| Dear Sir After we heard that Merricl
was beaten abost 1900 votes in New Or.
leans-badly beaten IN your Parish, ant
but very little ahead in our own, we were
satisfied that Elgee was elected beyond
a doubt" and acknowledged the coin p
The old Fogies had fine tine Of it for Z
few days. D, H, s, R
and Nc. were never in better spirits
They knew the Know Nothings, stood nc
chance Of electing Merrick, before the
election took place, just Is well as they
did ~os0. My old and kind friend, the
Printer Of the Anti Know Nothing paper,
G. W. r., a. was informed, wanted to
bet, and give 1000 majority, that the boy
was named John, but could &c: no one to
take the bet. So you can readily imagine
what a change came over the spirit OF
their Heavenly dreams, when, day or
two since, it was currently reported, and
generally believed, that the people had
named the dear little boy EdUi~. Edwin
is here, and we have all seen him. We
think him we'll calculated to discharge the
responsible duties imposed upon him by
SAM" We can't boast Of his beauty,
anymore than we could Of" Tom GREEN'S
politicnl honesty. But we did Mt run
Ed'oi~ because Of his good looks, we placed
him on the field in consequence Of his good
legal attainments-his unspotted reputation
a . citizen, and his kind and gentlemarly
demeanor to his fellow men. And further,
he suited Sam better than John, because
John was imported Irish stock aud Sam
will have nothing to do with that sort.
Our Especial committee paper" says
the result of this election is but prelude
to what will take place next November, f"
but you must make allowance, for when
that sentence was penned they knnp that
Eigee was elected by about 5000 votes.
Please ask Tom Green" whether his
prospects are as Aattering as he desires
wonder if he wouldn't like TO be fooled into
the Native American party again Our
platform is as open now, as it was when
he joined before. Don't think we can let |
Thomas in our party or in Cosgress
from the canvass, Thomas, San
don't want your services, and there is not
! corporal's guard outside of Sans control.
You are getting old. and you need all Of
POUR time from this out, to pray that your
political sins may 3 forgiven. Pxnrcx.
