CHAPTER II.

No sooner had Sunna Nagun decided to
go, than he cast about him for a con,paG-
non du voyGge-by which remarkable term
is meant, that he hunted for somebody to
60 a-hunting.
In this search, Sunna Vagun was emf.
nently successful. He soon found his man.
1t was Mordicai yes, Mordicai that
dear, good old soul, who, in due observ-
ance of custom peculiar to himself, had
come to Ebensburg that very morning to
get on tear.
In Mordicai Sunna Vagun had a man
to agree with him most heartily in every
opinion that he advanced relative to the
obnoxious statute of 1760. Nay, if posi-
bic, Mordicai went peg or two farther
sLte took the broad ground, that statute
hundred years old would be "cut out by
the Imitation
lll-fated Mordicai,
When Sunna Vagun found him. Mordi-
cal had already deposited in his archives,
Iof sale-keeping, several large glasses Of
small beer,-that delightful beverage hav-
ing been his favorite from time immem-
orial; although he always could, when
necessary, substitute for it the moro pow
erful liquids, without any serious scruples
Of conscience.
F.. Whether from the effects of the small
beer or not, Mordicai had already begun
to look wise. His eyes twinkled like stars,
and had sharpness about them more
easily Imagined than described What if
his tongue was a little thick? Still it
went-went-went- even as doth the clap
per of cow-bell
This was Merdicai.

The Right Sentiments.

A banquet was recently given to the
Hon. Bailie Peyton. by citizens of Phila-
delphia. Among many ether distinguished
gentlemen invited by the Committee, was
the Hon. John Sherman, the candidate OF
theRepublicans for Speaker of the National
House of Representatives. Mr.. Sherman
not finding it convenient to accept the
invitation so rendered him, addressed the
Committee letter which we herewith
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1860-01-26
The state a. Unit.

The New York delegation, in the Ma
tional Republican Convention, will be
unit in support of William H. Seward for
the Presidency; the Ohio delegation will
be unit, and support Salmon ?. Chase;
other States will probably be unanimous
in supporting their own candidate, and for
these reasons it may be desirable that the
Pennsylvania delegation should be 4 unit.
At least, such is the argument presented
by those who favor the appointment of
delegates to the National Convention by
the State Convention, which will be held
on the 22d of February; and, to make the
Pennsylvania delegation unit, is the sole
object of appointing delegates in State
Convention. We trust we appreciate fully
the Importance Of solid vote from our
State; but we beg leave to remind our
friends that New York and Ohio will
each be unit, unaer any circumstances.
Each presents candidate who will re-
ceive the undivided and hearty support of
the people. No other delegates could be
elected in New York than those favorable
to Senator Seward and in Ohio, none
other than friends of Governor Chase.
In those States there is one sentiment
only; and where is the difference, then,
whether delegates be appointed or elected,
or whatever be the mode of their selec-
ton, so long as they represent the will of
the peopleI Under the same circumstances.
in Pennsylvania, no one could object to
the mode of selecting her delegates; but,
unfortunately, she presents TWO candi-
dates; each has earnest and Jealous SUD-
porters; and it matters not what NAV be
their relative strength, each one is en-
titled to get delegates by means of fair
election. 1t is possible, too, that other
candidates, not citizens of this State, have
friends sufficient here to secure them a
few delegates, and fair election is the
only proper method of settling the matter
| IN satisfactory manner. If the State is
unit in favor of any candidate, an elec-
ton will demonstrate that fact and silence
all opposition; if she is not unit, op-
pointing delegates will not make her So:
and wo to the men who would misrepre-
sent her, by denying her citizens the
opportunity to have a fair expression on
SO Important subject. We wish that all
were harmony, and single candidate
presented by our State; and more, we wish
the nomination could be secured to a true
Pennsylvania; but much as, we desire
this, there is one method only by which
we would accomplish it-that is, by fair
election. There might be no harm done
by appointing delegates, but it is ques-
tionable; there can be no harm in electino
them. Then why hesitate which course
to pursue! Many of our exchanges have
spoken candidly on the subject, and adyo-
cate fair election in the several districts

CHAPTER =.

Slowly but surely the procession moved
The old horse snorted little at the out
set, and occasionally the jsckass brayed.
Numerous bad boys, too, followed after
and along with the procession and vainly
sought to ridicule it.
Rude and uncultivated boys,
The air was vocal with disagreeable
noises
Snort. snort. snort" went the old
horse. BRAY! bray. Bray went the
jackass.
''There goes old Sunna Vagun with his
old horse and log-sled ~ said one impu-
dent brat
"And there goes old Mordicai ridin'
on a jackass.'' said dozen saucy urchins.
"G' lang, Shell Bark !''-"Hoora for
Sunna Vagun .''-"Give US nip, Mordi-
cal -
ola, ha, a-he, he, he.-hi, hi, hi.-
no, ho, ho.-hu, hu, hu"
''Snort, snort, snort"
BRAY, bray, bray"
But what of all that?
Far above these discordant sounds was
heard the sweetest music-deiightful, en-
chanting strains which fingered upon the
ears OF all-more especially upon the long
ears OF the jackass. Mordicai was singing,
his tavorite; in the execution of which
Sunna Vagun gave all the assistance in
his power. Mordicai sang the air in his
usual good style. Sunna Vagun, ''though
not much of a" basso, whistled the bass
as best he could
1t was an imposing sight,
Starting at the place of beginning, the
cavaloade proceeded along High street to
Phaney street, where it halted SO as to
give Mordicm and Sunna Vagun time to
take some lager. Thence, up Phaney
street to Sample street; where little
Sehiedam Schnapps was INDUCED in.
Thence, up Sample street to Juliann
street; where two drinks of brandy were
disposed of Thence, down Juliann street
to High street; where bottle of whiskev
was dispatched. Thence, down High
street to the Diamond; where the caval-
cade came to dead halt, so as to allow
Mordicai and Sunna Vagun an oppor-
tunity to take a few drinks of whiskev
Oh, the consequences of that halt!
Mistaken Sunna Vagun.
Il-fated Mordicai!

CHAPTER ".

Everything being arranged as detailed
in the last chapter, Mordicai and Sunna
Vagun partook of little whiskey; and it
was agreed that Mordicai, on account of
his enlarged experience and great fanili-
arity with the country, should lead the
way. On Sunna Vagun deyolved the
equally responsible tasE of bringing up
the rear with the old horse and log-sled.
An immense crowd had congregated to
witness the departure
Having each taken glass of small
beer, Mordicai mounted the iackass, and
Sunna Vagun took his position on the
log-sled.
The air was chilly, and the journey be
fore them deemed perilous one. Nor
dicai suggested the propriety of taking a
slight nip of whiskey before starting. To
proposition so reasonable in itself, Sunna
Vagun couldn't see the least objection.
The nip was taken.

Ready was the prompt reply.
