Ebreaam up in Mexico and coming home,
.hountsihe best chance to get a leuer 10 you
woult be 10 ge, your old friends, Mr. Gales
and Saron.,to send il on that way, and may
be !. ulghi come across you somewhere on The
road SO be you are sull in The land of the
living Your aunt Keziah is in grea, worri
menl sdout you, and is very much frightened
for Iea} some,hn has happened, because we
haven't heard no,hn from you since your last
letter. Try to pacify her, and tell her the
fighting was all over, and no,hin TO do but to
finish up the court martial The last time you

annexin' ul Mr.. Cass comes in President, and
you'll sopn be along But all wont pacity her;
she's as uneasy as fish oul Of water, and says

garillas lor fear they've 60, hold of you, Sol
hope yoa'll wre home soon as possible,

For M part, hope you will hurry along
back as lasl as you can. Our politics is very
much mxed up and in bad way about the
Presidency. Ii would puzzle Philadelphy
lawyer % lell how its comm oul. II was
very un,sky hit when President Polk sen. old
zack Tailor down to Mexico He wasn't the
right mar But, then, 'spose Mr.. Polk had
no idea d wha. sor. Of chap he had got hold
of. IL cai't be helped now, bul its like TO be
the rum 6 our party. The Democratic party
haiut seer "a well day since Taylor first begun
his Pally iIu battles; and now are all shlv-
erin as bad as if we had the fever and agay.-
| don't knJw, after all, but this annexin' Mex
leo will lHn ou, to be an unlucky blow TO the
party; fg what will i. prof' the Democratic
parry, If lsey gain the whole world and lose the
Pfesdem y Ye see, the Wings have put up
| Taylor br President; and il has completely
knockedns all into cooked hat There isn't
one half of US that knows where we stan or,
W hich way We are goin and there isn't par
" fencein the country ,ha, is high enough TO
keep or folks from jumping over. They are
geuing kind OF crazy, and seem 10 feel as il old
Hickory had got back again, and they was all
running 10 Yole for him. The Wings laugh
and poke fun al US, and say they have as good
right TO have Hickory as we Democrats
have. We put up General Cass first, and
though, we should carry il all hollow; for he's
strong man and ,ook good deal of pains TO
make The party like him ali over the country
Aud If The Wings had done as they ought 10,
and pu, up Clay, or any one that they had a
tight 10 put up, we should a carried the day with
OUT any trouble. But The conduct of The Wings
has heen shameful in this business. Instead
Of taking man ina, fairly belonged to em, they
have grabbed hold Of man that got all his pop
ularliy out of our war, and was under the pay
OF our Administration, and. has been made and
bul, up by our party, and the Wings had no
more business with him than they had with the
rnan 10 The moon. But, lor all that, The Wings
had the impudence 10 nominate him. Well.
ihs, rlled our water all up, SO we couldn't see
bottom nowhere. But we sopn found there
was shiliin and whIrln Of currents, and The
wind aud Tie iide was se.lln US on 10 the rocks.
N spne, Of US. We. soon see that old Rough
and Ready, as they cali him. was agolng 10 be
100 much for Cass. But. as we was all making
up our mind that j, was gone goose with US,
Mr.. John Van. Buren of York Siae--he's, a
smar feIler, a sou of President Van Buren, and
a chip of The old block he sings Out, :. Dom
give up The ship yet; il one boss ant enough
10 draw The load hitch on another Well, the
idea seemed 10 take; and they stirred round
aud got up another Convention at Utica, in
York State, TO see who they should pu, pp, and
they all pitched upon President Van Buren,.
Mr. Van Buren paued them on the shoulder,
and told 'em 10 haze good courage and go ahead,
for they was on the right track, but they must
hIich on somebody else besides him for he had
made up his mind four years ago not TO lake
hold again Blu, they stuck 10 him with Tears
in their eyes, and iold him there wasn't anolh-
eoman ~ The country hat could draw like him
along side oil. Cass, and il he sill had any pa
,rioflsm for The party left be musn's say no.
Aad they ~orked upon his feelin. 50 msch
