rong, there warn't a mortal man, high or low,
that could have got him to do it. lie would
have died afore he would DO what his conscience
told him warn't right, an it's them kind of men
that are great men, an will save our country,
ct it ever Is saved" '.WaL," ses he, s1AIajer,
you're about right, an | don't think shall stay
IN this bote much longer. Things are goin from
bad TO wus." .'les," ses |, ''they're like old
Dol Hopkins dyin COW, 'gittin no better very
fast" But" ses he, "Majer, you can rest
easy on the papers. We're goin back to tho
Free Press l11nclpul, an let the people have
their own way WAL" ses l, I'm glad to
hear it. lis about time there was change"
so bid him good by, an went back TO see
the Kernel, who found in peck of trubbl.
Ses |, ''Wlat's the matter now! for saw at a
; glance that sumtllin was up. Ses l, sis Burn
side whipt agn, or is StonewalI jackson in our
rear!' ''No," ses he, 'Majer, nothin Of that
sort, but sumthin Jest about as bad" "Wal,"
ses |, ''what is it!' '.Wal," ses he, ''there has
jest been a colnmisty here from the SENT who
demand shat shall change M Cabbynat. They
say We don't have eny success, an the people
demand change" Ses !, ''did you kick EN-
down siars!' ''No,' ses he II didn't" SWal,"
ses |, ''you orter. They might jest as well ask
you to resign" Ses l, ''don't your Cabbynet
agree in your policyl Don't they do as you de-
| sirep .'les," ses he, ''they do" ''Wal," sesI,
then what's the use Of ohangin? Eff You intend
to change your policy, then il is reasonable to
ask you to change your Cabbynet, bnt other
ways NOT ~ al" ses he, ssAIajer, that's my
iddee exactly, but didn't tell EN- so, thought
I'd wait an see what you thought of it," "Wal,'
ses |, Il see the hull cause OF the ruDipus. The
defeat OF Burnside has made EN- SO rathy that
| they didn't know what to do, an they thought
they must find fault about sumthn." Ses l.,
tighten tic rebils is jest for all the world like
bar huntin, 4 good meny years ago, when it
WIS common up iii Maine, nigh about all the
nabors would now an then turn out to hunt q
bar. III they caught him they used to have
grand time, get up a big supper an drink whis-
| ky till they all got how cum you SO. But If
| they didn't ketch the bar, then one was blamin
tother, an tother anuther, an sumtimes the at
fair would end by gettin into regular fife all
around Jest so it is now. EFF Burnside had
whipt the rebils, it would all have been right"
i5es Lnkin, ses he, Majer, you're right. But
what ain to do? They complain about the
Cabbynet, an want me to change it," sWal,"
ses |, "Kernel, | tell you how TO fix is: Git the
Committy ana Cabbynet face to face, an let em
quarrel it out" 'srhat would be q capital idee,
Maier, but how am L TO do it!' '.Wal," ses |,
you Jest call the Cabhynet together for twelve
! O'Clock tomorrow, an then send tor the Com
| nifty, an put elm III the same room together, an
see how the happy family will manage" The
Kernel was stuck with the idee, an SO the next
| day the Cabbynet was assembled, an pooty soon
after the Committy with Fessenden as Cheer
man, made their appearance. You never see
more austercated set of people in this world than
these men were. But there was no backin out.
| The Kernel called the meetin to order, an sed
he had received good many complaints, an he
wanted the matter fully discussed. Fessenden
got up, an sed that the people were gettin tired
OF the war, an that the only way to satisfy EN-
was to change the Cabbynet burnside had
been defeated, Banks had been sent great ways
ofi, when he was wanted at home, the soJers
warnt paid, the gunboats warnt finished, &c.
Chase got up first, he sed if the solers warn't
paid il warn't his fault. The fact was that
paper had rz unexpectedly, an his stock was
low. jest as soon It's paper got more plenty, an
he got the new patent National Ten Cylender
! R-vovin Machine at work, the sojers would be
all paid regular Then Stantin got up, putin
| like porpuss. Scs he, ''Mr. President, these
ere remarks are impertinent an ef had my way,
would send every one OF this Commtty to tho
! Old Capitol. I'd like TO know what these men
know aDout war, and strategy. Why, they talk
! about the defeat OF Burnside. 1t is nonsense,
sir, he amt been defeated The people hum
bugged by the newspapers. It's II pity there's
u newspaper in the land. They Interfere with
my strategy Burnside has gained great sue
! !. ..,,1 al. ,pt,o of
enemies works at that pint, an now we know
that some other route is the one to take, an not
that one. Eff il hadn't been for this battle, we
shouldn't have found that out. This Committy
! of old gentlemen, or old women, had almost
sad don't understand the art Of war. Their
talk is sheer impertnence. I'd squelch EN- with
| proclamation, If no other way"
| Then. Grandfather Wellcs got up, an sed he
| didn't like to have fault found because his gum
boats wam't reddy. He sed he'd like to see eny
| one who had worked harder than he had He
sed lie hadn't slept but IA hours day for six
| months, while his naterel rest required IL. lie
had sacrificed all that for the good OF his coun-
try, an he didn't believe one of the Community
had done as much, Blair got up an sed he
didn't keer how quick they turned him out He
was reddy to 90 eny time, as he thought tho
thing was about played out Bates sed he tho't
things looked more cheerful than ever before, as
he had jest discovered that niggers could be cit
! izens an that the Dred Scott decision was q
huubug. When they all got thru, there wasa
gincral talk all around, an they finally cum to
the concushn that there warnt any reason Tor
a change after oil, an they all went oit IN
purity good humor.
So tho great Cabbynet crys:s cndcd, an tho
Kernel feels like new man. My idee OF gettin
them all together face 10 face, the Kernel ses,
saved the na.hun,. That mite VIC Sc. Up till at
ter mis.ni!e an fnallyafter takin a good swig
OF Old Rye, went TO bed Tile next mornin
the Kernel was as merry as a lark an could tell
