Step by steptl am assendin thelsddcr
uy falne-step BY step I am clinbinto a
proud eminenee. Three weeks ago !
wuz Summoned TO Washinton by that
enlinently CRATE and good man, Androo
johnson, to attend a consultation ez to
the proposed Western tour, wich wuz
to be undertaken for the purpose Nv
afousin the masses NV the West to a
sence NV the danger wich wuz thretnin
NV em in case they persistedin central
izin the power nv the government into
the hands Nv. a Congress, iustid of diff
fusiR it throughout the hands NV one
man, wich is A.. johnson. ! got there
too late to take part in the first NV the
discussion, When aTove they he'd
everything settled, ceptin the appint-
ment Nv a Chaplain for the excursion.
The President insisted upon my film
that position, but Seward objected. He
wanted Beecher, but Johnson wuz in
hexibly agin him. 81 am determined"
SEE he, "to carry out my policy, but |
hey some bowels left, Beecher hez done
enough already, considerin the pay he
got. No! no. he shell be spared this
trip--indeed he'shel" .ft..
every good" said Seward, "but at
least find some clergyman who endorses
us without hevin z. NJ. to his honored
name. 1t wood look better"
81 know it wood y replied Johnson,
''but where kin we find sich a one! !
hep swung around the entire circle and
hevn't ez yet seen him. Nasby it must
be-" ,---r --.
There wuz then a lively discussion ez
to the propriety before the procession
started, of removin all the Federal offs
holders on the proposed route, and APP
pintin men who believed in us John
son Beecher and me, that we might be
shoor NV sootable recepshun at each
pint at witch we wuz TO stop. The an
nointed wuz in favor NV it. Sez he,
them ez won't support my policy shan't
eat my bread and butter. Randall and
Doollttle chimed in, for it's got to be a
part OF their religion to assent to what
ever President sez, but | mildly pro-
tested.
s"Most High" sez I, "a settin hen
wlch is lazy makes no fuss&-cut its head
off, and it hops about for awhile lively
Lincolns offs holders are settin hens.
They don't like yoo nor yoour policy,
but while they are on their nests they
will keep moderitly quiet. Cut of their
heads an they will spurt their blood in
your face. Ez to bein enshoored of
reception at each point, you need fear
nothin. Kalkerlatin moderately, there
are at least rs or 80 patriots who feel a
call for every offs in your disposal. So
long, your highnis, ez them offisis is
held just where they kin see EN-, and
they don't know wich is to git EN-, yoo
may depend upon the entire enthoosi-
aSm Nv each, individyooally and collect
lively. In short, ef there's oflises in a
town and yoo make the appointments,
yoo hev sekoored a supporters-till yoo
make the appointments yoo hev the
hundred who expect to get en-"
The President agreed with me that
until after tho trip the gullotine shood
stop.
Secretary Seward sejested that a clean
shirt would improve my personal ap-
pearance, and akkordingly q cirkular
wuE sent to the clerks in the Depart
ments, assassin EN- for that purpose.
Sich NV em ez refoosed to contribute
their quota wuz instantly dismissed for
disloyalty.
Az last we started, and | must say
we wuz got up in highly concilatory
style. Every wun of the civilians NV
the party wore buzzum pins, ct settry,
wich wuz presented to EN- by the South
erh delegates to the Philadelphia Con-
vention, wich wuz made NV the bones
Nv Federal soldiers wich he'd fallen ut
various battles. Sum Nv en- wuz par
tiklerly valuable ez anteeks, hevin bin
made from the bones NV the fust SOL
diors who fell at Bull Run
The Moo York recepshun wuz a gay
affair. / never saw His Imperial High
ness in better spirits, and he delivered
his speech to better advantage than !
ever heard him do it before, and | be-
lieve I've heard it hundred times,
We left Moo York sadly. Even now
ez | write the remembrance NV that pur-
ceshun-the recollecshun NV that ban
quet fingers around me, and the taste
Nv them wines is still in my mouth
But we he'd to go. We bed mishun
to perform, aud we put ourselves on
steamboat and started. w..
ALBANY.--There wuz immense
crowd, but the Gar Nv all the Amerikas
didn't git orf his speech here. The
Governor welcomed him, but he well
coined him ez the Cheef Magistrate Nv
the nashen, and happened to drop in
Lincoln's name, That struck a chill
over the party, and the President got
