ham wood second it. Forrest made q
speech and Randall endorsed it. Sew
ard and John Morrisey were on the
Committee on Resolutions, and Dick
Taylor and Cowan were occupyin one
seat. The resolutions were brief and to
the pint. They resolved that, Whereas,
there he'd bin a season NV unpleasant
ness In our national history wich, ow-
in to circumstances over wich nobody
he'd any control, extended over several
periods NV ninety days each; and,
Whereas, the unpleasantness resulted
from the two sections viewin things
each from its own standpoint, instead
NV yiewin things from the others
standpoint; and, Whereas, both parties
wuz highly in the wrong, partikerly
the North; and, Whereas, the South,
with q magnanimity unknown in his
tory, he'd thrown down her arms, and
wuz ready to resoom her old position in
the Government, nay more, to take
more than her old share in the trouble
NV runnin the Government; therefore
be it
RcsOEUcd, That we are for the Yoon-
yum eZ it wuZ.
ReSOLUed, That Congriss shood, ez
soon eZ it convenes, change the names
of Murfreesboro, Gettysburg, Atlanta,
Vicksburg, ct settry, to sIch names ez
SmithborO, BrOwnsburg, Jonesburg, ct
settry that the serious unpleasantness
which occurred Mt them places may be
remembered no more forever.
ReSOEUed, That the citizens NV the
Southern States which lost their lives
and legs, and sich, in the late unpleas-
antneSs wich heZ been referred to, ought
to be placed on the pension rolls the
same as the Northern citizens who suf-
fered likewise, and that the debt incur
red by the South in upholdin things ez
viewed from its stand pint, is entitled
to be paid the same ez the debt incur
red by the North in upholdin things ez
viewed from its stand pint.
Resolved, That as there should be
gushen condolences, we freely forgive
the hOnored Secretary NV State for the
too free use NV his little bell doorin
the late unplensantnis, believin that he
viewed things from his own stand pint
instead ofsomebody else's which alluz
causes trouble.
At this pint His Eggslencv, Andrew
Johnson, supported by Secretary
Wells on one side, and Vice President
Stephens on the other, with Buchanan
in front, and Toombs behind, entered
the hall. Sich a cheerin never heard.
Hats wuZ swung into the air, and
seats wuz torn up. Proudly they ad-
vanced up the isle, treading ez they
went onto portrait of Linkun, which
enthusiastic Connecticut delegate
tore from the wall and throwd before
ON. They took their position on the
stage, Gen Buell. holdin over EN- a
Federal flag. and Gen. Henry A. Wise,
NV Virginni, Confederate flag, both
wavin em to the music of two bands,
one playin Dixie and the other Yam
kee Doodle. .-l
At this pint methought the sperit NV
Washington tiOated into the hall and
for n minnit contemplated the counte-
nance NV President johnson. In my
dream heerd him murmur "there wuz
me and Adams and Jefferson and Mon
roe and sich, and then cum Fillmore
and Peerce and Bookannon, and good
God-Johnson! faughH' and notist
that George spit az tho suthin in his
mouth didn't taste we'll. In fact the
father NV his country looked sick, and
spreadin his wings the sperit moved
out Nv the hall, shakin the sperit dust
off NV his speeritool boots eS he shot
thro' the sky-lite.
There wuz then blank in my dream.
When resoomed was at the Postoffis
Department the next mornin. The
gullottin he'd commenced work and the
supporters NV the constitushun were
receivin their commissions ez postmas-
ters, eZ fast ez four hundred clerks could
make EN- out. Ez 1 pressed forward
Randall hisself give me mine. "Take
it, my venerable friend" seZ he, with
tears a gushing down his cheeks; "take
it. No more shall that Democrat in
your township who takes n paper re-
seve it contaminated by the touch NV
Ablishin radical"
At this critical pint awoke. Wood
that that dream waz reality. Will
only git that postoifis in a dream?
