DowsrsoyILLr, Stare OF MAINE,


gent Joel all well; and l hope these few lines will
find you enjoying the same blessing. I'm glad of
one thing, and that is, that you amt troubled so
much about organs as you was when | went
away There wasn't any organ them only the
Union, and that was a disputed one; SO | had
to send my last despatch to my old friends, Mr.
Gales Il Seaton, and get them to forward it to
you the best way they could. But understand
now that organs is getting to be as plenty as black
berries; and that seems to be lucky about this time,
for, if what Uncle Joshua tells all true it will need
good many Of em to play tunes to suit all parties If
you could manage to have organ for each member of
the Cabinet it would be great help; for then each one
could play his tune, and jarrng; and harmony
is what we need all round Mr. MARCY needs an organ
all to himself to fire off his 44pounders at Austria and
the rest OF Europe to keep matters straight there
And Mr. GUTHRIE I'm sure needs organ all to himself
to manage his New York correspondence And there's
Gineral CUSHING he ought to have nice organ oil to
himself that would play military tunes, that every
body they heard it, would feel as if they
wanted to march. And Gineral DAVIS ought to have
military organ too but say he and Gneral Cushing
might get along very well with organ between 'em,
and that Gneral Davis could play his variations Mr.
Guthrie's organ.
And then the different sections of the party needs
different organs too. believed the same tune
would satisfy the Hards " and the g Sofs" OF New
York and from what Uncle Joshua tells me it's jest So
He says the organ has been pouring delightful strains
of harmony all summer, but the it poured EN- out
the greater the dscord between the Hards and So
till finally it worked 'em to pitch of phrensy, and
he says they now fghtn and pulin caps like mad
That shows clearly to my mind that the different Sec
tions ought to all have their own organs and don't
think there be any peace till they have. And that's
why I'm glad find that organs is growing plenty
But about my tower in Europe I've got good deal to
soy than get into this despatch and some Of
it think would work well into your message to Con-
gress month"; if get time to bring it, or send it
to you in time Ye see, had your commission of
Minister Gineral to 60 on my own hook wherever
pleased and look after matters jest thought best
gin me capital chance to work to advantage And Mr..
Marcys rules too, about dress worked rst-rate for
when thought it best to 60 it little the sly could
Jest put on my drab surtout and broad brm hat and
gaciate round among the waole billing Of EN- and they
wouldn't mistrust who So when found out which
way the cat going to jump and thought it was best
to head EN- and bring 'em pint, had nothing to do
but to pull my commission out Of my pocket and show it
to 'em and that did the business, The fact IS Europes
afraid of Us. think fast getting the upper hand
There amt another nation in oil creation without tbs
Russia that hardly dares to say her SOULS her own for
fear shall be down upon her and take her soul away
from her. And Russia feels little ckish for fear
that when she gets into her hghfautin with Turkey
and the rest of Europe goes to takn Sides shall turn
and lick the whole scrape and em to modern
Rome. / somebody has put out book that proves
clear preachin that the United States is modern
Rome SO when Ginera Gushing said in his speech we
must march, march, march, and do as old Rome did, he
was talking by the book.
About this business in Europe, If there's any thing
to be larnt in diplomatic circles and I've fted the whole
Of em there's be tight scratch oil round before it is
over The truth is Russia is in real arrest after Tur
key bear to get into cornfeld. She clam
bered into the field like great bear as she is jest
for the purpose of eating her way through from one end
to tother. But she intended to do it all in peaceable
friendly way, marching cooy and slowly along, step By
STEP till she got down the lower end of the field and
then she would swallow Constantnople just quickas
cat could lick her ear and poor Turkey would know
what become of her. The Gar intended to do all this in
very friendly quiet way nibbling along at his leisure
and not have any fuss at all about it. But the foolish
Sultan got frightened, and worked himself into tam
trum and declared war; and told Mr. Bear TO clear out
of his cornfed in fifteen days he'd set the dogs arter
him. Well, that made the Gar mad and now he says
clear the track, for he's going down to Constannople
whether no. let who win stand in the way and there
shant be Turks head left any where, clear from Dan
to Beershsba that is if the other nations will jest form
ring and fair play and not interfere But the Car
is good deal afraid England and France will be for hav
ing finger in the pie so he has agreed with Austria
and Prussia who his side, to keep quiet and de-
clare themselves neutral and stir inch long
England and France viii keep quiet. But if they begin
to NEEDLE, then all hands fall to- and have regular
scratch and pulling caps oil round.
Well, now, England and France don't mean to keep
quiet They watching Russia Jest ever
cat watched mouse and before Russia gets half way
down to Constantnople there'n be terrible fuss. The
French will crow and the British lion will grow
and shake his manc and if the Russian bear don't get
licked scared and turn tail and rum but holds
and eats up end Of Turkey then England and France
will clap their heads together and eat up tother end
jest to keep it from spiing
Now when all this rumpus gets its highest pitch in
Europe, and all the nations get at pe NELL t be jest
the time for to strike and go to annexin and carry
out our manifest destiny in o handsome What's
the Of nibbing about among smalfry home
and annexn little patches here and there, SIGH Cuba
and little slices off of Mexico when might jest as well
branch out and do somethin splenddsomethn that old
Rome couldn't hold candle to- somethn that Gneral
Gushing himself could say quite cup to the occa-
sion ~ Who wants to wait for manifest destiny till
onehaf the present generation has died of say
nows the time; must strike when the irons hot SO,
Wnen the Car and all his troops away down south
peppern Turkey, let whip round into the Baltic and
annex 81 Petersburgh and put navy and army
ihere that VIII command all Northern Europe BY that
time England and France viii get quarrelliDg with
eacn otner TO see which shall have Constanuople and
that will be the time for us to be down upon them like
