iomal District CHARAorERs, old Crop and Far
mer G.
Old Crop.--Good morning Farmer g.; you see
have returned from my perisrenations, and am now
ready to redeem my pledge
Farmer e. have waited with much solicitude
since last interview, to learn the result OF the
setting of the cabinet in l.. and what was done at
d and the measures to be adopted to bring the good
people up to the work.
o. C. We had a very pleasant sitting at L.;
there agreed to act marshal general of the whole
corps and we devised some plans which will here
after be made known to confidential friends
we there concluded that with two papers to one,
with perfect organization, together with the in
{luence that Government officers from abroad might
exert, and the locofoco documents which rep
resentative had generally spread over the district
that we might safely calculate upon complete tri-
.imph.
f. G. What documents have been distributed
Father Crop? have received none.
o. C.. You arc too well established, it is the
doubtful that look after; Allen speech Of Ohio,
Wrights of N. Y. and Calhoun's have been the prn
cipa, and you know friend G., that many men may
be won simply from the compliment of having
a document ranked by a member of Congress,
whether they read it not--and our representative
wings say to hmself) forwarding these docu
mcnts.
r. G. Do you suppose these documents will do
much since they have been confuted by the unan-
swerable arguments OF Webster, Davis, Bond and
Naylor?
&C Don't say unanswerable, Farmer G., we
have one for any thing.
f. G. Pray let me into the secret, the wings
often bother and talk me down, when attempt to
argue upon facts principles.
o.. C.. have not been careful in my instruc-
tons, Farmer G. as ought you have been so ODE
dent and faithful that have neglected to learn you
the gamut The party have agreed to stereotype ev
cry thing that cannot be fairly answered federalism.
This you see is the course papers are pursuing,
and if the wings you down, you have only
to cry federalism, arstocracy Hartford Conven-
ton, and cap off with, just say Nick Bddls, and
you have the argument.
f. G.. What wonderful wisdom our leaders pos
sess; will obey instruction and the first wing
meet shall have enough of it, but what further
secrets have you to communicate?
o. G. left l.. in rain storm, after taking nv
brandy, as you know have become very fond oft
of late, and proceeded directly D., saw Father E.,
learned there trouble in the wigwam, and we
sent post haste, S. B. NJ, to Montpelier directed
dsaAected there, promise any thing and every thing
to those who about to break of the traces
1 visited many ofmy old friends, let them into
plans and returned home much fatgued l also
met last Tuesday evening our friends at Wheelock
and Sheffield and we there have the work well laid
OUT and in those towns think shall properly in
struet them how to vote. Now, friend G., 1 have
a few directions as you appear willing to exert your
influence in the good cause
F. G. will hear you Eand fulfil with
fidelity, as have perfect confidence in yonr expe-
rence and profound skill as a manager. You la
bored like hero in 1884 for Esq. f. and you would
have effected his election that time if The Wings
had voted for him. l recoIIect that you told me
that you did your work in the night when honest
people in bed-that you went to Montpelier
and returned so secretly that your neighbors
nor aware of it, and suppose you will do now,
you induced more than 500 Wings to vote Tor him
and gained the election. You are exactly the man
for this business; you have been in it all your days,
and understand every nook and crack and believe
you the best man to tell the towns who are
their best men for Representatives in State Leg
lslature. L trust as you have engaged to visit all
parts of the District, pull the wires and put in
lion all machinery, you will do it in the wisest
manner.
&c. Away with your compliments F. G.
am going to be absent few days; shall take trip
to Orleans and Essex-but in the mean time you
must converse with your neighbor ID. and fill his
ears against federaists, and cold Me-" and when
lretuin will hear your success and give you far
Their particulars of my proceedings.
Fan Buren, among the .NiatJfers.-The follow
ing toast was given at of the 4tf of July Gel
ebra'ions in Charleston, S. c., which we take
from the Mercury:
Martin Van Buren-pledged to support the
interests OF the South-he is bitter pilI but he
must be SWALLOWED.
The Madisonian as opposite sentiment to
the above, proposes one for the Van Buren, Sub
Treasury men Of the North as follows
John G. Calhom1-engaged in war against
the interests ofthe North-"he is bitter pill, but
he must be st0dllotDed"
AS bitter as the pills are, and however nausea
ting these swalowed--and the followers of
these anlipodal captains made TO swollow
the CONNECTED bane of the two, the SubTreas-
ury.
