in my delirions JOY, forgot to say any
thing to him about IT'D [ looked over the
Convenshun, aud agin the teers welled up
from my heart. My sole wuz full and
oVeraOwln, and [ stopped over at the eyes.
There, before me, sat that hero Dick Tay-
lor, and Cuth Buliitt, aud there wuz the
Nelson's and Yeaduns, and the represen-
tatives Nv the first families NV the South,
and M PhIadeLphta at a Coacentton, with
all the leadin Democrats NV the North,
ceptin Vallandigham and Wood, and they
wuz skulk:n round within call, with their
watchtui eyes on the proceedins Here
Is a prospeck Here is fa:nis The
President into our Confidence The Post
master runnin the Convention The
bands a playin Dixie and the Star Span
gled Banner alternitly, so that nobody
could complain NV partIality, or tell RELY
wIch side the Convention wuz on, on wich
side 1t had been on in the past. All my
too susceptible sole filled up agiu, the
teers started, but that vent wuznt enuff,
and [ fell faintin onto the floor Twenty
or thirty Northern delegates seed me fall
lin, and ketchin site Nv the gray coat with
the brass star onto it, rushed to ketch me
and they bore me out of the wigwam-

didn't go back to the Convenshun,
coz [ know'd it wont no yoose, and besides.
after all the teers that had been shed. the
members wringin their hakerchers onto
the floor, it wuz sloppy under foot Con-
| clllatlon and tenderness gusheG out NV
EN-. | knowd it would be all right-it
| couldn't be otherwise. There wuz bonds
| which held the members together and
prevented the possibility Nv trouble
johnson havin "a ambition to head a party,
must hev party to head. The Northern
deiegashun, which had formerly acted
with The AblishLists, couldn't do nothin
without the Democracy North, and both
on EN- combined couldn't do nothin with
out the Democracy South The President
! Good depend on the Democracy North
coz he holds the Offices; the Democracy
North Good depend on the President COZ
he must have their votes the President
Good depend on the Democracy South coz
! they want him to make a fight agin q
Abishen Congris, which is a unconstitu-

EN- from Wollopin their niggers the
| Democracy South Good depend on the
| President coz he must hev their Repre-
seGtatives in their seats to beat the Alb
| lishnists in CongIis-all Good depend on
all. each Good depend on the other, coz
each faction or ruther each stripe he'd It's
little axe to grind which it coodent do
without the others to turn the grind-stone.
The Southern delegates some on EN-
wuznt so we'll pleased. "What in thun-
DER" sed one Nv EN-, ''did they mean by
Pilin on the agony over the Yanks We
killed by pledgin Us to give up the
ice Nv seceshen, and by pledgin on US to
pay the Nashnel Yankee de6t?"
Ssh - sed |, ''easy over the rough pla-
ces. My friend, they didn't mean it, or
eff they did, we didn't. Is oath so hard
20 break? Wood it trouble that eminent
patriot Breckenridge, after all the time he
swore to support the Constitution, to
sware to it wInst more and wood it
trouble him to break it any more than it
did in '61? Nay, verify. Dismiss them
gloomy thots. Vallandigham wuz kicked
out, but thousand mules, and all of EN-
old and experienced, coodn't kick him
out Nv our service. Dooiittle talked
Northern talk coz its habit he got into
doorin the war, but he'll git over it
Raymond will be on our side this year,
certain, for last year be wuz agin US, and
by the time he is ready to turn agin, he'll
be worn to so small pint that he wont
be worth hevin, and the Democrisy NV
the North wuz aliuz ourn, aud &c they
wuzzent, the Offices Johnson hez in reserve
will draw eui like lode stun
My deer sir, [ wonst knowd Irishman,
who wuz sence killed in a Fenian raid,
employed as artist in vel! diggiu. 1t
wuz his lot to go to the bottom NV the
excavation and load the buckets with
earth. The dinner horn sounded, and he,
with the alakrity characteristic of the
race, sprang into the bucket and told EN-
to mist away, aad they histed, but ez they
histed they amoozed themselves dropin
earth into him. "Shtop!" said he; but
they didn't. "Shtop!' said he, cor be
gorra I'll cut the rope" Ny deer sir.
Randall and DooHttle, and Seward aud
johnson, aIe histin Us out of the pit we
fell into In 1860. Their little talk about
debts and slavery, aud sich, is the earth
they'r droppin onto US for fun, but she'll
we, like ijeots, cut the rope? Nary !
Let EN- hist, and when we are about on
the solid ground, we kin, eff We desire,
turn and chuck EN- into the hole
All went off satisfed-the Northern
men, for they carried home with EN- their
commishuns [, feelin that my Postoffice
wuz sekoor, for eff, with the show we've
got, we can't re-elect johnson, the glory
Nv the Democracy hez departed, indeed.
