Con that be should go to Kansas. :. :, -
Mr.. S.-Guess you've brick in your
hat, stranger. SO
Mr.. P.-My facetious friends, sir, have
been pleased to say there is brick under
it.
Mr.. S.-'Tain't that. Have you liquored.
Mr.. P.-I never take anything before
dinner.
Mr.. S.-More fool you. Yes, stree
Guess I've a kinder liking for ye, but 1
don't banker after your old world habits.
Take notice, now. Walker throws up, his
-dander being riz by Buck.
Mr.. P.-Mr. Buchanan should hang the
ruffianly fillibuster.
Mr.. S.-Jeruselem and snakes! Don't
be in such darned hurry. There's a
brace of Walkers, and ones not tother.
Mr.. P.-Oh, l beg pardon.
Mr.. s.-Hold hard, and grin. You see
Douglas has peeped through the hole il
the blanket, and seed bit of light.
Mr.. P.-The blanket-Oh! Oh! A bil
oflight, eh?
Mr.. S-Spex you don't see none.-
Well begin at flst causes, and come OIL
promiscuous. Air the great and glorious
republic, the only nation in the world where
the golden eagle of liberty can wave hel
alabaster wings and scream her m
Mr.. P.-I know all that.
Mr.. S.-Guess you're hard to please,
stranger. Wall, air we to have any more
slave states than we've got9 That's the
question .s,.e- .-,....r
Mr.. P.-I trust not; and that the abom.
Unable
Mr.. S.-Calculate you'd better Shut up
Slaves or none, we'll always be ready tc
whip you. Besides, look at your Irish and
your Jews, and the Others that you keeI
in abject and grinding slavery. Cocka
doo-dle-doo!
Mr.. P.-I am silent.
Mr.. S.-Wall, then. Bucks with the
South, and meant to have it all his own
way in Kansas, and make slave state Of
it, but the Kansas boys kicks, and Govern.
or Walker, (not the fllibuster, mind you
old opossum) -
Mr.. P.-Really, Mr.. Slick-
Mr.. S.-Shut up, I tell you. Governor
Walker, vino was sent by Buck to Kansas
to do the work, finds it amt to be done;
says Buck promised him that the Lecomp-
ton Constitution should be submitted to the
people, and so throws up. Bucks wide
wake b'hoy, but Douglas he's a wide
awaker, and be sees that to force laws on
free and enlightened citizens like our'n
won't pay, specially when critter has his
eye on the election in 1860. So he just
throws Buck over, and there's difficulty.
Mr. P.-Mr. Douglas being, if I am
right, the most influential man in the States
his opposition to the President would be
formidable.
Mr.. S.-Thats ii, reeled out uncommon
fine.
Mr.. P.-Sir, thank you for your expla-
nation, and I hope that no serious trouble
will arise in the United States, for which
always entertain the warmest regard.
Mr.. S.-Don't worry yourself into no
sort Of perspiration about that, stranger
In corrupt and debilitated old rotten
country like your'n, a political difficulty
might bring ruin and dismay, but where a
western sun glids the proud pinnacles of
American liberty, such things are but the
wandering breezes that cool the wings of
our glorious eagle, and help him to fly still
higher towards the transcendent firma-
ment. Will you liquor9
