GILEsv1LLE, Jan. IL, 1855.
DEAR Brown Il 'spects ade like to
know my 'pinion of the Kansas trubble.
Wall, I'll tell you. In the fust place the
old man is letle like uncle Gid's old
wheat fan-arter it was all gone but fans
it made too much wind lor' the balance
of the 'Shene. Now if the old man had
cum by my house lde told him lots of
things that wo'd bin useful to him an
in the mornin' Pde gin him shortened
dodger what couldn't bin bette in Old
kentuck-for | tell u our wimen is sum
On dodger maxim. And then l'de sed
to to the Guvener, "Guvener, says |,
''du u no what kinder fellers them ar
over there in the Territory, cos if yu
don't ude better change work with me
an plow corn for me, an I'll jist step
over an set things to rights kinder"
Wal, ii the Guvener had 'sented TO Of
er, I'de jist step'd over to uncle Gid S
and BORED his old regimental coat what
he wore down there i'll the Florida du-
ings, and l'de started right strate along
Tor Kansas, an as sure as I'd cross d
the Missury river I'd jlst STEPPED aside
an I'd PIT on The coat-jist 10 make me
kinder prelite and auicious like. Then
I'd went rite up to Lawrence and took
rooms and I'd lShued my proclamashun
commanding the peple and the varmintS
TO cum rite i'll to here speech. Wal,
when thade al cum I'd STEPPED out, an
I'd looked over The crowd for mlnet
then I'd sed, Ladies and Gentlemen -
then I'D stopped an looked orlul sorry
Then I'd 'menced agln, and I'd told 'em
of oil there sins aud transgresshuns.. I'D
spoke very low at fust, but I'd got lowd-
er and lowder, till hualIy I'd holiared,
and yelled, and jumped, and pitched like
a wild buffalo bull. Wal, Dy this time
thade a thort NE rael sixty power,
an thade looked oriuliy Skcaied. Wal,
when I'd seen UNI skeaied nuH I'd
droped off i. Ieile steem an' 'sumed a
more plaintiff strane, an' dug rlte intu
thare 'fections like craw -tisn In the
mud. Wal, u see the lighting wod bin
over then, fur them ar varlnhIts wod no
more dared to cum over from Missury
than tode wod dared 10 jump III "a snake
hole. But the Gurener lelt tu big kind.
er to cum by, tho Frank and oil his cab
In tho't he Wod, else ,hade gin him
'structions afore he left, as Tyier did
when he sent him to cary that ar letter to
Sally Ann, who was was boss In Mexi.
GO. Now u see foxes thinks that Tyle,
sent him down TO whip Sally Ann any
how but tl.at wornt IL; lie Sent him
with tie le,ter and tie letter told Sally
Ann that ii he dident keep scarce in Tex
as and fork over every ftp he owed the
Yankees that hede send down old Zaci
and Scott with their wild cats and licl
him till hese as smooth as rats tale In
a sope barrel. So u see that althe Guy.
ener had 10 du was To Civ Sally Ann the
letter, and if Sally Anu turned cherry
red to iere fur hum an tell john, which
he did. But the way them ar red skin,
sarved the Gusener wofnt rite, fur hedt
hardly got i'll Mexico when them ar var
minis Ubed him of oil his money ana
hacker and then went of larlin' and lef
him standing in the rode bear-he4ded, in
the otfuiest hot sun in oil creashun.-
When hern it | was 50 mad | hollered
and jumped fur an our then / ktndel
cooled on, but it makes me feel kinder
pepery yet. But l du think the old maj
acted kinder spungy in Kansas by letting
his necessary rite over for them ar var
mints in Missury, so as not to 'promis
the Guvener in the matter. But ges,
Itsa fine thing fur the old man thar tht
iicker gin out at camp at the watel
brushes. or else them varmints wod nip
ped him fur signing that ar paper at Law.
