the precedins Here is a prospeck. Here
is fatuisl The President into our con-
fdence. The Postmaster runnin the |
Convention. The bands playin Dixie |
and the Star Spangled Banner alternltly, |
so that nobody Good complain nv par
TALLY or tell RELY wich side the Conven-
ton wuz on, or witch side it had been on
in the past. All. my too susceptible sole
filed up agin, the teers started, but that
vent wuzent enuff, and fell faintin onto
the floor. Twenty or thirty Northern
delegates seed me fallin, and ketchin site
NV the gray coat with the brass star on
to it, rushed to ketch me and they bore 4
me out of the wigwam SEED one: Wat
teechin scene, Overpowered by his feel
inse Yes sed another, 'he deserves
apintment.
l didn't go back to the Convenshun
COZ / knowd it wont no yoose; and be-
sides, after all the teers that had been
shed, the members wringin their hand
kerchers onto the floor, it wuz sloppy I'M
defoot. Cancellation and tenderness
gushed out Nv en- i knowd it would be
all rigl.t-it couldn't be otherwise. There
wuz bonds which held the members to-
gether and prevented the possibility NV
trouble johnson heven a ambition to
:
The Northern delegashun, wich he'd for
merly actid with the Ablshnists couldn't
do nothin without the Democracy North
and both on EN- mbined couldn't do
nothin without the Democracy South
The President Good depend on the De
mocracy North coz he holds the Offices
the Democracy North Good depend on
the President coz he must hey ther votes
the President Good depend on the De-
mocracv Sout coz they want him to make
a fight agin a Abolishin Consris, wict is
a unconstooshnelly keepin Nv EN- out and
preventin EN- from wholiopin their mig
gers, the Democracy South Good depend
on the President coz he must
hey their Representatives in their
seats to beat the Abilishnists in
Congris - all Good depend on all
each Good depend on the other, coz each
faction or ruther'each stripe had its lit
tie private axe TO grind wich it coodent
do without the others to turn the grind
stone.
/ The Southern delegates some on EN-
wuznt so well pleased. What in thun-
DER scd one nv em, Ibid they mean
by pilin on the agony over the Yanks
we killed.-by pledgin on us to give up
the lice NV secession, and by pledgin
debt?'
"Shr' sed /, "easy over the rough
places NY friend, they didn't mean it,
or eff they did, we didn't Is oath so
hard to bread? Would it trouble that
eminent patriot Breckenridge, after all
the times he swore to support the Con
stitution, to sware it wunst more? and
would it trouble him to break 1T any more
than it did in 81? Nay, verify. Dismiss
them gloomy thots. Vallandigham WIZ
kicked out but thousand mules, and all
NV them old and experienced, cooden't
kick him out NV orr service. Dooittle
talked Northern ia K COZ its a habit he
got into doorin the war. but he'll git over
it. RAYMOND will be on our side this
year, certain, for last year he wuz agin
us, and by the time he is ready to turn
agin he III be worn ont to so small a pint
that he won't he worth hevin, and the
Democracy NV the North WIZ alluz ourn,
and eff they wuzzent, the offices johnson
hez in reserve will draw EN- like lode
stone
..My deer sir, l wanst knowd :, Irish
man, who WIZ senoe killed in Fenian
raid, employed as a artist in well diggin.
1t wuz his lot to go to the bottom NV the
excavation and load the buckets with
earth The dinner horn sounded and he
with the alacfity characteristic NV the
race, sprang into the bucket and told EN-
to hist away, and they histed, but ez they
histed they amoozed themselves drop
pin earth onto him. 'Shtop! sed he.bu
they didn't. "Shtop. said he "or be
CORA, I'll cut the rope My dear sir,
Randall, and Doolittle, and Seward, and
! Johnson are histin us out ov the pit we
fell into in 1860. Their little talk about
slavery and sich. is the earth they drop
pin onto US Cor fun, but shell we like eje
OTIS cut the rope? Nary Let EN- hist
and when we'r safe out and on solid
ground, we kin, eff we desire, turn and
! chuck EN- into the hole"
All went off satisted-the Northern
men, for they carried home with EN- thei
commishuns-I feelin that my Post Of
fee wuz sekoor, tor eff, with the show
we've got. we can't re elect Johnson, TIT
glory of the Democracy aas departed IN
deed.
