June 23. 1886.
Ny dear Bal Broton-I take my pen in
hand to inform you that l am well. and hope
these few lines may find you enjoying the
same great blessing.
am full of apprehensions for our party.
| am afeared that Buck amt cute enough
wish, my dear Bill Browa. that he was as
foxy as you are. You noticed that he said
to the Keystone club. that he heartily ap
proved all the platform" Now what neces-
sity was there for this? There are a few
plsnks in platform that little as posi-
BILE should be said about them IN the North.
Those tillbuster and pro- slavery resolves were
for the slavery extensionists, and not .or the
North; and Buck don show any gumption in
proclaming TO the North in hot haste. when
there was necessity for it, that be approves
them heartily One after another Is drop
ping off from our party. Buck has not the
craft in elections that our beloved Joe has.
Bill don't YOU know what time we had In
forty We could not get up the excitement.
Van Buren would rhyme with nothing. and
Tip and Ty would rhvme with everything in
Gods creation. l fear it will be jest So This
year Buchanan will net rhyme with any
thing but Shannon, and that won't do in the
Free States | have tried it. and count my
make anything but the following. which Mrs.
Pringle says will not do at all. want your
opinion on its merits:
Hurrah for old Jim BIchahanH
We viii aid our faithful Shannon
To crush out AbolitioA--free SOIL
And every thing that axes broil.
Freedom of speech, we understand
Isn't for the abolition band,@
But for the true d, mocracy,
Who il not let the nigger 60 free.
Iaalienable rights we may maintain,
And keep the darkey in his chain,
For Jefferson meant osly whites
Who possessed nalienabe rights.
There, if that won't do TO sing at our meet
ings, there can't be anything got up that will
do, for | have tried it every way, md it is the
best that can be did.
The boys in the streets begin TO holler for
Fremont. Their parents ort to keep them at
home. and not let them disturb honest peo-
pie, The women, toe, are getting up flags
for the vile aboitionists They ort to be in
better business. Dear Bill disguise it as we
may, the signs Of the times are calculated to
hurt an old liners feelings. Did you notice
Senator Hamlin's explanation why he could
not act with the party any longer? Why he
talks about right and wrong, conscience, &c,
liss like an aboltionist. What right has a
Simon Pure dimocrat to talk of conscience
jist though that had any thing to do with
our party. Every true dimtrIat will stand
right up TO the party and platform, without
inquiring of conscience. My dear Brown.
religion is doing our party vast sight of
damage. If you one of our party tending
all he religious meetings in the neigh hborhood
you may suspicion his dimocracy; | tell you
he. is rotten at heart, for no true dimocrat ever
took religion material. To me sam singing
dimocrat is very suspicious indeed, Now such
men as Tom Walpole, Dick Slater and d. D.
Jones are material dimoerats, and may be trust
ed anywhere. When one begins to talk Of
conscience, &c, better turn him out of the
party.
Yours, in trouble for the party,
PETER PRINGLE, Esq.
