bl1sTUR EDYTUR-Before proceedin to my
name subject, i will take the liberty to re-
buke you for edytoral in the last tspecta-
tur' believe it is from your pen, as sum-
body told me that all them peices what 1had
no names to them was edy torals. after given
the result of the late elecshun for Congress,
you maid some stricturs on the peepel Of the
eestcrn cowntees of this district for voten too
much for luis & not enuff for Sturte Now,
mr. mozey, have olwase sustained you and
thot as you tbot, but in this assolt of yours
on them good peepel you hav my unqualifde
condemnation. &
It is my natur to ite for my trends when
ever thay is assailed, and now think it Is
mi dooty to vndicait the honor Of albemarl-
the other cowntees must talk keer OF THAR
selves. You assail them cowntees, and thay
aul Civ majority for sturte, albemarl a
majority of seven. now this is a tremeDjus
majority, considerjn the small voat, and you
must rcmembir that THAR was three thousand
eleven hundred & twenty caises of exemtion
en- account of hart disees (anginy pectoribus)
durin the last war in albemarl, aud these fell
lers has aul dide since the war oioased Of
coarse aud this accounts for the small voat.
In pint Of inteligents and aul that look
on albemarl as a modurn athens. i seed in
the Sharu.esviel Kronical or sum such pa
pur a list of the kawllages and scules in that
plais, and it wus surprlsen. Thare wus tho
unionvcrsity and dun no how menny moar
and accordin to that nusepaper it is one of
~ ho j
that tyne was struk with admyrashun fur
the cownty, determined at wonst to maik it
mi kryterun iu aul things, will think as al
bemarl thinks and yoat as shee voats. at
the last elekshun wus at a loss at first to
no whehur to voat for sturte or luis. Thare
wus mozey and the "spectaitur' for sturte
but then didn't no how mi almy mater al
bemarl would voat. Thinks to miselt both
Nv them is well noed. Sturte is need aul
over the so-called union; he has been in
Kongrus before he was member of the
kabynut onst, don't mean kabynut Of Gu
riosytee or 1noosium, but mean the presl-
dents kabynut of advisurs-used in them
daise to counsil with him how to eccycute
the laws, but in these das the kabynut is a
kind of dynasty for the purpus Of tryen the
eastisity of the konstitution. Luis is well
uoed too hs is noed well in rockingham and
sum part Of oggusty, he is noed as a iron
contractor for the lat deceased konfederacy.
| was thus cogitaten when metes with squire
Baker says i, squire, how are you goen to
voat? sez he, dun no, thay sd sturte cant
talk his sete. why not, sez j. has be got opis-
thotonos-this is big word, mozey, but It's
true the docturs coll lock jaw by this name
when the sic un tuches the bed only with his
heels and back Of his neck. You must ex-
cuss medicul frazes for i've been studyin med
isen for days.
Eny how was thinken that sturte had
sum fzical aimeut that he couldn't talk his
sete i want thinker about him not taken
his sete in kongress Sez squire baker, share
is oathe that all members of koDgress has
to take before thay can talk thare setes thay
must sware that thay never willinly AIDED OF
sympethised with the rebellion. Sturte SEE
be wont talk this oath, luis sez he can and
will talk it.
Thinks to miselt will vote for sturte now
any how; that oathe is nuthin but ketch
it is a hobbee that luis and parsel more
sich fellers is going to ride to kongrus on
more than that the oathe is Unconstitutional
by that papur feller is only required to be
25 years old and resident of the United
States for years.
When the elecksbun cum off, sure enuff
voated for sturte. But konfess was a lit
tel uneazy for fear had voated rong until
could here from mi krterun, albemarl. But
thinks to misef i've voated my sentiments
eny how, thinks i, have taken oathe to
support the konstltution of the so-called Uni
ted States & if voat for man that sez he
is willing to talk Unconstitutional oath Oh
enything else just to get to kougress, why
then will purgcr myself and every body els
will tat voats for luis.
My suspens was somewhat releived-tha
is whether voated right or rong-when tht
elekshun returns begin to cum in oggusty
has gon for sturte by moro than one thusand
