BURNT HOUSE, SINs1NNAUGHTY, !
September 10.
Edditnrs of the Sunday Nerkery:
My spcetch at Chickargo psrdooced a
marked sensashin, the odditory eegsprss-
sin thar satisfackshin at it's conolooshin,
in manner that did skwil honor to thar
harts and lungs. Determined to keep the
bawl rollin on, left tho next mornin
for this city, with witch am eggrejusly
delighted. Mutch as it hes been lardsd
fer its pigtsresk buty, skasely think that
emmy pen could do it justis. Sartainly,
the complimentary illooshia to it in the
drayma of "Porksrhuntus" is no more n
it desarvss. Yestday arternoon, 1 dsliy-
cred an erang to the people, Of the tallsst
kird, in which the kwalifcashins of Mr.
Lincoln for the first ofiz in the gift Of the
nashin were illustrated with singular force
and apetitude. Takia my stand at the
winder immedisntly ever the name en-
trance of the Burnt House, I persssded
to fire the Buckeye hart as follers. OF
course, ken oney Civ breof abstrack of
the orashin, but the prencepal pints will
be reekcgnized as eorreck by all whe
heerd it:
FRIENDS AND FELLER- -FREEMRN:--I
hev jist left Illannoy, whar the mayjes-
tickle Abraham, the sinnersure of all
honest mems eyes, wanst he'd his hum.
Shell deskribe to you the affeckshin
with witch he is regarded by the patriot
ic Shckers2 l kennot deskribe it. Shell
/ portray to you the dogged fidelity with
witch they cling to his polytickle fortens?
I kennot portray it. As the pone says:
"Who hes pot proovsd how fsebly wurds
essay,
To paint our luv for Abraham Linceln2--
say?
Who hes not felt call for him to fight,
Eleckshineer, negoshiate, and write?
Who that hes taste refuses to confess
His matohless grace and perfeck luvliness?
Setch buty's his'n, and setch charms on
known.
You'd skasely trust your wives With him
alone.
The lively wink, the ludicrus grimace,
The sirkiss humor beaming from his face;
The brain whose saftness loobricatss the
hole,
And oh the largness of that nifty sole !"
1t is seldum that kwotashun sggsack-
ly fits, but l think you will agree with
me that these lines doye-tales purity nice
ly with the mild and amabul natur of the
poplar idle whose civil and milontary coos
hes for the last four years been tie admi-
rashin of the Western Hemisfear. | sed
the last four years, but feller Abrahanites
they mustn't be the last. We must clee
him agen, and agen, and agen, ontil the
vice Of the turkle is wunst mere heerd in
the land Maclellin mought cenker a
peace. 1 don't say he wouldn't. But eff
you air treo patryits of the Lincolnian
stripe, you want no peace, and least Of all
stitch peace as he would give US. Why,
saygashus freemen of this sntcrprizen
commsrshel city, should you desire the
war to eend. To be shoor thars the draft
and the taxes; but then luck at the price
of pork Isent it Fifty dollars barl, and
ken you say, afore high heaven that you
want it down at twenty-five? As mon
with great stake--a great pork stake, l
may say-in the kentry, you kennot be so
onjest to your fammalees. For doosent
the Skripter say that him as kesreth not
for his own household is wus'n an infd-
die? Wal, as sun as this war stops down
Gums hog meat wun hundred per cent at
least, and pig-ile the same. Why. as the
spook ses in the tragedy of "Hamlet" its
euuff to make the har stanD on eend like
kwills upon the fretful porkyoupine, to
think of it. .Bristle up then, and go in
hensforward fer eggsterminashion and the
breaking of the Suthern yoke. Why
should peace be s,oiny quee non with
you?
I don't say that Maclellin doosentstand
on sound Union platform. Greeley ses
he docs, and I'm not goin to make di-
vishins in the Lincoln camp by maxim an
issos with Greeley. But thon ysull OBJ
serve the Maolellin platform is narrer
wun 1t insloods America but dent take
In Afrika. Ken snnything be meaner
then that. Oney to think of platform
with nary sbeny plank tot it, and without
emmy onder pisuin but the blamed old
Constitesshin, that our fearless oheef mad
gistrat mauled inter shivers morena year
and hafe age. Why, its nsnstr-sl Men
Of Porkopolis, are you goin to leave the
onfortnit sons Of Ham in the lurch? Air
they not to hev life, libty and the per-
shoot of happiness as we'll as emmy uther
man? Wet was this war instooted for, /
should ke to know? Isn't wool com
posed of the same kimical ingresdyants
as har? AK the kimmists. Thars no
difference eggsept in the sclasstisity and
leuth of the fiber. and that's the loag and
the short Of it. Would you GO back or
your curly -hedded feller Christians, be
kase they happen to hev1 black pigmen
onder thar cuetickles2 l Ianser fer you il
the niggertive.
