Squire Gould on Squire El,rel, Gents:-Deer
sur:-Agin arter lapse of intervales | take
my pen in hand an am sot daown to reneu thro'
the sarculatin' megeaum of the Transcript
(my chosen origin) communion with my nume-
rous friends and the public generally.
Say to them friends and to that ere public
that eff there has bin wide gap in that ere
sweet communion, it hain't bin coz l liked fm
wus, but orfis more. Day in and day a5uty
week after week an month AFTER month has all
the energies of my nature bin worked like q
Texas niger to bring about this grand desider-
alum of eventooalities. Eff St. Paul fit with
wild beasts at Effingham, so have fit with
wild cats, mormons, and federalists in Horribly.
Under the broad canerpy of MerUdum sun at
the arlyest blush of Orroary to the going daOwD
of the same, and even to the burnin, of mid
night virgins-worllin', writin', swearin', lynn
an all for an orfs that / didn't gitl 0, temyns,
maeabeebus, pOllycogus JerTychOr Sich IS
fame! Why eff I'd bin an oneddicated lighter
ate aberlishun inemy of aour blessed perladi-
ums, couldn't apparently bin treated wus.
But | have larnt lesson. All, eff I'd studi
cd my bible half as well as | did the Argus, /
shouldn't have bin TUX in as | hav. Since I've
gin up all hope, perlitikally, I've bin readin the
scripters in coaree, an find a good deal of good
advice in it. To wit, viz: that ere passidge
which warns not to trust in princes feathers
Eff I'd only known it few months ago, it would
have saved good deal of wear an tear-to say
nothing of better than nine dollars that I'm
aout Of pocket. | shant lay any thing up agin
General Pearce coz think he's been bamboo
zled, an bin kept from KNOWN my desartS as
he orter. But he's mist it most orful In leav-
in me aout he's deprived the country Of a faith
fdl servant and hisself of about the aliGredes-
cheese that was ever got up in Oxford county.
1t was made in half bushel hoop an was near
" all new milk, and had tansy border round
it, and ever so many stars encarclin aOur State
motter, Ipsy Dicksey*-all worked aout in
green sage. That ere cheese was to hav ben
gin to the President sort of pennytoken Of my
admiration and distinguished consideration
naow afore he should hav a bit ont Id see him
in-iellerdelfy fust! Chop me up for sarsen-
gers eff wouldn't l don't know what | shall
DO with the cheese-whether | shall keep it for
the kitte-show or send it on the kristial fare at
New York
I'm about discouraged, nothing seems 10 go
right with me- l jined that kuba concern,
what did l cit by that? Why, got place in
a Spanish dungen wher was nearly eaten alive
by Heas! When the general government offer
ed n reward for niggerS, an arler . deal Of ;rOu-
bic got one, did git the reward? No, the
ongrateful varrnint gin me the slip Al naow
arter eenjest spill myself in pcrItizal saryice
where am |? Is my nose, IS the nose Of any Of
the Spike family whatsoever or whOn5oeyer in
the public CRIB. mol no! Instead Of reapin'
the reward of my public sarvices I'm reapn
Seth Pea-bOdy's rye at forean-six day, An the
loaves and fishes I've seen in this rye an ingun,
an pollock that Seth's hired gal brings aout at
Il o'clock. Here's wretched comminterry mp
on ongrateful republicks. When looks al these
thines-when I see my modest merit overlook
ed, an talents such as mine waStin themselves
In rye-held, at fore-an-siX day, | treables
for the perpitooity of aOur free iustcrtOOshuns-
I'm nyther profit, nor a son Of q profit, nyther
dus it require spirit Of profysy to see that
them instertOoshuns IS standing on Slippery
places an that aour holt upon the great Pcria-
dyum OF wheunan rites isn't much more sartin
than the holt Of a creased pigs tall When We
see niggers in aOur rail cars, and even in aout,
meetihhouSes, and general subvarsion Of AT
the great principles fit for in the Mexican an
Maderwasky wars-theys perhaps begin to git
tIitiI EYES OPEN emu 10 STE llldt al DIOb
abaOut by not gittiu' the rite men into Ortis.
Prehaps the govrnment thinks that The conn.,
ty Of Oxford is satisfied with the apartments.
Wal, perhaps it ar. But jist let 'um declare
war agin kuby, Kannerly, or kallertorny and
send here arter recruits, aud they'd ind them a.
Pintments an the Ticker law together has made
patriotism a scarce article IN these parts
HaOwsOmcver its never too late to 30 good
perhaps ef | was apintcd naow to some snug
Pace-perhaps, say, | might look at the
whole subject in a different pint of view
There's no KNOWN i shouldn't woudcr might.
Seth wants to know haOw ahaout seellin' the
rale road to the british. He owns shaeF-
Seth duz-an he SAYS haow eff It's paid in brit
fish goold he shouldn't dare to touch it, coz
they have oilers bin trying to sarcumvent US by
means ont, and for his part he's not to coin to
be eatched with it. But arter all his talk,
hain't any doubt that eff the old harry wanted
him an would bait his trap with a suryin-he'd
ketch the old teller before bed time. Why, sill
yer his picter, he's workin' me eenjest to death
at fore-an-six day, an half starvin me at that.
L should like tO--. But I'm gittln'
ried an shall git to be parsonal bumby, so III
haul up till next time. Diskonsortly Yours.
