To My Dear Belored Ne0use, Hilliam and
Jeramire Quinp:- be- KS
Dear NeGase-I have
took my pen in hand to right you few
lines, and to save the trouble Of righteu 2
letters, and to enable all your other brothers
in this country, and the balance Of the Quinn
family, back in Pennsilvana, to Sc what
your old unkle has to sa to you'll concluded
to have the letter published in the nonparcl
nusepnper.
Now my deer neffusc, | do this in al kind
ness, for your good, for the good of the
hole family and the dimecrat party. have
seed for some time, that quarrel was n
brucin betwixt you. But heve ben in
hopes that it would di away, till seed your
letters 10 the nonparei and buglc nusepa-
pers. noed then there would be a big
family fus, sich as kept the family in hot
waiter in old ponsilvaua morn twenty years,
and al thru envy and jelesy about polyticks.
1t is true, you dident quarrel about poly
ticks back there, for you no you wasent
nouc as polytishuns til you cum west. But
SC now that it is goin to be worse then
ever. al the other brothers vii pitch in
There is j. D. T., W. c. j., W. II. NJ. P,
A. II. P, and even Gideon, tho naturally
so quiet and peace-loving, vii git riled up,
and al vii pitch in, and the hole family vii
be disgraccd; for when you git rite mad,
you vii so rite to throen up to each other
ali the mean dirty tricks that you have ever
been gilty Of, and you DO they are many
The peaces you rote in the nusepaper, seem
to be very friendly, but no there aint any
friendship about en-, tina are the worst kind
of insinuwashens, and intended to rifle up
each others fclins. You have no bisness
to riten for nusepapers, unles you was capa-
BILE. You should levc that to your old Unklc
Joshua, who noes how to rite, and how to
indite, so as not to hurt peoples felins. You
both no that last fall went on to our old
homo in PENNSYLVANIA, and called on James
Buchanan while he was ut home, und had a
, long talk with him about old times. told
him since yu and yure brothers had cum
west, you had got to be quite respected, and
was al considered useful members of the
dimecrat party especially on election dais,
and when there was any dirty work to do.
James seemed almost overjoyed to hcer Of
your success, for he ccd he had long had
feers that none Of you would ever be eny
account. But he ced fyou Good pms yoor-
selves of for respectable and do the dirty
work for the dimscrat party, that was enuf;
Tor he ced that party could not possibly sue
ccde much longer, unless tho members Of
that elias. Good be kept at work, and Good be
united. lie sed the feeders of the party
was al split up, and, unless the small fish
Good be kept together, the hole party was
gone to the devil. After he had talked on
good while about the party, and his adj
,ninistrashun, and Judge Dugls, and the
Lecompton Constitushun, commenced a
taken abou w ngin, and he listened. l
told him saw fuss bruen between you
that is, between William and Jcramirc, and
that fccred al the other bruthers wood
be into it. told him you was al very
ambshus, and auful gelus of each other
each one told him, wanted to be the biggest
in polyticks. When l had got thru, he
heaved deep sigh, and sed it was one of
the most unrongest things in the world, for
the small fry to git jelus, and fal out about
polyticks. lie sed if HIM an Judge DuSlis
fell out about Lecompting, it was no reaso on
that the small potaters should imatate them,
and commence pitcher into each other
lie ccd everybody noes that Duslis wanted
to be President in 1900 and sixta, and sails
he 81 : m determined he shant be- Then he
s., still and studied little bit, and then sails
he when you 80 home, you talk tn the boys,
and tell them tn keep quyet, and for Gods
sake not to fal out about polyticks; and SCI
he, You are there old unklc and ortcr be
minded. Sais that's so, james, and vii
du my best, you may depend upon that
lie sed he noed would, for he alwais con-
,idered me the most quictest and piece lovin
one of tho hole Quinn family. And, now,
deer ncfuse, let me conjure W, in the name
Of president of the united states, in the
name of your old farther who is long sinse
ded, and who W bros with gra hairs, in sin
and sorrow to the grave, and in the name of
your old unkle, who is a brother to your
father, and in the name Of the state of rcnsi-
vana and tho dimccrat party, to stop your
quarrelin, and for Gods sake don't rite cny
more for the nuscpapcrs. The FIRST thing
yu no, al the family seacrets vii be out, and
W and your brothers and al the connecshun
back in PENNSYLVANIA, vii bee cvcrlastipsly
disgraced. l am afraid when yu get mad
onse, you vii let out some of the secrets of
the dimecrat party, and disgrais the hole
name from, James Buchanan down tn yoor-
seves. That was what James seemed Altered
Of when had the talk with him.
AMI now, my deer neffusc, let me appel
tn yu onse more, jointly, and then separate
ly, never agin, (tu use tho language of NJ.
W. Robinson) while time continues tn roll
attempt to rite peese for nusepapcrs.-
And to sou, William, vii sa sepcretly,
FIRST, as w begun the fus just hold your
horse-dont insinuate, either in public nor
in private, that your brother Jeramirc has
been an abolitionist, and whig, and that
no has been gilty of steelin money from the
government, and bin bcetin for the legisla-
ter BY preecher, and beaten for alderman
by chief .ju'tiso Shoemaker, for when you
insinuwait on facts, it hirts hcep wus then
to tel lise on one. And, to you, Jcramire,
let me sa, that du think, to use the Ian.
gIage of James Buchanan, cit is one of tho
most In 'onsest things in the world' for n
brother to insinuwate that his other brother
