before General Taylor gives botn on US good

for, the election thought none but Democrats
loved the spoil.; but fad human naiur is A'i-
man nattir, and that we Wings, being more pa
tr;o,ic than the Democrats, are pretty cpasideF-
able more anxious to sarse the public than any
body else. My capacity is large, and so Is

Having sold out most all Of my clocks, got my
certificates Of recommendation for office, ana
pretty considerable number for you 100, must
rest spell; and as it is showing fast and iurI US,
will give you piece of my mind ABOUT inc
Presidents Message and his Treasury score
lary, that man Walker. The election IS over;
we beat The Democrats; we can now AFFORD 10
be candid and hcce3t for spell; and Il amt
worth while 10 abuse Jimmy Polk more Than IS
proper. His Message sent in TO Congress last
December is an able AID everlasting Message,
and no mistake; no, none in the least and you
cant deny It privately 10 me, no way you can
fix it, Oar man, Billy Riyes, called Polk
duck River Colonel and said he didEt know
him; bu. Poserily will know hlul better than
Bill, Riyes or NE either. When Polk comes
to give view Of his Admins ration, 10 argue
in favor OF the pre- ,cnt rarlh, and he sub irca-
sury aad other measures, he is %" rln but
when he takes up tha. Veto question, he says
every thing so clever so clear aud strons, tnat
he has 1uored all on ns, kc 40 many ten pms
Ills Veto views took Us b. surprise, aud used us
IN IN Iess than no time. Daniel Webster, nor
Harry Clay, nor Major Bliss, nor Taylor mel
Their; no, nor all natur, cant relue The Veto ar
gumept of that everlasting Polk. Them are
nv sentiments: and SEQ no Wings no where,
except few green ones, that hold the contrary
10 NINE. uf course we don't tell the Democrats
that Folks Message is powerful, as we are too
proud for that; and il is agln orr rules and po-
IlCN ever pIIIsC iiIlbS uChC - suit -. .
Democrat We Wings, you know, say as little
bou. the Message as possible before the public,
and was fearful you would take it into your
he ID T. write some articles agln The Message.
But see you dropped il lihc hot potato
That's right. You published the Message, aud
spoke Of II as "a lectue upon The ereciiencies Of
LDc fo.eism." This short notice will do. Most
all of our party say the Message is "intcrmn-
abie"-'u IS loo long,. and the like Of that, and
Tins is always the beslWay, when we are relu,ed
or knocked into cooked hat. guess the Wings
will never forgive Polk for that Message, par
tcul-rly the Veto part, when is by far tie
hardest eui he gives the Wings and General
Ia, Tor to c,aU al their leisure
see you have been kicking up dust about
Walkers report, and trying 10 pick holes
fear you will have 10 rise eele before day il
on expect to do much in tina, business Better
wait SPELL and lei General Taylor Secretary
ans wer Walker. By that time the Democrats
will probably forge. our predictions. You kno7
we all said the country would be ruined b. the
Tariff Of 1916; that the factories would be
closed, and The operatives dismiss ID from work;
