you, Joshua Bat now about that

In your speech that you was playin

the plank went down In Georgy Il

which suppose you meant that you
was ready 70 swap ends Jest to suit
your pekuliar seckumstance; and
that's what's the matter agin Joshua.
You have been see-sawin too long
and changin ends too often. Twascnt
no time to be swappin hosses my
frend.
But see here Joshua, Mr.. Marshall
may be a clever reporter, but he
treated you badly. He's left out a
heap Of your speech. lie aint had
printed that see-be-saw-fger at all,
and il was, assure you a most beau
tiful mctafor of speech. And he's
left out them little sparks of South
crn patriotism which you omitted.
Howsomever, may be these things
would have been in the way of the
Washinton end of the sce-saw. I'll
tell you my frend, where you wasted
time in your remarks. You said that
if We dident elekt you now we might
want you hereafter, and then we
couldent git You. Don't worry your
self on our akkount. Don't cross the
bridge before you git to it, 1t will
be time enuf, Joshua, for you to re-
fuse when we AK yon. We haven't
been runnin you down to give you
offs, and we aint q goin to. Do you
seesaw away on your plank, and take
good care that you don't fall of.
Your speech was sorter spiteful
Joshua, and if reduced to its gum
would read about thus: Boys I'm a
whale l am, and I'm q prophet and
if YOU don't elekt me to the Senate
I'll go to Washington and give you
the devil"
Well, we dident elect him, Mr..
Tammany, and the devil may come.
In the landgwage Of Patrick Henry,
"let him GOMEZ repeat it, sur,
"let him come" There was another
candidate, Mr.. Hall, whose name was
Jeems johnson. Well, | like Jeems
purity we'll. He dident run nobody
down, nor put on airs. mout have
voted for him IL he had lived in the
State, and / hadent liked Hershel
better. The truth is, | was partial to
Jeems for his "old lang sine" He
was a powerful war-horse in sixty
one. How glorious he 6gered at the
Columbus war meetings. He encour.
aged the boys amazin, and he beat
anybody a gittin volunteers. How
proud we was Of him that night when
he and Colonel Sims made friends or
the stand, and the Colonel pind .
a secession cockade upon Jeems' coat
collar. He then got inspired, and
spoke for two hours in words that
breathed Of bitches and death, and
was full of the spirit Of '76. Hi
watch word were " Beniag and seces.
nion," and he voted for EN- both. Oh
he's q whale in gettin up war. Alas
he were six semper then, but he arr
six transit now. So mote il be, Mr.
Tammany; / couldn't helpit. How
sumever, II don't matter much,
reckon, for we've got another John
son, and they are high roostin fami
ly, shore.
Now you understand the trouble
Mr.. Tammany, about this elektion
We was huntin for two fun bioode'
Union men who could find their wa,
to Washington and back without
way bill, and we couldent find EN-
They amt in the State, I tell you
So we fell back upon the old lan'
marks, we are ridin the old wagil
