Ar THE BIpDLE HousE,
(which is in Detroit, Michigan
September the 4th, 1866.
:. Step by step am assendin the ladder u,
fame-step By step am -climbin to proud
eminence. Three weeks ago was sum
mso,ned to Washington by that eminentl,
CRATE and good man, Androo johnson, to
attend consultation ez to the proposed
Western tour. which was to be undertskin
fur the purpose NV arousin the masses NV the
West to sence Nv the danger wich wuz .
threatnin uvem in case they persisted in cen.
tralizin the pow er wv the government into the
hands NV Congris, insiid of diffusia 1t
throughout the hands Of one man, wich is
johnson. got there too late to take part
in the first Nv the discussion. When arrove
they he'd everything settled ceptin the ap-
ointment nv a chaplain for the excursion.
The President insisted on my filn that posi-.
ton, but Seward objected He wanted
beecher, but johnson wuz infexihy agin
him. II am determined SEE he, 'to carry
out nv policy, but hev some bowels left.
Beecher hez done enuf already, considerip
the pay he got Mol mol he shell be spared
this trip-indeed he shell"
"Very good, = said Seward, "but at least

seen him. Nasty II must be-"
There wuz then a lively discussion ez to
the propriety, before the procession started,
of removin all the Federal offs holders on
the proposed route, and appintin men who
believed in us, johnson, Beecher and me,
that we might be shoor Of sootable fecsp-
shun at each pint at wich We WIZ to STOP

little chmed in, for it's got to be part of
their religion to assent to whatever the Pres
ident seq. but | mildly protested. l owe
duty to the party, aud / am determined to do
it.
''Most High SEE /, "a settin hen wich is
lazy makes no fuss-cut its head off and i.
fops about for while !irely. Lincoin's, Of
ice.holders are settn hens They don't
Ike 700 OF yoor policy. but while they are on
their nests they will keep moder1tly quiet
Cut off their heads and they will squirt their
blood in your face. Ez to bein enshoored of
a reception at each pint, you need fear nuth-
in. Calkerlatin moderately, thera are
twenty FIVE or thirty patriots who feel . call
for every offs in your disposal. So long,
Yoor Hiehnis, ez them offsis is held just
where they can see EN-, and they don't know
wich is to git EN-, 700 may depend upon the
entire enthoosiasm NV each, individyooally |
and collectively. In short, eff there's OTIS

make the appointments you hev the hundred

= 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 akkordingly cirkular wuy sent to the
clerks in the department, assassin em for
that purpose. Sich Nv EN- ez refoosed to con- |
tribute their quota wua instantly dismissed
for disloyalty.
At last we started and must say We wuz |
got up in highly conciliatory style. Every |
wun Of the civilians Nv the party wore buzz |
yum pins, ct setery, wich wuz presented to |
em by the Southern delegates to the Phils- |
dephia Convention, wich wuz made NV the |
bones Of Federal soldiers wich had fallen 1t
various battles Sum Nv EN- we're partikerly |
valuable es anteeks, levin bin made from the |
bones of the fust soldiers who fell at Bull |
Run.
= The Moo York recepshun was gay affair. !
/ never saw his Imperial Highness in better |
spirits, and he delivered his speech to better |
advantage than ever heard him do it before, |
and beeve I've heard it hundred 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 taste Nv them wines is still in |
nv mouth But we he'd to 60 We he'd |
mishun to perform, and we put ourselves on .
steamboat and started.
AIBANY.-There wuz immense crowd, |
but the Car w all the Americas didn't get |

That struck chill over the party aud the |
President got out nv ii ez soon en- possible. |
Bein reserved ez Chief Magistrate and not e.
the great Paci6cator, amt his Eggslencys

do it. Ifhe takes the papers he must X
that His Mightiness ain't got but one speech, /
and he ought to hev made such recepshun
ez would hev enabled him to hev got it OF. |
We shook the dust of NV our feet and left Al |
pany In disgust.

RoxE.-Here We he'd splendid recepshun,

that he he'd swung around the Southern side |
Nv the cirkle, and wuz now swinging around
