comfortable in his presence but tied to
him by self-interest. ] saw comm
back. the good old times when thirty
four States met in convenshun' and let
eleven rule EN-, and ez l contemplated
the scene too wept, but it wuz in dead
earnest. |
"Wat are you blubberin for?" asked
enthusiastic delegate in front nv me
who wuz a swabbin his eyes with a
handkerchief.
SIN Postmaster sez |, "and must
do my dooty in this crisis. Wat are
yoo sheddin pearls for" retorted ], ''are
you Postmaster ?"
"No," sez he, "but | hope to be"
and he swabbed away with renood
vigger.
"Wat's the matter with the eyes NV
all the delegates ?" sez |.
They've all got Postoffises in en-"
sez he, and he worked away faster than
ever.
While gettin a fresh handkerchief,
(wich borrered from the hind coat pock-
ct NV delegate near ME, aud wich by
the way, in my delirious joy, forgot to
say anythin to him about it,) l looked
over the Convenshun, and again the
teers welled up from my heart. My
sole wuz full ard overhowin, and slop-
ped over at the eyes. There before me,
sat that hero Dick Taylor and Cuth
Bullitt, and there wuz the Nelson's and
Yeadons and the representatives NV the
first families NV the South, and in Pull
ADELpHIA AT A CONVENTION, with all the
leadin Democrats NV the North, ceptin
Vallandigham and Wood, and they wuz
skulkin around within call, with their
watchful eyes on the perceedns. Here
is prospeck! Here is fatnis The
President into our confidence! The
Postmaster runnin the Convenshun. !.
The bands a playin Dixie and the Star
Spangled Banner alternitly, so that no
body Good complain NV partiality, or
tell reely wich side the Convention wuz
on, or wich side it he'd been on in the
past. All! my too susceptible sole
filled up agin, the teers started, but that
vent wuznt enuff, and fell taintin onto
the floor. Twenty or thirty Northern
Delegates seed me fallin and ketchin
site NV the gray coat with the brass
star onto it, rushed to ketCh me and they
bore me out Nv the wigwam. Sed one:
"Wat techin scene OverpOwered by
his feelins ~ eyes," said another, "he
deserves a appintment J"
didn't 60 back to the Convenshun
coz knowed it want no yoose, and be-
sides, after all the teers he'd been shed,
the members wringin their hankerchers
onto the floor, it wuz sloppy under foot.
Cancellation and tenderness gushed out
NV EN-. | knowed it wood be all right
it couldn't be otherwise. There wuz
bonds wich held the members together
and prevented the possibility Nv trouble.
Johnson hevin ambition to head q
party, must hev party to head. The
Northern delegashun, wich he'd former

do nothin without the Democracy North,
and both on EN- combined couldn't do
nothin without the Democracy South.
The President Good depend on the
Democracy North, COZ he holds all the
ofiises the Democracy North Good de-
