am glttp along in years and my hand is little stiff
bot heart and upper lip is sitter, and my denac-
Iacy isthe stiest Of all; and if dontrws long
letters nor many Of them, will 'tfyto put what
N have jest got the news Fillmore and
another Teller has been nominated. by. the Know
nuthin' Cchxenshun, ut Phladelphy. .a Orat that
name OF Know.nuthin they fooled me ouct, of
which will tell you byeulby-thats what makes
me madden at them.) l say "another feller," cause
why, we don't know yet what his name is Bob
Mullins, who used to be Dimicrat, but who is now
big fool Of a Know; nuthin', swears it is Andrew
Jackson Jr., chip of the Old Hickry block Bob
says the Dmicrats are tryin' to annex "Donelson"
to it, jest to fool the people and MAKE them b'lieve
ne is no akin to Old Hickry. He szys that Holden
& Wilson and few others are prohisin' the furrin-
ers that if they will stick up to tb Dimicratc party
for while they shall have king here rule over
them before long, "6ut, says Bob, az be - if
they don't have sum fun yit before. they git king"
Who would have thought that even Bob Mullins
would have been SO darned mean ?-and he is called
the mcanest man west of sunrise. - r..r, ~. 80. ~
Joe Smithers (BPs brother) says the name is
Andrew jackson Donelson, but that there is not
much of the Donelson about him-he is mostly An
drew jackson. Joe used to be Wing. and nobody
could cuss Gincral jackson harder than he could
but now he wants to pin the Dmicratic sperit Of
that great old man to the little puny sickly weak
body of Know nuthinisln, to hold it up for it can't
stand alone and never WILL I tell you what, Mr..
Printers if the old hero could Jest git one hand out
of the grave, "by the Eternal" he would scratch
the eyes out of Doneson f that be his name) fust,
and then he would rake the hipercritical counten-
ances from his old revilers and sanderers that are
now tryin to use his name for their own base pur-
poses! l hope that nobody but Joe Smithers is
mean enuf to attempt this game. 1fany body about
Rolly is mind to put himself in the same category
with Joe, jest tell him that say he is no better than
oe and that Joe was whipped onct for stealin' ter
hacker from a niger.
Ned Davoit, our young lawyer here who thinks
he is nifty smart and has rival in his opinion says
the name is Andrew jackson Donelson, and that he
is nefew of and blood rclashun to the old Ginera.
can't for the life of me, git the same tale out of
right b'lieve they have all got in SIGH habit of
swcarn that they can't helpit no matter what it is
they swearin' to-
intended to tell you about the internal imposi-
shun practiccd upon me to git me to ine the Know
nuthins; but my hand is giitin' cramped, and must
about il, and the more think about it, the madden
git don't like cussin' no way, but I'll be darned
If don't blieve TN excusable for cussin' the mean
sneaks that lied me into the consarn. But I'll tell
you all about it in my next-I can't do it now.
So no nvre at present. but remain yourn till deth.
