next week'-but if the news got is on
ly hall true, you wont find some folks for
a good many weeks to come" Sich a

Georgia III never hearn on alore-why
it seems TO me, them plagy Wings have

left enuf for seed.
hear tell you are goin to have a jol-l
litication on this matter on the 22d inst.
i must git The Two Pollies up to town
by that time if possible, and take hand
in it-but | hope it will be one of that
kind that will do more good than eril.-I
Now l will tell you what my notion is
about it, and what for one mean 10 do
l mean TO make a kalklation Of what it
would cost to illuminate the biggest house
Cf had one) in the city-then would,
instead of spendin this money in this
way, just lay it by till the winter comes,
and either take it myself or give it to
ward committee TO buy wood or coal for
such families as by misfortun are suaerin
and desttute-I would make no distinc-
ton of party, but whererer there were
found suffering women md children there
would go in and make an illumination
in their stoves or fire places; this is the
kind Of illumination ] hope every good
Wing will 60 for, and take my word for
it, il will bring Jlessins on The cause and
the party. This course will be rank poi
son to the leadin dimigogucs of the Loco
Foco party-they are the chaps that tell
the ignorant but honest poor that the
Wings are their very worst enemies, and
some believe it, when it is well known
and none know it better than these Loco
Foco leaders, especially the Buffalo
trbe-that it is rank lie. There are
no people in the wide world more chari-
table than the American people. !
know it--and who dares deny it, Let
any man 60 abroad-and then come
homeland then hear what he says about
it. Well then, if this is so, who is it
gives literally of the fruits Of his indus
try-the man who has some,hin, or the
man who has nothin?-and yet we hear
some of these Loco Foco dilnigogues,
who are to work for an honest hyin, talk
IN round among the ignorant and the
wicked, and tellin 'em to join in the cry
or down with the rich, and tryin, in fact,
to make it appear sin in any man 10
have more with his industry and virtue,
than they have with their idleness and
wick kedness. ] don't like to trust myself.

thing as nigh it as possible will be adopt
ed;-however, ! don't know but we must
have something by way of markin this
election; and instead Of an illumination,
let big gun tell the story from every
hill top, 76 times" Slam, Bang"-from
the sea shore to the lakes, and back
agin-and | call on my friend Preniiss,
Of the "Louisvile Journal'' away over
in old kentucky,to charter that big thun-
der cloud he promised spell ago, to let
off Il real rouser, and hope every state
will take its own time in jinn in with this
victory, till it comes round through old
Virginny, and let the roar of the big
guns be heard on the day when Con-
gress gifts together, Jest to tell the folks
:here, that the wind has shifted and its
high time to tack ship.
And as regards ret,u'nin thanks for
blessins receiv'd, the Governor has al
ready appointed day for a general
thanksgivin all over the state, and if any
man will read that "prot lamation" now,
he will sec that the Governor must have
had a notion that in addition to good
crops and good health, good sound consii-
tutional principles would be established
and now if all these aint worth being
thankful for, then are we most ungr ate
full. AS day then is appointed by the
Governor, let us all as our good old ia.
theirs and grandfa,hers did before us, go
to church and have good sermon and
jine in the sarvices Of praise and thanks
givin and then come home and git the
family together, and invite in as many
as there is room for and who haint got
no family, and if there be any punkins in
creation l hope they wont be neglected.;
and hope no man of the rale grit will,
on that day, fail to top off a thanksgivn
dinner with ginuine punkin pie, and do
all in his power to see that his poor neigh
Dor has one too. somehow feel sure
things 60 right when punkin pies are re-
sPectcd; our pious and patriotic fathers
patronized them--nnd no two things, in
my mino, seem to hinge together so snug,
and have hung together so long, as pa
triotism and punkins.
