PosT OFFS, CoNFEDR1r X ROADS, !
(Wich is in the Stait Nv Kentucky,)
September 10, 1867.
l wuz brOt to Washington by q des
Ipatch. His Eggslency he'd at last de.
termined to put his foot down-to as
4 sert his power, and to take measures
sich ez wood bring to the top, where
they properly belong, that large class
luv the citizens Nv the Republic who
Wuz engaged in the little unpleasant
mis-, Wich the Ablishnists took advant-
age NV to deprive them NV their rites
and to keep EN- from exercisin the in
fiOOence in the government they are,
and alIuz wuz, entitled to. In short,
ez COngris wuz adjourned, and cOodent,
by no means, be got together till No
| vember, the President wuz convinced
that it wuz his dooty to- improve his
time and be really President.
The consultation over the Proclama-
ton wuz long and painful. BinckIey,
who is now running the government
mostly, he'd written the whereases,
| witch is the most Nv the document,
Seward he'd tailed onto EN- the Proc
lamation proper, wich wuz so small ez
to give it a tad-pOle appearance, aud
it wUz to be discussed. All NV EN-
wuz in favor NV it but me. Ez anx-
liOUs ezs / wuz for the liberashiOn NV
our friends in the Southern States; ez
anxious ez 1 wGz to give that blessed
saint, Deekin POgram, a chance to
wallOpa nigger agin afore he died,
without bein interfered with by a
bloo-coated hirelin, still he'd dread.
"Dare yoO," sed 1, ego further in this
bizniss? +? Isn't impeachment at the
end Nv it, ef 700 stir up this matter =?
And with Wade in the Presidential
chair-my God! Pollock wood hev
my post offs! My liege, I he'd a
dream last mite. Methawt-"
eGo on with the Dream" sed his
Eggslency. "GO on, and 1 will be
yOOr Joseph to interpret it."
''Kin 700 assOom the caracter Nv
Joseph and carry it out" sed Ran
dali, "With Mrs. Cobb in Washing
ton ?''
This inteTrupshun preventid me
from narratin my dream, so 1 resOOm-
ed at the pint at wich 1 wuz interrupt
id. "And my opinion is the opinion
NV all yOOr appintees. The offs holder
is materially a conservative. Agita-
ton, my liege, might shake US out NV
our places. On yOO we hang-yoO
are our hope, our anker and our
cheefest trust"
And my remarks, wich I delivered
with tremblin voice and with teers a
rollin down my furrowed cheeks-I
felt the sOlemnity Nv the ocllashun,
for wat Good 1 do eff turned out into
the kOld world at my age?-wus re-
ceeved with peels Nv laffture.
"My deer STRIP sed A. J., ''yOor in
nosence surprises me. Impeach me-!
Never so long ez filial and family luve
is distinguishin Characteristic Nv the
Ieedin minds NV America-never, so
long ez a Senator hez a nephew to pro
vide for, or a brother who wants a
place. All that luve NV blood rela-
shuns! Wat boOtiful thing it is !!
And how strong is the marriage rela-
shun wich prompts man wen he hez
promised to lUve, cherish and protect
a wife, to go cherishin and prOtectin
all her brothers and sisters children
the luve goin frekently, like leprOsy,
to the third generashun. Thank the
Lord for it. It's my only holt! Set
yoOr mind at eeze by perOOzin these, !"
and he tOst me a bundle Nv letters
neeuy dun up and labelled, "Letters
from Radicle Members NV the House
, and Senit."
A lite dawned onto me ez I opened
the first one. It wuz from a distin-
guished Senator and read, ez near ez 1
kin remember now, thus:
SENT CHAMBER, March 6, 1867.
To the -Notwithstandin
the Site difference NV opinion that
may egzist between us on certain
minor questions Nv public policy, and
despite the unguarded expressions 1
may hev INDUCED in in the heet Nv
debate, I kin troOly say that 1 hev
ever cherished the most endOOrin
faith in the rectitood NV yoor inten-
shuns, the honesty Nv yoOr purposes
and the purity NV yoor motives. 1
hev nephew in my Stait who desires
the posishen NV Assessor Nv Internal
! lRevenoo. He is capable and honest,
] and while he hez alluz voted the Re
publican ticket, he hez dun it so mild
tly ez not to be Obieckshenable to those
|. who differ with him. Indeed, last
fall he wuz accooSed, and perhaps
, Justly, NV vOtin for q candidate for
: ICongris who wuz a Supporter NV yOOr
policy, wich, tho do not in all re-
: spects accept, hez, I must acknOwl-
! ledge, many pints in it to rekOmend it
to a discriminatin peepel. 1 shOOd es-
TEEN his nominashen a peTsnal favor.
q With sentimence Nv the most pro-
, found esteem, remain admirinly
; yOOrs, .
d P. S. It is, I trust Unnecessary for
me to state that 1 regard all PrOjecks
Nv impeachment ez wild, visionary,
Unnecessary and dangerous, and no
sich projeck kin ever receive my sup
