Iwuz brot to Washington by dis
patch. His Eggslency he'd at last
determined to put his foot down-to
assert his power, and to take meas
ures sich ez wood bring to the top,
where they properly belong, that
large class Nv the citizeus Nv the Re.
public who wuz engaged in the little
onpleasantnis, wich the Ablishnists
took advantage NV to deprive EN- NV
their rites and to keep EN- from exer
cisin the infooence in the govern
ment they are, and alluz wuz, enti-
tied to. In short, ez Congress wuz
adjourned, and coodent, by no means,
be got together till November, the
President wuz convinced that it wuz
his dooty to improve his time, and
be RELY President.
The consultation over the Procla-
nation wuz long and painful. Binck-
ley, who is now runnin the govern
ment mostly, he'd written the where
ascs, which is the most NV the docu-
ment, Seward he'd he'd taild onto EN-
the Proclamation proper, which wuz
so small ez to give it tad-pole ap-
pearance, and it wuz to be discussed.
All Nv em wuz in favor Nv it but me.
Ez anxious ez / wuz to give that
blessid saint, Deekin Pogram, q
chance to wallop niger agin afore
he died, without bein interfered with
by bloc coated hirelin, l still hed a
dred. "Dare yoo," sed "gU rir-
ther in this biznisI Isn't imp.ach
ment at the end Nv it, eff you SIR up
this matter? And with Wade In the
Presidential chair-my God! Pol
lock wood hev my post offs! My
|liege, he'd a dream last night. Me-
thawt-" s .-r-
$50 on with the dream" sed his
Eggslency. "Go on and 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 interupshun preventid me
from narratin my dreem, SO l re-
soomd at the pint at wich / wuz in
terruptid. "And my opinion is the
opinion Nv all yoor appintees. The
offs holder is naturally Conserya
tive. Agitashen, my iege, mite
shake US out Nv our hope, our anker
and our cheefest trust"
And my remarks which l delivered
with tremblin voice and with teers
a rollin down my furrowed cheeks
1 felt the solemnity NV the occasion,
for wat Good / do eff turned out into
the cold at my age-wuz received
with peals Nv lafture. 1
"My deer sir !" sed A. j. "yoOr
innosence surprises me. Impeach
me! Never SO long ez filial and fam
lily love is distinguishin carakteris-
tic nv the leedin minds NV America
never SO long ez q senator hez a
nephew to provide for, or brother
who wants a place. All {! that love
of blood relashens [! Wat beauti-
full thing it is! And how strong is
the marriage relashen wich prompts
a man when he hez promised to love,
cherish and protect wife, to 60
cherishen and protectin all her broth
ers and her sisters children-the
love goin frekently, like leprosy, to
the third generashun. Thank the
Lord for it. Its my only holt! Set
yoor mind at eeze by peroozin these"
and he tost me a bundle NV letters
neatly done up and labelled Letters
from Radical Members Nv the H""so
and SENT"
A lite dawned onto me ez / open
ed the first one. 1t waz from a dis
tinguished Senator, and read, eZ
near ez | kin remember now, thus:
SENT CHAMBER.
March 6, 1867.
To the Observation-Disclosures
the Site difference Nv opinion that
may eggist between us on certin mi
nor questions Nv public policy, and
despite the unguarded expressions l
may hev indulged in in the heet NV
debate, 1 kin trooly say that l hev
ever cherished the most endOorin
faith in the recitood NV yoor inten-
shuns, the honesty NV yoor motives.
1 hev nephew in my State who de-
sires the posishen Nv Assessor NV
Internal RevenOo. He is capable
and honest, and while he hez alluz
voted the Republican ticket, he hez
dnn it so mildly ez not to be objeck-
shenable to those who differ with him.
Indeed, last fall he wuz accoosed,
and perhaps justly, NV votin for a
for Congress who wuz a
supporter NV yoor policy wich, tho l
do not in all respecks accept, hez, 1
must acknowledge. many pints in 1t
to recommend it to a discriminatin
people. l shood esteem his nomina-
shen persnal favor.
With sentimence nv the most
profound respect and esteem ~
