There wuz then lively discussion ez tn

Office holders are setten hens. They don't
like 700 nor yoor policy, but while they are
on their nests they will keep moderity aui-

their blood in your face. Ez to bein en-
shoored of reception at each pint, you need

The President agreed with me that until
after the trip the gullotine shood stop.
Secretary Seward sejested that clean
shirt wood improve my personal appearance,
and akkordingy cirkuar wuz sent to the
clerks in the Departments, assessor EN- for
that purpose. Sich Nv EN- ez refoosed to
contribute their quota wuz instantly dis
missed for disloyalty,
a { last we started, end | must say we
wuz rot up in highly conciliatory style.
Every wun of the civilians Nv the party
wore busssum pins ct settry, which wuz
presented to them by the Southern delegates
to the Philadelphia Convention, which wuz
made NV the bones Nv Federal soldiers witch
he'd fallen at various battles Sum Nv EN-
were particularly valuable ez anteeks, hevin
bin made from the bones Nv the fust soldier
who fell at Bull Run.
The Moo York recepshun was a CAV af-
fair. never saw His Imperial Highness in
better spirits, aud he delivered his speech to
better advantage than ever heard him do
it before, and believe I've heard it hun
dred times We left Moo York sadly
Even now ez write, the remembrance Nv
that perceshun-the recollection NV that
banquet fingers around me. and the tastes
Nv them wines is still in my mouth But
we he'd to go We he'd mishen to perform,
and we put ourselves on a steamboat and
started.
ALBANY-1here wuz immense crowd !,
but the Gar NV all the Amerikas didn't get
ortf his speech here. The Governor well
coined him, but he welcomed him as the
Cheef Magistrate Nv the nashen, and hap
pened to drop in LincoIn's name That
struck chill over the party, and the Presi-
dent got out of it ez soon as possible. Bein re-
seeved ez Cheef Magistrate, and not ez the
great Paclficater, amt his Eggslency's best
holt. 1t wuz unkind Nv Gov Fenton to do
it. II he takes the papers he must know
that his Mightiness amt got but one speech
and he ought to have made SIGH a recepshun
ez would hev enabled him to hev got it off.
We shook the dust off NV our feet and
left Albany in disgust
SKENAoTADY.-The people NV this delight
full little village wuz awake when the i'm
perial train arrived The changes heyen't
bin made in the offices here and consekentIy
there wuz a splendid recepshun. l didn't
suppose there wuz so many patriots along
the Mohawk. | wuz pinted out by some
wun es the Presidents private adviser-a
sort of private Secretary Nv State, and after
the train started found jest 211 petitions
for the Post Offs in SkeDaktedy in my side

ez we hev the Post Ofisis to give. we kin
ailus hev party, The Sultan swung round
the eirkle wdnst here aud leaving the Con.
stooshun in their hands the train moved off;
ROME Here we had splendid recepsbuu
and never heard his majesty talk more fell
icitiously. He menshuned to the audience
that he he'd swung around the Southern side
NV the cirkis and wuz now swingin around
the Northern side NV it, and that he VIM
fghtin traitors on all Sides He left the
Constitooshun in their hands and bid EN-
good bye. | received at this pint only 100
petitions for the Post Office, witch Itook ez
bad omen for the comm election.
UTIoA.-The President spoke here with
more warmth and jerked more originality
than he'd before observed He introdoos,
here the remark that he didn't come to make
speech-that he wuz goin to shed tea,
over the tomb of Douglas, in swinriT
around the circle he has fought traitors Of
all sides NV it, but that he felt safe. II,
shood leave the Constitooshun in their hands
and eff a martyr wuz wanted he wuz ready
to die with neetness and despatch.
LooKPoRT. The President is improvil
wonderfully. He rises with the occasion
At this point he mentioned that he wuz so
on savin the country wich he'd honored him
Ez for himself his ambishn wuz more thai
