Sirs: live away Oft yander in Texas, and
daddy sent me here 10 watch The 'nexalion, and
lei him know every thing that was done, and
send 10 him the news about it, before any sent
theirs; and he told me that he knew nothing about
The larnin of the big people at Washington, SO
that needn't send him no writings OF other peo-
pie, but 10 find out what they meant, and to wIite
it 10 him plain myself; and he told me particular
to LEI him know all that Mr. Archer should do,
as much would depend on him, as he was The
first on the Committee, and was the biggest and
most powertues man in the Senate, and coming
from proud Old Virginia, who always put her
best foot foremost, and sent her tallest genuses
there. Now, you see, daddy has his eye upon
mighty pretty league of land, which is dog-cheap
now, and will sell for immense, il 'nexation
comes, and he wants 10 make spec out OF il, and
says he VIII give me quarter section OF II, II
lei him know percisely, and soon, what is done
in the Senate, and, that il blunder about il,
shall never come home again-no however
more-and oh, SrS, you dent know daddy-he'!l
body about this no how at ALL Now, Lori help
me! MIR. Archer has done made report, and
have been studying il Tor FIVE whole days and
nights, and there is SO much larnin in it, that
can't make heads nor tails ot il, no how can fix
il; and can find nobody who can tell Inc what is
The meaning OF ii, and they all tell me 10 see you
about II, as yCt. can look farther into millstoneS
than other people, and that il you can't tell the
meaning OF H. there is no meaning about it.
will point you ont the things which most poster
Inc about il, and ! spect if could be made TO
larn them, they would help me 10 know some
thing about il. Do help Inc out OF my troubles,
that's good man. and God will bless you for il.
Now, Mr.. Archer talks OF "a political STATE
aonShtnS III us primOrdiat condttton.' What
upon the yearth can he mean BY this Nothing
bnI snakes slough their skins in our country. II
he were speaking of man, should suppose he
meant pulling OF dirty shirt, but State has no
shirts as knows on.
Then, he talks about restraint" which is
Submitted To DlsPENsArioN." What does he
mean BY that lst any "REsTRAlNT' al all, il he
can DISPENSE with il when he plcases?
Then, he says, that institutions have no ExEMP-
lion from his Law or DIsPENsATloS,' which would
have meant plainly enough, that they could not
srempt themselves from dispensing with The lars
that made them HSiitutionS-tnal's clear enough
but then he added "of an inferibe risor, IN Ill
Mc posstbhc qualifications II contingency" What
is he driving Il now !? Can notifications be IN
FERTILE. and, il they can, is il any eont'nsfnrg al
all, il it can be mOdifcd just as Mr. Archer
chooses?
Next comes this paragraph, thai, for the life
of me, | cannot make heads nor tails OF. "IHc

Then, what does he mean in speaking Of
