Mr.. VIRGINIAN: The Dimiorats makes n
mighty talk about General Pierce. and say he
was real buster" in the Mexican War, and
that he was a mighty brave man, and did
mighty heap of fighting in that same var
And they make no bones of saying that he is
mighty fond Of "niggers," and of every body
that owns "niggers;" and some of ems sorttr
suspicious he is about to persuade N. Hamp-
shire to let them have neeers out there. One
Teller sed that he know'd it to be fact, and
that Gen. Pierce calculated to get Jonathan
P. Hale or John Van Buren, to oversecr it for
him; being as how he calculates. from the ay
they hates ',iggers.' that they would be death
on 'em. and would irk 'em up to snuff. iflhey
didn't jest walk chalk line. Now you know
the dirnierats talks plaguy sight about grog-
shops, and SIGH like places. specially when
they have drink ahead. and more particularly
them fellers that used to be Wings. tel they
found OUT for surtain they couldn't get any
thing from the Wing party. (bekase they want
fit for nothing ard SO thort their chances
was better with the dimicrats, seeing what
mighty small potatoes will do 'em. Now
hates them kinder feller., that Jest quits the
Wings and sneaks off to the dimcrats. Jest
like mean dog creeps into the kitchen TO lick
dHS SHoItftn ne can run MS ndSiV
nose agin- If they only know'd what folks
thinks and seys ofum.they wouldn't he caught
at it. They looks mighty sheepish any how.
because they sorter spicious what folks &C.
tually do think Of um Well now I've got
clean off the track Of what wanted to Ak YOU

nice 6ghtin. says he. and nice kinder Gen.
for you,that gifts sick at his stomach as as
fight is fxin, an fantes before he looses one
drop Of his claret. Says ], dont-dont talk
so. perhaps he didn't fante at all. and may he he
fit UNI any how. o. says he. but he did fante.
and he did fall sprawln offer his horse. that's
for sertin. and jest ak any man to say he
seed him 6ghtin real surenuf 6ghtin, says
