MISTER EDITERs: Sence writin to you on the
twelfth of this munth, hev red the Letter OF
Mister Dugas to them Chickgago preachers as
sined pertition agin the Nebrasky.- And amt
it bitter, say? / swow, wuldnt be one OF
them preachin fellers out there for pint OF the
best hard cider that the wings and burners
all of um drunk durin the excitin times OF
old Tippecanoe. But he gins it to um jest
right And niy opinion is, that, eff the preachers
OF the United States are as smart as they IKE
to have US sinners believe they are, they will
git out of the company of the burners jest as
quick as they ken. / should think thay would
begin to sorror over their partnership, and
creep out Nv il, cause they must know that
they'll be judged by the company they keep, as
Aristotle of old used to tell um.
Its nothin new, down in these ere parts, to
see preachers and enemies Of their country
burnin patriots in efiergy. Sum NV um hev
been doin it ever sens the country wus tust
envaded by the red-cotes in the days Nv the
revolution war; They was tories then, these
petitioner preachers and burners. Thay burnt
blew-lites and burnt up men in efergy when
the last war wus on us with Ingand. They
did the same sort Of thing when the eompro-
mise of Missouri State wus past thurty years
ago. and the Lord only knows when thay are
again to stop; for they keep it up yit and will
alters do so caus they aint what thay prefers
to be, the preachers aint. They don't render
unter Cesar the things what belong to him, as
Moses sed when he shot the crow and Civ it to
the King ofEagypt.
/ tell you, mister editors, there is sum men
that don't like nothin that's dun. Thay are jest
like old Domany Miximselfup, that Ispoke of
afore in my fnst letter. He is one of them
preachers that's got with the burners. He gifts
hisself riled up about anything that's agoin, it
don't make much difference what it is, from
Presidents message down to fight with his
rusters, and then all creation can't stop him.
He goes his deth on anything he gifts dander
riz about, and then he raves and tares and sez
he is speakin for the Almighty. Jest as eff
he had any rite to talk for his Master.
And so it alters is with the abolishion ag-
gittaters. Howsoever the case may be, they 60
it blind for opposishion sake, whether they know
enything about the subjeck or not. Its all one
to them. They must git egsited about sumthin
or other, so they oilers take the dark question
of niggerism to egsplode thurselves with.
/ hev Jest seen that sum of the wings and
burners hev had an anti-Nebraska getherin
sumwhere in JaSsey. " How is the mighty
falin," at Nebbuchenezer sed when he was
turned out to grass. Who would a thought
that thare was enuff Of toryism and burnerism
amung the desendents of the old revolutionary
Jarsey Blues, to git up sch mean affair? And
then thay hung Mister Douglas in effergy.
Abominaton take sch American sitisens as
they arr. They don't disarve the name. Thay
arr like pirates, sailin under false colors.
They arr "wulyes in sleeps close" as histry
sez Thay hev lost the fire Nv liberty that wons
burnt in the busums of THAR noble ancisters
and have digenerated in the most melancholy
manner to relate.
And as I'm jest agoin to close up this here
Letter tew yew, I'll ony say as how don't wish
to hear of eny more prt acher and burner op
erashuns about the Newbrasky bisness for its
tew shameful for to think nv, in conneckshun
with men perfessing the pure re igin of the
Bibe Let the. preachers leave pollitcks to
men of bisness; they've got nothin to do with
the matter. Thay should take pattern after
the meek SAVIOUR of the world, who never got
excited about the government of man hur be-
low, but left such things to the rulers. thare
fore hope that the preachers will git hartily
ASHAMED of their conneckshun with the grog-
drinkin, lasy, roaGn, anti-Amirican. hearted
burners, and dissolve partnuship at wunst
No more this time, and | still remain, your
warm friend,
NATHANIEL PEACHBLossUM.
P. ST. tell you the people are cummin to
thare sinsis down here, and 'bigen to think that
Nebrasky aint so very bad as the preachers
and burners said, arter all their fuss, a preach
in and burnin. N. ?.
