not to vote, I don't think we ought to
count the time. That's about as near
as | can come to the age, SIR" W 80
"Well, sir" says he, 'sare YOU ia
miliar with the political sentiments Of
the citizens Of your State % & a'"
"Got no citizens yet, sir, that we
know Of. / will thank you to speak of
us as people, =
"Well, sir" says he, sG'll humor
your obstinacy. Are the people of
your Statc"-
"Don't speak of it as State, sir.
if you please. Pm on oath now, and
you must excuse mo for being particu-
lar. Call it section"
"Mr. Arp, are the people of your
section sufficiently humbled and re-
pentant to come back into the Union
OF gu such, such terms n, as we may think proper
"Not much they amt" saws r. nI
don't think they are prepared for Il
yet. They wouldn't voluntarily go 1t
blind against your hand. They say
the deal wasn't fair, and you've mark
cd the cards and stole The trumps ::
but, at the same time, they don't' care
a darn what you do. They have be-
come Indifferent, and DONE care moth
in about your Guy Fawkes business.
l mean no respect to you, gentlemen,
but l was swore to tell the whole
truth. Our people aitit noticin YOU
only out of curiosity. They don't ex-
peet anything decent, or honorable, Or
noble, from you, and they've gone to
and raisin boy children.' feN
Right here the man with ."momo memo
randum scratched down a garBled ,eex ex.
tract, and old Boutwell,, SAYS he 4
as s2 x1a IN %eaa ySa ssna BH that sir
"Im statip facts" says +. 'sYou
must draw your own inferonces. They
are raising boy children, Any harm
about that? Any treason2 Can't q
man raise boy children Perhaps
you'd like to amend the Constitution
and stop'it. Old. Pharaoh tried to
stop it among the Israelites, but it
didn'tpay.. He finally caught the
dropsy in the Red Sea. We are rails rails
in boy children for the fun Of it.
They are good thing to have in the
house, as Mrs. Toodles would 'say."'
"Mr. Arp, are not the fccling Of
your people very bitter towards the
North. q" ~ >'t "''' ''"' W"
'sI beg your pardon, sir, but you'll
have to split the question, or else I'll
have to split the answer. Our people
have very high regard for honorable
men, brave men, noble-hearted men,
and. there's heap Of 'em North, sir,
and there's heap of, widows and or
phans there we are sorry for; but as
for this year radical party, they look
upon 'em like they were hyenas a
scratchin up the dead for livin.
It's as naturaIsto hate 'em as it is to
kill a. snakosotHt's utterly impossible
for me to tell the strength, and length,
and hight, depth and breadth of their
contempt for that party. They look
upon radical as---as---as--rwell, as a
begger on horseback---a buszard sail
III round dead eagle---a suck-ogg dog
creepin up to the tail off dead lion.
The talk about hirin BroWnlow to
abuse 'em; to use Language on 'om,
like he did o few years ago when he
spoke against Pryne. If thoy do hire
Brownlow he'll spatter 'em, he'll daub
'em all over, and slime 'em, and slob-
ber on 'em about right, and 1t will
stick, for the pores are open and their
morals spongy. I'd like to stand off
about ten rods and hear HIM spread
himself. 1t would be waEaA sthan q
squirt-gun full of cow-sloa, ard a have
no doubt would give generaisatisfac-
tion." s5a,.t. t,s,sf .ll,, .,,a.
