Mr.. Advocate;
Ever since wrote that little letter of the mint
which see printed in your paper, have been tryir
to think something on them few words you put il
above my letter As Sam Slick and Major Downin
are purity considerable chaps in their line, still ha,
not the honor Of being acquainted with them; but
should like to grasp them chaps by the paw However
don'tthnk | would jump and shake one leg QUITO
Joint With gladness either, If isMsor and the 9th
or Clock Pedar
Well, we are ina pretty severe pickle in these or
burgs asthereis darn heap chaps being sued an,
our officers jist have as much busnessas they want
and sometimes aspeck more. Now don't see wha
in all creation folks see, in going much in debt anc
having the officers poking the writs and executions in
their faces; and then they will say wtha face as long
as ones arm, Sab me; these hard times is list 90
ing to ruin all on us aorc we frogs jump older,
and see il staring us full moon in the face" And
sometimes them will git list as ashy asa wet
hen, and puff and blow like summer toad frog, and
say they don't care how much they are sued and be
dafned to the officers too; but when comes to the
pinch, they drop their under lip and look Ikea niger
with the tooth-aehe in his upper jaw; and then they
come and grun, and cluck, and putter round the off
GERS looking kinder like butter wouldn't melt in their
mouths, wanting ist day two longer to sell their
cotton, and make kind rise, and then the officers
say they will wait awhile, they kinder smile on one
side, and then kinder smile on the other and al last
tney viii 60 off looking proud as if they owned all
out doors, and all this is for going too much in debt
so don't see what on airh people see in trading
above his purse. Now jis let day ortwo more pass
OFF, and folks will kinder have their eyes wide open, and
be full ofnn
-SWell some arc talking and saying that our ocofoco
member from this county, has kind on notion to re.
sign, and then out kind on candidate ne II
November and spose his notion for it, is to see how
the folks liked him. as a lawmaker but if he uuder
takes that game, he win find his head pokinr out on
the little end of blowing horn, and squirrel skin
stretched over it, and looking kinder like he didn't cit
elected this hitch Some on our ocos are SO ashamed
OF themselves that when they come in company with
some on our good old Wings, they wlmake up sour
face, and screw up their mouths stlke monkey with
green persmmon in his mouth, and try tolook as tho
itwasn't him, and will say to himsef-well, III be
darn'df don't vote the Wing ticket next November
by all mannero means, and try to put smile on my
face and look like man; yes, and darn me if don
make my big boys vote on the Wing ticket too SO thew
won't look so down in the Jaws for see no use ii
keeping off from what we wish to do, jis because We
think Wen be whisted at time two BY some on the
Locos.
Weli' Mr. Advocate, as don't feel well tonight
as might will jist bid you good evening and write
a little more news next time
= remain your humble servant,
JACK ROBERTSON.
