LETTER FROM BARNEY oTooIB, Esq.
SINArE CnAMRER. Anril IL, ISIS.

y
SIxATE CHAMBER, April IL, 1853.
I lIsthUr MOore:-rve not been writin yez for
some time be raison nv the throubles an excite
ments we've had in Congress wild thryin to make
! Kansas a slave State; an waitin to see how
things 'ud turn up. 0chl but me hearts gray
wild Misther Bigler an the Sinate the United
States DivIl a word NV lie I'm tellin yez
whin say iloquence has had its day in that an
nerable body. Misthur Sinathur Bger seq he's
! done wild tits no use thTyin-that little g0Ss-
o0n Douglas gets up wild his blarnOy an both
Grafton, and an a1neSt dimncrat is like Samson
| wild his head shaved. Bedad, seZ he; the CALLER
lies 'ud rather listen to that hop o. my thumb,
| Hale av New Hampshire, than to the iloquence
an the arguments av Sinathur Hammond an
meself an the likes. Thrue as We live sez he,
! the DemOsthenes an the Ciceros, the WEBB
Sthers an the Calhouns an the Biglers an the
Surgeons are all out av date. If the President,
seq he, could spare me, I'd resign this blissed
mint, an, seq he, if it wasn't that we got our
| pay in advance, I'd be out av it anyhow. An
now, Misthnr Moore, don't we see the great adj
vantage av payin the Congressman in advance
instead av be the day. But for that we might
ave lost the distinguished Sinathur from Penn
sylvany.
Och! but the Presidents been bothered, body
and sowl; an its me firm belaif, that ifhc hadn't
the consultation av tin horses, he 'udn't been to
the fore this day. Wild the Kansas Bill and
the Army bill, an wild the diVilment nv the fire
alters, an the desartion an threachery av
his frinds, Douglas an Forney, an Montgom-
cry an the likes, he hasn't had aiven time for
his devotions-an' ounly got to Mass wanst dur
in Lint.
Thin there's that spalpeen, Brigham Young,
wild more wives than the Turkish Ambassydoor,
or than any annest man has u call for, wild con-
cubines aiqual to ould King Solomon hinsalf-
Och but its thryin ON the Presidents narves
so it is.
The last levee was at, got the ould gintle-
| man in corner, out nv the way av the girls an
the widdys, an he jist tould me how he'd been
vexed an bothered wild that diViliSh KANSAS
An now, SEE he, Misthur O'Toole, it duz me
heart good to talk wild an annest man; an / tell
ye now, condintially, seq he, that to the Divil
pitch KanSas-it's been bad move all out; but,
seq he, be the howly poker Chat wasn't jist his
word, but there's little differ in the sinse it,
I'll make the Ostind Manifesto the brightest
glory nv the age, an if don't astonish the Free
Sellers an the Republicans an the Abolition
ers it's because, seq he, / havn't dhroop nv
dimicratic blood in my wins. I'll put William
the Conqueror an PiZarro, an Gen. Walker an
Captain Kid, orr amy ay them Fillibustherers that
liver stole kingdom, or robbed church or a
hen-roost in the shade intirely, name, seq he,
to re-annex Cuba to the area av traadom. Thin
he wint on an tould me that Attorney GineTa!
Black had been raadIn up the laws nv nations
more nor tin days back, an SEE he, the clarks av
the threasury have been huntin up the ould nc
count books an that ould Spanish Don owes us
more nor threa times the value nv Cuba; an
conSidherin the pressure av the times and the
state av the threasury, we'll jist take the Island
III part pay. Thin, sez the President, if the ould
SpRniurd don't hand it to US, I'll come
do n on him worse Msthur Polk did on
Mexico: Och but luked Mt the ould gintle-
| man wild surprise. He put me in mind nv Gin
eral Washington, GinerGl Jackson an Gineral
Pierce. Oh bnt it 'ud have done ye good to
see his eyes fash when he was sayin it.
Thin, seq he Nisthur O'Toole Misthur At
torney Ginera Black is maxim out message
on the Cuba matthcr, shown clean an clear,
that it nathGraly Belongs to this great and glo-
riouS country av ours be raisin av our free in
stitutions. Be the same token, SEE he, thin
| Northern dimocrats pretcndin to have conscien-
ces against Kansas 'ull all go for the reduction
nv the price av molasses. Begorra, SEE he, Mis-
thur Black tells me I'm sure av thin.
Thin, SEE he, contidentialiy, (and don't ye
Scripther, an he SEE the ould story nv Ahab an
Naboth's vineyard is all antiquated, an has Moth
in at all at all to do wild the law nv nations now;
an thin, sez he, he jiSt rounded aft the whole
| thing be sayin what has Misthur Buchanan done
worthy av death or bonds. But | must stop for
the priSint. Pm lukin livery mint for the Cuba
message.
If We publish this letthur, ye must put "eon-
lfdcntiop at the head av it.
