some interesting remarks, from which we
quote the following:
ut is part Of the purpose in putting
down this Rebellion 10 put these leaders
up, their feet and hands trembling in the

up side issues; not TO build school-houscs,
churches, water-works, gas houses, ETC.

to aid in crushing this rebellion. You
Wbigs and young Republicans bad some
fear when you put me at the head Of your
ticket. You thought you were running
some risk in having hard fsted Demo-
crat for Governor; that it must be impos-
sible for man who has voted the Demo
cratic ticket thirty-fve ycars--Mrs. Tod is
in good health ladies' laughter and lay
ing aside and forgetting these, act indepen-
dently for the country. God knows you
have been disappointed; and l have only
fifteen months longer, thank God, and if in
that timo you see me stray away, or dc
anything in politics until this Rebellion i;
put down, set me down as crazy. When
this Rebellion is put down, don't trust me
