He tsudered him thanks for the

lup. He rendered him thanks for the
resepshun. He woodent undertake TO
conceel emoshens Wich agitated him at
this persenel welcome upon the soil Nv
Massachusetts,. 1t wuznt nscessary for
him to go into the histry nv Massa-
choosits ez he wuz in the habit Nv doin
further South, ez those afore him wuz
probably ez familyer with it ez he wuz,
but ne would ashoor EN-, for ther en-
couragement, that the histry of Mas
achoosits in conneckshun with the
histry Nv these States heZ become
a part Nv the histry Nv the country,
and therefore in Visitin Massachusetts
under sich pekoolyer circumstances it
is pekoolyerly gratifyin to receive sich
welcome.
In regard to yoor remarks techin the
preservation Nv these States, trust /
may say without eg0tism, vice which
hev never been accused Nv, and from
which may say no one is more singerly
free than myself, 1 yield to no patriot liv-
in or dead in my deveshen 10 that purpose.
L dislike speel1n ez kin trooly say that
am not lOquashus, but when trooth
MACA 4 lOhN1 anu tic LtALAo1 Nv AAL4dAAAkl
wich tie to, is at stake hev spoke. 1
may say without egotism that I live for
principle and 1 thank the people Nv Mas
sachOosetts wich hez drawd to Boston for
the outburst by regard wieh greets me-
Without egotism l may say It's outburst
exalted by few and exeelled by none ever
given a President nv the Yoonited States
or elsewhere, and it is my prayer that
comm in contact with me will do the peo-
pie Nv Boston good. Yoor remarks, not
referrin directly to me, on the Rooshn
purchls and q more economical oollecshin
nv the internal revenue, also meets my
eorjel approbashen, lovin ez do my COM
mon country"
Randall pulled at his coat tail, when
the President remarkt that he might say
without egotism that he didn't desire to
make speech, and stopt. We brought
him OFF in comparatively good order.
We stop at the fremont House. It is a
good hotel, and the walters are as they
ought to be, niggers. Its soothin TO a
trOo Dimekrat to be waited on By mig
ger. Yoo kin damn a Niger waiter, but
put white man in that posishen and 700
feel delieasy about it. When we retired
the. President insisted that I shood sleep
lyin across the doorway nv his room.
"Why?" asked /.
s'I am in Boston, replied he, ''wher
they stun the. prophets. Boston dislike;
me. Boston wears to day smilin face,
but wat kind NV hart does that smilin
face conceal? Sumner lives in Boston,
and SO does Phihps-in Boston they elect
niggers to the Legislacher. Wot kind oi
a place is that for Dimekra tic President
TO trust hlsself into? YOo sleep across my
doorway, and if q band Nv Ablishinists,
deemin me to be their foe, shood strive to
enter, they wood first have to sheath their
daggers in yoOr body. Meanwhile wood
escape, and continyoo to live for my loyd
country. YOo Good, BY preparin before
hand few impressive last woIds, make q
gorjus death Nv it and do the cause good.
For instance ez Sumner stuck 700, yoo
Good gasp, ..'Slay me, but spare A. j., the
hope Nv the Republic" Or, ez Wilson
struck VOC down with 8 bludgeon, yoo
mite exelalm, ''I die wilIinly for the Con-
stitooshun with SO stars onto it." Any
little quotashun, from any nv my speech
es, ioodishusly throwd in, under sich cir
cumstances, wood do good. YOo will
sleep there tonight, and remember, IN
case yOo are called upon to die, the proper
quotasbuns.''
Seward concurred, but Randall objected,
He didn't anticipate any sieh danger. Ef
Boston wants to get rid Of the President,
they hev a shorter way than assassination.
Rash politihuns only assassinate them
wieh they can't find cause to impeach.-
But he wuzn't afraid Nv Boston. We
stood better chance Nv dyin Nv excessive
hospitality in Boston than Nv bein
stabbed. Our stomaehs mite protrude IN
Boston, but our bowls never. Boston
wood feast us, fur ther are enuf men IN
Boston who want posishun to keep US a
going year or TIVE He feared dyspepsia
more than daggers, and he'd no fears nv
the wine bein pizened.
Never theless was forst to sleep IN that
posishen, wieh 1 did, wsken up in the
ez sore and stuff ez q plow hoss.-
1 don't know how far the trip will be ex-
tended. PETROLEUM '. .NAsBT, P. N.
