in creation | hope they wont be neglected;
and hope nc man of the rale grit will, on hat
day, fail 10 top of thankssiyin dinner with
a gintIine punktn pie, and do all in his power
to see that his poorest neighbor has one loo. [
] somehow feel sure things so right when pun
Kin pies are respected; our pious and patriotic !
fathers patronlzed thenl-and no two things |
in my mind, seem to hinge together SO snug,
and have hung together so long as patriotism /
and punkins.
Your friend and obd't serv't.
