In the State Of Georgia. says he,
iirrc,ly.
"ln n state of uncertainty about thar"
says l. we don't know whether Georgia
rs q State or not / would Ike for you to
state yourself if you know. The state Of
the country requires that this matter should

said that n State couldn't secedr, but that

"Wdl, sir" says he. are you familiar with
the political sentiments of the citizens OF
your Statel'
"Got no citizens yet sir, that we know Of

"Wel, sir" says he, "I'll humor your

Don't speak Of it rs State sir if you

mr. Arp, are the people Of your seet'oa
sufficiently humble and repentant to come
back into the Union on such terms as we
may think proper to impose 7"

to you, gentlemen, but was sworc to tell the
truth Our people ant uolicn' you only
out of curiosity. They don't expect my

| you, and they've gone 10 work diggin' aud
plowin' and raisiu' boy children"
Right here the man with memorandum
scratched down n earbpd extract, and old
Boutwell, says he; "What do you mean hy
that sirl What inference do you intend 2"
"lm Stain mcts," says l. you must
draw your own differences. They are n
raisn' boy children. ANY harm about thatl
Can't man raise boy childrenl Perhaps
you'd like TO amend the Constitution aud

the lsraclites, but it didn't pay. He finally
caught the dropsy in the Red Sea We are
raising boy children for the fun of It. They
are good thing 10 have in the house, as
Mrs Toodles would say
MIR. Arp, are not the feelings Of your
people very bitter toward the Nouhl"
Il beg your pardon, sir, but youll have
to split the question: or else I'll split the
answer. Our people have a very high re-
gard for honorable men, brave men, noble
hearted men, and there's heap Of 'em
North, sir, aud there's a heap Of widows and
orphans that we're sorry for bat as for this
here Radical party, they look upon 'em like
they was hyenas scratchin' up the dead for a
livin' Its as natural to hate EN- rs it is
to kill a snake. 1t is utterly impossible for
me 10 tell the strength and length aud
heighth, depth and breadth Of their con.
tempt for that party. They look upon a
Radical as-as-as-wcl as btggar on
horseback "A buzzard sailiu' round a dead
ragle---a suok-egg dog creepin' up to the tail
6f a dead lion. They talk about HMM /
Browuow 10 abuse 'em, 10 use language on

spoke against Pynr. If they do hire
BroVnlow he'll spatier 'em, he'll daub 'em |
all over, and slime EN- and slobber 'em
about right. and il will stick, for the pores
are open aud their morals spongy. I'd like
To STAND of about ten rods aud hear him
spread himself Il would be worse than a
squirt-gun tull Of COW sop, and have no
doubt would give general satisfaction"
That's suHicirnt. sir" says old Boutwell,.
IF 1t was IN their power TO do SO would
Your people renew the igh' r
