.bout that man Linn Be Sanders IN fict there is
enny SIGH man, which is now the questshuns with
me and one that posters Joe Smithers wuss than it
does me that is, Joe is not muck pestered ,bout
there bein' SIGH man, for he firmly b1eves there
is but he don't know 'xactty where he is nor what
he's candidit for. ~ - 7s1sEss3F s'sf
You recollect writ to you sum time ago and axed
vou if there was emmy SIGH bein. for felt dout
he subject Now, writ you that letter in the ded
oct sort Of ernest, for had never hearn of the man
before he ishued that disrihushun letter. and moren
that couldn't find emmy body else that had ever
hearn of him; and if there is RALLY emmy SIGH man
7 ~ his pardon for havin' douts about him.. Them
That knows me knows ant PROUD, nor above nobody
that's decent, and that wouldn't poke fun at fell
i.r.creeter merely for the sake of the fun.
But as was sayin': III axed you in all cander
and onesty if there was emmy SIGH 6onXde individual
&c Linn Be Sanders, and sum how you didn't take
the trubbe to remove my douts. By degrees cum
nich forgot the whole circumstance till t'other day
uben Joe Smithers cum runnin' to me with the
RoIv Register and his mouth both wide open, and
co.. he Uncle Pinebur YOU see Joe calls me
uncle and seems affeshunate because I sum times
Give him his dinner and drink gratis-ses he,
sITncle Pinebur here's the name of your man Linn
Re Sanders right up at masthead in the Register,
md that proves that there is SIGH man sertn and
:, also proves he's Know Nuthin'. and more'n that
he's candid for President or constable or sumthin'
ese and / mean to vote for him, darned if don't.
Hooray for McRaie and Sandersl"
I took the Register and looked at it, and shore
emf there was the name of Linn Be Sanders,
candidit for the commons.
Joe" ses !, "youre material fool and half drunk
too. SO won't git mad at you; but the Register ses
he's candidit for the Commons"
"Yes and I'll bet Rolly 'lects him, too" ses Joe.
"But he's candidit in Johnston" ses I; land,
fool as you are, don't you know Johnston ant in
Rolly nor Ro.ly in Johnston, neither?"
81 don't know nuthin' about it." ses Toe, "only
that there is SIGH man as Linn Be Sanders, and
that he's candidit side for sumthin', and l
don't care whether he's in North Carliner or Virgin.
nv or Rolly or Johnston mean to vote for him
and McRaie. Hooray for our sidel"
Now, Mr.. Printers, think the Register. for the
benefit Of the only Sanders and McRaie man in this
naborhood, ought to explain, Fustly, whether there
is SIGH man as Linn Be Sanders; Secondly, wheth-
er he's canddit in North Gardner or Virginny;
Thirdly. whether he's in Johnston or Rolly; ana
Fourthly, what he's {. candidt for. For my own
part don't care pin about it any way, only my
curiosity is sorer excited agin to know for sertin
whether there is any SIGH man as Linn Be Sanders.
l s'pose you know all about him-f there is any
SIGH man in fact-and as his name appears in the
Know-Nuthin' organ, he must be organized sum
where. sumhow, and by sumbody; and you'll oblege
me by givin' me SIGH informashun as will enable me
to settle my douts.
And while think Of it. I might as well Ak you
about another matter. It's reported up here that
McRaie is Frenchman. Joe Smithers swars he is
not, but Joe is a Know Nuthin', and consequently
would lieve sware one thing as another. Sum
Teller at Rolly writ to me a few weeks ago and told
me that the way I spelt it before, Mckay, was
wrong; that the right way was Morale, as he was a
Frenchman, and took the Frenchifed terminashun
Of ie like silly school gals that spell their names
Poie Lizzie, Marie, Fannie, &C., thnkin' that sum-
ls,1 h1kxn IL IL L.
material native names. Now, if he is a Frenchman
in fact, don't blame him; but IL he's native I
think he's nifty foolish to be tryin to Frenchify his
name that way. Please to releave my douts on
this matter also, when you write to me, which hope
will be soon.
But whether he spells his name McRay. or McRaie,
or any other way, he won't git many votes up here !;
70, he sed in bis letter to Mr. Dancy that no sane
man would think of votin' another dollar for inter-
nal improvements AccordiE' to that we've nifty few
"sane" men in the mountains and Of course he
wouldn't want the votes of insane men. We've
helped to make internal improvements in other
shuns, and now We want other secshuns to do to us
as have done to them and we blieve the peo-
pie of other secshuns is honest enuf to do they
bin done by. We don't b'lieve the people of emmy
secshun is enuf to refuse to help to the ad
vantages we have helped them to. Shorely they
are not so selfish and disonest as to say, "We've
got all we want, and we won't 60 for givin' emmy
thing to emmy body else"
l expect the Know-Nuthins in all parts of the
State is ticklin' themselves with the idee that a
Know Nuthn' will be 'lected up here in Clingman's
place. You needn't be at all Uneasy about that
Gineral Jones, the present Know -Nuthin' candidit
can't git emmy votes hardly: and either Avery or
Coleman will be 1ected and both Of them are good
Dmicrats. It's my opinion, however, that Zeb.
Vance to put in his sickle before long, tho
understand he has told Coleman he would not. But
Vance is Know Nuthin'. and, therefore, you can't
tell whether he is ten' truth or Know. Nuthinizn'
And it don't matter; for Coleman has told sum OF
his intimate friends if Vance undertook emmy SIGH
game as that, he would withdraw at onci; as he
considered both himself and Avery as very insigni6
cant when compared with the intrests of the great
Dimicratc party. Coleman's whole soul Teller,
and would ruther sacr6se himself than his party
You may rest ashored either him Avery will fill
Clngman's place. and either of them will fill it WE'LL
So will now close by subscribing myself
Yourn till deth,
PINEBUR MOCCAsIN.
p s. I've jest now hearn that Avery, Coleman,
Gneral Jones and Vance, has all gone up to Chero-
kee bheve Vance thinks Coleman has got so
FUR along now that he won't withdraw no how, and
that he Vance intends to declare himself candidit
up at Cherokee. If he does he'll feel nifty mean,
Tor Coleman will quit right short off and leave Vance
to back out or be badly beat jest he may choose
r. 2. S. S. What Teller is that in Nash, named
Battle, runnin' for the Legislator? Is he the man
shat was in the Sinate last seshun and delivered a
ulogy on DR.. JefreysG 1t seems to me SIGH ulogy
as that would deter emmy other member from dyn'
while Battle was member I've writ down to Nash
or inormashun about him. II he's the Teller think
ne 's-the Venable Battle I've hearn of-prehaps
may have sumthin' to say about him before long.
