Mr.. Eddyer: I'm determined to Civ you an
uther heist from the federal sitty. Well, sch times
as they had when Congress busted up you never
did see, reckon. But you know all about that,
and you know, also, that the Wings OF the Senate
refused to pass DR.. Duncans bill for the perven-
ton OF frods in the next election, which shose,
think, purity strate, that they are afeard they
Kant karry the day
Fur Henry Klay,
without pipeaying from Ohio to Kentucky, from
Kentucky to Indiana, and visy versy.
The sitty now looks as though the people had
been swept off pretty much by the kollery; only
Struggling member here and there like the last Of
pea time Senator Allen has had to stay on ac-
count of serten big piles of dokkuments that he
said were wanted among the people of Ohio, and
the way he will show what has been going on In
Kongress. and how the democrats in the House
were flusterated by the wings in the Senate, Will
be kawshin to Otterkrat Kelley, of Kolumbus.
Mr. Weller has kut out for the Virginny Springs,
and they do say that darter of one of the Virgin
ny delegation draws him along over thar like
load-stone, and that nothing less than minister,
and the jining of hands, and pound kake, and sich
like will do any good for the young widower
They say, too, that he has sprung the previous
question first rate, and that the man question will
be put at the White Sulphur, or the Red Sulphur,
or purryventure at the Natural Bridge and karried
unanimously. So mote it be- And as the old
bennydickshin gose,-
awe shall wish 'em much joy,
Every year gal or boy"
But Mr.. Weller has done well; he could MT have
done ,oeller, from the very start. He has KUN out
first rate feller has this same Mr. Weller, and the
people of this district deserve much praise for the
man they have made of him, and he deserves much
of them for the uanner in which he has discharged
his jewty.
| was up at the Presidents garden last Saturday
at sun set to hear the marine band of about twenty
musicians. They have the music there, you know,
through the summer, every Saturday evening, and
at the capitol every Thursday evening, at which
times the citizens gather together and walk about
fairgrounds chatting, and planning, and kontriving,
and enjoying themselves, or trying the hardest TO
do It. But the last gathering was thin-the gals
knowd that the members was all gone, widowers,
bachelors and ALL and that, therefore it was no use
to turn out. The kongregation was nearly all
clerks and little dapper tape sellers. There was
hardly one six foot man on the ground. Its aston
ishing how eating smoked herrngs and stale bread
for supper, with little weak tea, does stunt these
people. They all look thin and pale, and sickly,
especially the women. And the strangest part OF
it is the more they git like skeleton the handsom-
er they think they are; and young woman that
is nothing but skin and bone, exceptin perdigious
big hustle of shucks, is considered aperfect hewty
President Tyler, they say, is hating between
two questions of annexation, first. the annexation
of Texas-second, the annexation of some good
and excellent woman that he has seen somewhere,
and intends going down the kountry arter this
week. In the first place, he doesn't know whether
to call an extra session not, as it would hinder
his plans about the second arrangement; but then,
again, as he wants all the glory of Texas to him
self, he does not know what's best to be done. He
has been mighty busy since Congress adjourned,
turning out and turning in at the custom houses
and post offices of Fillydelphy and New York
The heads of the departments are going in a
lew weeks to rusticate at the Springs on a while
to the Rip Raps, or the White Sulphur, or the
Red Sulphur or Saratoga, or the biggest spring oi
the lot, old Niaggerry. have always thought il
very strange that while the people had to work so
hard their servants should have such fine times.
They want pulling down butonhole or two that's
| certain.
We shall have to leave this place, me and cousin
Pete, afore long. It's so lonesome. 1t looks the
very image of sickIy season. Hoping that the
democracy of Ohio will do their duty to man.
we conclude for the present. Yours sc.
