Ypsilanti sentinel. [volume] (Ypsilanti, Washtenaw Co., Mich.) 1843-1900, 1844-08-15

thunderin big comet with b fiery tail, and
ITS jest gwine to serve the democratic
party like taller candle does a skeeter
hawk. when he dabs into The blaze like
tarnal fool without KNOWN what he's a.
bout-.it'il swiDge 'em into perfect crack
lin. The people of this country has got
too much sense to give this glorious Un-
lou away for Texas-and they're not
soon gwine to forget nor forgive the men
that has no more patriotism in 'em than
TO want us to wash out the cementing
blood of our fathers with the blood of our
brothers in civil war.
There's one thing certain. they can't
come no SIGH game over us wire-grass
boys. The price Of cotton is low enough
now in Georgia, and we've got no notion
of bein taxed and drafted to keep up
war with Mexico or any body else, jest to
make the SPECTATORS titles TO their Tex
as lands good, so that more of it may be
sold and planted, and more cotton be made
to make the price still lower. We haint
got no objection to the annexation of Tex
as, when il can be done honorably and
fairly, if we can be satisfied that it would
be better for both countries, but we've got
no notion of this way of "marryin in haste
and repentin at LEISURE" It's no plea
yune speculation--there's good many
afercap, in the bisness, and we'd like to
"see about it" little before we 60 into it
too deep. But what makes me madden
than anything else is, TO see these great
Lockyfokypokys tryin TO skeer the coun-
try into the mea sures. Drat Their infer
nal picters, do they spose we're afraid of
Great Britain or Gen. Bumsqua,tle of
South Carolina, or the free negroes, or
any body else ? Not by jug full-Tex-
as is close to us-she is kin to US in her
government and her people, and we wish
her well; but if her citizens is got no
more of our spunk in 'em than to 60 and
be subjects of British Queen, why, drat
Their mean skins, let 'em 60 /; they amt fit
TO be Americans. But if they stand up
TO Their rack agin Mexico as they have
done ard ought to do, and wait till things
can be done decently, why, then we will
do the clean thing by 'em, and let Texas
into the union, if we can agree, or treat
her sister republic, if we can't
Whatever we do we don't ak no favors
of nobody. and if England goes 10 NEEDLE
10 our family affairs. or tries to git any
power over Texas that she haint any bis
ness to have, we'll mighty soon show her
whose bee-gum she's foolin with. And
as for General Bumsquattle, don't re-
gard him no more'n l would seed-tick
in water-million patch. 1.-The could get
all his notification heroes together, he
mought make terrible racket with his
drummin and fifin, like they did tother
time when they was gwine to tear up
heaven and vearth bout the tariff, and
skeered so many old wimmin in Charles
ton into the highstorics; but if he does 20
TO kickin up any rumpus, III order out
Pinevile Battalion with double-barrelled
shot guns and duck sho, calridg es, and if
| come across his three thousand men
,cith arms in Mer hands I'll make 'em
drap 'em monstrous quick and cut for
Texas like rabbits from woods afire.
Just let General Bumsquattle try to bust
up this union if he thinks best that's all
Eve got to say to him. But I'm wastin
too much time with SIGH small potaters.
Wire all straite as coon's leg down
here. The boys is all hurrah for Mr. Clay
and sense they've found out Polk is 10 be
the lokyfoky candidate they've tuck SIGH a
dislike to the yarb that they wont let a
stalk of it grow on their plantations. for
fear people mought think they was Polk
men. Old Nippers was bout the only To-
kyfoky IN the settlement. He's been
CROWN about Van Buren, and Free Trade
like house-a6re till last Monday, when
he first heard ofthe nomination. "Polk,
Polk" ses he, "who's Polk p Some
one Of the boys told him he was the chap
whot Jimmy Jones of Tennessee beat so
bad for Governor last year. Old Nip
pers haint opened his head bout politics
ever sense. If Polk dosen't flourish no
better any where else in Georgia than it
does down here, it wont take many tigers
20 count the berries next fall. We're all
comm to your big Convention---I never
did see sich a stir every one feels as if
the destiny of the country was at stake
this time even the wimmIn's got their
dander up sense they heard bout old
Bumsquattle's gwine to bust up the union.
You may Jest lay of a ten acre LOT to hold
the PinesvilIe delegation when we git to
Madison. No more from your
Friend. till death,
JOS. JONES.
P. 81 seed in your paper tother day
whar Pardon Jones ses if III come out
and use my influence ia favor of the an
nexation ofTexas, he'll give me an office
SIGH as Secretary of State, Postmaster or
something. Now, wish you would jest
tell Pardon Jones that amt no lokyfoky
to be bought up with an office, or ! could
sold out to the administration long ago.
John Jones, what edits the Madisonian,
