oo.tt care iof that, saws lie, zine
Nerad Is smarter papeE i, can tell two
lies to the Uniu's one, week in and week
"at and put string in the tail Of every
ohe OF 'em"
"We'i, ! amt agolng to bragg says
"abonl the Unions talents for ha,chln llbs
Tut there's ore thing you ougE, to To-
member, the Heraicfs TRUTHS are a!rays
ararcring. whilst the Unions Gbs are aIways
areA stood TO; and you know according To
the old slyin, which Is considered worth
the most u
think rather got ahead OF Bill i.
the argument here for he coUian't answer
sne a werl And now nv dear Mr..
Richie, you see what SOFT Of pickle we
arc in, and hope yoa will spunk up and
put your best foot forward; go a, the Ad-
milnslration in arrest; take hold Penn
like catamount, and give 'em ,ich a
clawing that they'll be glad to clear out
IN hurry, and LET our party come In and
have the rights again that have belonged
10 lis this twenty years. Now, don't
want to find fault or complain, you know
That amt my nater.-Bnt / must say |
think you have been quite too tame
bong hack, and TOO meal y-mouthed, as if
yon were afraid to speak out your mind.
The fact is, you must 80 at Gineral Tay-
ior in real arrest. He's the head of the
Administration, and you know if we can
Cut the head off the crea!ur's dead. But
you must give harder blows than any YOU
have used yet. don't deny but what
you have used some considerable smart
words towards him; | don't deny that
you've called him 'sdolt' and a "cheatn
and "a tool,' and "a mere cyphet,' and
"a disgrace to the countly,' and can i'm
becile, ignorant tyrant;" and ga whitened
sepulchre," and man who SIS disgracing
himself,' and "a fraction ola man." and
San eighth palt of the Cabinet,' and 'lhe
fly upon coach Wheel and ga butch
er,' and ga Nero" and "a Moloch," and
"a Cyclops,' and SIGH like. But all This
don't amount to nothin. It's only Just
nudgIn man in the ribs with your elbow
when You ought to up fist and knock
him head over heels. Ityou really mean
to do any thing, it wont do to stand min
can words in this sort kind oil Way. You
must put your blows on with a sledge
hammer. Instead OF calling him a dol,
YOU should call him natural born fool.
Instead Of allowing him to BE- an eighth
part Of man, you should swear right up
and down THAT Is if yon ever do swear)
that there isn't q patticle of the hair or
- n 81
'fat kind OF way, and Our party would
begin to take courage, and feel as if there
was some hopes fer hem yet.
There's one thi;g that's very impor-
tah', and | see YOU feel very ANXIOUS
about it; and that is that we should &c,
Glnera Taylor ow somehow o, oher on
the Nilmot Prorso. It's shame and
disgrace, and crime worse than high
treason that lie keeps his mouth shet on
that subject. | hope you viii be able to
contrlNe sone way or other to &c, it out
OF him; but | know i. is a difficult mat
ter. Cousin Nabby used to have way
Of getting secrets out Of folks when they
were asleep, about their lovers and go en-.
believe she used 10 do ii by stealing in
to the room quietly whore hey was a
sleep, and holding a looking glass over
their face, and whispering TO 'em, and
they would answer any question she as =
ked 'em. Now, if you could Catch old
6ineFal Taylor asleep somewhere, or if
YOU could get one OF the servants Of the
White House 10 catch him asleep some
lime, and hold looking glass over his
face, and whisper to him and ask him
whether he is for or agin the Wilmot
Proviso, probably the secret would be
out, and onr party would be safe. 1t
makes not pins difference which side
he comes on! on; We can fight him as
well one way as t,ther The Only thug
is to set him out. Ne ara ready TO head
INN on both tacks. If be comes out for
the provlso, we can run him down with
Glneral Cass; and if he comes out agin the
provlso, we can run him down with Col F..
Benton. But if he don't come out at all
Pm afraid we can't run him down with
nobody.
Now. do try md do your best to get
him out on the proyiso. for you see how
important it is.
So l remain your patient but rather
hungry friend.
MAJOR JACK DowNIya.
