wurk to keap things strait up here in these
diggins. sum Nv the demokrats are git
TN so weak in the back tina begin to look
blue IN spots, and kno what follers stitch
slmptums-Black republicanism. Tia sal
tina don't like the ideer Of raisin sallerries
of ofisers-that thur taxes is alrcdly two
hi and that that will maik EN- still hier--that
dollars day is moar nor emmy laborin
man kin maik let him wurk evur SO hard,
and that thar is plenty of good men tn be
found who will surye thur country fur the
present sallerries--that if members of the
Legislator and Judges cannot liv on thur
pay it only pruves them tn be extravagant
and two fond of hi Twin, that if tina woud
liv as plane as tina du tina coud saiv num-
ey. and what better, tha ak, is tina than us;
Is the survent abuv the master. konfess
that it puzzles me tn ans,lr thees notify
questions; wish u would Civ me a few i
deers on this pint. kno u is rite, but n
see amt smart like is and kant satisfy
en-. and I'm gittin awful skeered fur feer
we shall luse thur votes; in that kase shall
sware at EN-. and call EN- id Ouch
Deant think it would hey bin better if u
had not taken that persishion. U coud
hav dun that thing artcr yore elccshion and
arter it wus dun tina woud mabee have
cusscd snm about it, but woud have for
gotin it bcfoar anuther clccshion, and if
tina did mt we coud hay fixed em easier
by tellin EN- that it wus demokralc mes
ure, and that if tina SADIE mulch about it ii
would injure the party. q kno that when
u put the yoalk ON yung oxens tina jump
round spry fur while, but tina sumo gifts
used tn ii and neyur seems tn mind it arter
that. 1t is the saim way with folks. If
thur tackses wusn't baf as hi as tia is tina
would growl and houl Just as loud as tina
now du, and If tina was twice as hi thu wcu.l
not maik emmy moar noise about it. /
cant help but kinder think like, tho j
shouldn't sa it, prchaps, tn man of ysre
exaulted Manifestations, that hay bin a
little two kandid in this pertieulerr If u
tell the people rite plump out that a is go
in tn maik liners of wood and drawers OF
water of EN-, tina will not likely Civ the
chance; but the best wa tn accomplish that
thing is tutsll um that tha is the suvreigns
and is theer survent, and when tina plais
u in powur kin du it jist as eesy and ak
EN- no odds Furst git thur koniidence by
ticklin thur fanceys, or fattcrin OF 'em,
and then kin du as u pleese. But I'm
awful fraid yuve put yorc foot in it; tho
wun of the kick doun tn Plymouth wus up
here Sunda AMI he told me tina wus not
the leest dangecr--that would be elected
by at leest 5 hundred aj..-that u woud
Kit almost unanimas roat in S.arke on
account of the incomiums "a hav best ode on
cm, and that yore majority in Marshall, ar
ter writin and film that are affidavit last
week, that l. onest. imparshial men coud
not be found in the county. coud not be
less nor hundred. This sorter kumfurt-
ed me sum, at the time, but I've bin think
in on it since and kinder have sum mis-
givings like that he wus only tryin tn stuff
me and keep me from despondin, KNOWN
how mulch like sheap j is tn just give
rite up and hollcr huff when see no hoap
Of whippin; howsumevur, mebbec mi de-
spondency arises from the fack that mi sup
phi Of speercts is gittin lo-cant u send me
a bar! fur the benny6t of the cause. 1
