ny heart. My sole wuz full and over

eyes; there, before me, sat that hero,
Dick Taylor, and Cuth Built, and
here wuz the Nelson's and the Yea
1ons and the representatives of the
first families of the South, and in
Philadelphia, at a Convention with
all the leadin DimokratS Nv the
North, ceptin Vallandigham and
Wood, and they wuz skuIIin around
within call with their watchful eyes
on the premises. Here is prospeck
Here is fairness! The President into
our confidence! The bands played
Dixie and the Star SpangIed Banner
alternately, so that nobody Good com
plain NV partially, or tell RELY witch
side the Conyenshm was on, or witch |
side it had been on in the past. All
my too susceptible sole filled up
again, the teers started, but that vent
wuzzen't enuff and | fell taintin on
the floor. Twenty or thirty Nor
thern delegates seed me lallin, and
ketchin site Nv the gray coat with the
brass star into it, rushed to ketch me,
and they bore me out NV the wigwam.

held the members together and pre-
vented tn e possibility Of trouble.

Northern delegation, witch had for
