that the man who has got Q little pork, OF -four,
os produce of any kind to sell. can save . great
deal by having . Canal ~ take il 70 market.
Now. what's that 70 Us, - Amt got no hogs, no
Hour, and produce, NO more ''nor nothing, we're
tho poorer class, and what's the use Of making
roads AMI canals 10 make the rich richer, and we
tho sburacn bearers" Pooree-even to starvation.
Would to gracious these system-men would DOLLY
examine tho natural avenues for carrying of the
surplus produce,-wed show 'cm . couple Of ma
tural routes, down our throats that could be ira
yelled without toll, and find q safe depot in our
stomachs. There're mistake bat I'D like to
have good dinner about this time! This child
ere hungry!
There are ono great difference between Us gem
tIemen loafsrs and the "Eastcrn gcstlemen"-,he
'sruiflcd shirt gentTy"-they wear rufles on their
bosoms, and We ON the neither end Of our shirts,
rs all modest men would do. / woro born IN
these 'sneck Of woods'' and l'm not to be sccered
into measures. I'm one Of the vigilance commit
tee Of holy democracy, and knows what's what.
Pm for democracy and Nulliication at least that's
wn,t our big oAicc-holdYr told mo lie for.
Now, friend Brutus, there are philosophy in
what yOI say, about these works Of Improvement.
They - = curse 70 Us "burden bearers" Now,
you know, that canal boat will tako at least one
niyat and day, they can GO nearly as far rs our
stages. They use only two or three horses, while
the stages would use about ifty-thcrc the farm
o. lOoses the safe Of . great many horses, for but
very few killed up by canaiIing. And the
farmer ia sending off his produce might as
well send his Wagon and team, ." the winter
season, as his sons would be having round tho
house reading, or perhaps he would havo to be at
the expense Of sending them to school. That
amt our way of doing things. These tarnal yam
KEGS have como ont hero and brought machines,
which take away even the sweat Of the laboring
mans brow,--,hcy take bread from the mouths Of
squaIling poverty. Ten years ago, you and
could havo got wheat for 37A cts. a bushsl, and
now. since these labor saving machines have be-
como in use we have to pay one dollar. Don't
you think that there ought To be q pauper law
passed to prevent men from coming out to this
country. These "ensecrs geneLeRscS'' raise the
prise Of every thing--cvcn land. Ten years ago,
when we hid no emigration except from Boards
halter shop C:cmenss store, land could be bought
Tor OF dollars per acre, now, It is worth II or
20, and these old farmers have sPeculated by
these eastern gentry coming out and paying high
prices for land, that poor lOafsr like you and
], will be hard set to pay for six feet Of ground to
lay bodies in when die. Well, guess we
will try and get two feet apiece and have
collins set cad, and thus show the ''ruicd bO-
SOM gentry that not to be sucked.
Although you and have in official capaci-
", as members Of the loco foco committee of Wig
Hence, advocated n completion Of the works un-
der cOntract ret You know that wo 60 IN distinct
ly for multiplying the whole concern. We don't
say 50 before sverv bodv: ~: :..s way VIC poke
it down the throats Of the faithful is ways
slow. And ii ticket succeeds, the way we'll
spite the Cambridge gentry will be q sin to old
Crockers ghost---We'll stop the Whitewater Ca
nal at ConnersviIie If we can't stop il at Brook
vile. or the Ohio river. We'll try to have it filled
up, il there is any money borrowed to carry on
such works.
Our oil humbue about the 5000, 900 lost by the Co
hens, and the $4,000 per annum having been
proved lie 81 often think it would be good poll
cy to drop it hereafter, and try raise a better
one. As the contingent expenses o: the Fund
Commissioners paid by the State, suppose we
say that DR.. Coo put two clean shirts in
week, and chsrgcd the washing to State; and
that the principal engineer, after breaking down
his constitution in tho service Of the State had
occasion To use two pills and q doze Of quinino,
and that the ''burisn berrers' had to pay for his
high living, and Cor the dandyis'n Of DR.. Coe.
TO close this communication, permit me 10 say
that &c nulIii:ation don't take place, it shall not
DO for the want Of our assistance, and If the sys-
tenn is prosecuted, may we be enabled to steal
blanket from poor Indian, and make
home in some forest wild where will not be
by the paintings Of the locomotive, or
the vruff cough Of the steamer.
