Step by step am assendin the ladder nv
fame-step by step am climbin to proud
emnence. Three weeks ago wuz sum
moned to Washington by that eminently
CRATE and good man, Androo johnson, to at
tend consultation eZ to the proposed
Western tour, witch wuZ to be undertaken
for the purpose NV arousin the masses NV
the West to seuce nv the danger wich
wuz LIN nv EN- i'll case they persisted
in centralizin the t;@3EEee1. nv the government
into the hands nv o Congress-, riiffS'Tii. NV
dlffush il throush hout the hands nv one
man, wich is johnson. got there too late
to take part in the first Nv the discussion.
When arrove they he'd everything settled
ceptin the appointment NV Chaplain Tor
the excursion. The President insisted up
on my 6lln that position, but Seward OBJ
jccted lie wanted Beecher, but Johnson
wuz inhexibly agin him. 81 am determ'
ined," sez he, " to carry out my policy, but
hev some bowles left. Beecher hez done
enuff already, considerin the pay he got.
No no he shel be spared this trip, indeed
he shell"
"Very good" sed Seward, E" but at least

81 know it wood" "replied Johnson. "buI
where kin we find sich q one? / hev
swung around the entire circle and heveu't
ez yet seen him. Nasby it must be"
There wuz then lively discussion ez to
the propriety before the procession started
of removin all the Federal offis-holders on
the proposed route, and appntin men who
believed in us, johnson, Beecher and me)
that we might be shoor NV sootable re-
cepshun at each pint at wich we wuz to
stop. The Annolnted wuz in favor NV it.
SEE lie, them ez won't support my pOlisy
shan't eat my bread and butter" Randall
and Doolttle chimed in, for it's got to be a
part of their religion to assent to whatever
the President seq, bat mildly protested
owe duty to the party and am deter.
mined to do it.
Most High" sez l. "a settn hen wich
is lazy makes no fuss-cut It's head off aud
it flops about for while lively. l.incoln's
olfis-holders are settin-hens. They dou'l
like yoo nor yoor policy, but while they are
on their nests they will keep moderately
quiet. Cut off their heads and they will
squirt their blood in yoor face. Ez to bein
enshUord of recepshun at each point, yoo
need fear nothin. Calkerlatin moderately
there are at least twenty-five or thirty pa
triots who feel a call for every oils in yoor
disposal. So long. Yoor llighns, ez them
oliisis is held Just where they kin see EN-
and they don't know wich is to git EN-, yoo
may depend upon the entire enthoosasm
nv each, individyoolly and collectively,
In short eff there's are olIisis in town
aud yoo make the appointments, 700 hev
sekoored supporters-till 700 mike the
appointments yoo hev tue hundred who
expect to git en-" =.
The President agreed with me that unit
after the trip the gullotine shood stop.
Secretary Seward sejestod that a clean
shirt wood improve my personal appear

foosed to contribute their quote wuz in
stantly dismissed for disloyalty,
