Turn that u hev bin tawlked NV fur the

greatiull, but lezire them not tn plais L
IN a falce posishun. / lilly appruve the
Srownd u talk. 1t mite ansur fur COM
mon men to kondecend to ak for Party
nomlnashun, but fur wun of yore HE stand
IN in sosiety and umbrageus talunts it coud
not be eckspected. In thees diggings Z in
Joy HE faim. Yore valerus explites to
hum and abroad is often the theam of kon-
versashun, and seeno recon viii Z should
not talk HE stand. Littel politishuns
must submit to the indignitys U refur two,
and suffur their Mains to be banded round,
but thar is no excuse for NV yore kom-
mandin abilitys tn allow stitch libertys
The immortal Jacksun occupidc precizely
yore posishun, andsI am glad tn see U vim
dikatc his wisdum and faim by takin sim
ilur l. If the people hev not got the sa-
gazette to approximate yore talents without
yore lectioneerin and tellin EN- Nv it let en-
go to thundur and suffur under the inniktion
NV bad laws, stitch as takin our libertys
frtrn, ne n, not olIovvin M 10 drinl a mint, II,
whiske as we want tn whenever we feel
likei it. or git hi and enjoy ,urselphes by
whippin sumboddy. Let EN- continu tn
send incompetent men, as the hav bin "a
dom, tn maik their laws unto tina larn bet
ter. Ii yore talents is nol unprecedented
L kin find abundant consolashun in that
good ole book, know U hav oftin red it,
which sais-full meny jim, Charley
wouldn't jingle or ide substituted it fur
Jim, full neny i'm of purist raj serene,
the dark unphathomless calves of oshun
bear; and also likewiSe-full meny -four
is born to blush unseen and waist its
sweetness on the dessurt heir
But from the wa uzc the big eyes in
yoro letter L seem determined your merets
shall lie unprecedented. ] oner your speer-
ct. 1t am pore dog what will not wag
his own tale, and people is SO stewpid that
onless Teller blows his oane trumpit tina
will not approximate him. Whatever mer-
ct thar ma woncc hav bin in modesto thar
is none now. 1t is every Teller fnr him
selph and the Devil kctch the hindermost
one.
Thar is | thing howsumever, Charley.
Z sal that du Knot ecksactly like, that
I hav bin urgently solicited by trends NY
all partys to becum kandydate. Du L
rieenc tn sa that u hav sum black republi-
can trends? Why would not let NV EN-
cum in rod Nv me: if | NV elm did ide
hold my nose till coud chunk him ava
This malks me little suspicious nv t.,
Charley. and feer U ar not so good dim
okrat as tuck u tn bee Ilowsumever,
mabee i'm little too stringent, and that
OWN tn that split in our party on account
of that cussed Lckompton Dizziness, that
u think it necessary to wheedle around the
darnd black republicans fur there voats fur
feer Z should cum out 2cnl best in the rase
If that's the resun / will xscusc L, as we
must manage to beet EN- sumhow, fur If tina
shoud happen to bette us They'll find on. what
our trends hav been adoin with the taxes
which tina hav divided among themsel Plies,
as tina had rite tn du. notwithstanding
the bowls Of them are black republicans
who are maxim such a tarnal fuss about the
Sheriff gittin the paltry sum of a thousand
dollars outin the county treasury besides
his regular fees, and the Clerk three hun
dred and twenty, besides his fees, and the
Auditor one hundred dollars in addition to
his regular pay, and cuss their misery
souls, tina even hav the impotence to tauk
about the expenditure of four hundred dol
lars for stationary, while, say tina, in ST.
10, only one hundred and fifty war spen.
fur stationary. Tina don't consider, cuss
EN-, that it is one of the planlxs in our plat
form that to the victors belong the spiles
Tha repudiate the doctrine and thercfocr
hav no right to divide the taxes among
themselphes in St. 10. like we Dimokrats
do in Marshall We want our leaders tc
live on the fat Of the land, and hav plenty
NV money to pay fur good music, and 9th
er expenses necessary on extra occasions
AS to the high tacksss they growl SO much
about, tina are only double what tina is In
Koskiusko, whar the black republicans ha,
the control That's nothing to talk about
Who cares fur eckspenses when the success
of the Dimokracy is in peril. We mus
not allow ourselves to be influenced by such
small matters.
But l find myself wandcrin ava from thu
subgect, and must git back think [
had better not hav mentioned anything a
bout oppressive tacskes Who gifts the ben
ga n ox, l,A L. n.I Al.
