desprtly, the Presidents face lighted
up. He rendered him thanks for the
resepshen. He woodent undertake to
conceal emoshens which agitated him
at this persenel welcome upon the soil
NV Massachusetts, 1t wuzn't necessary
to 60 inter the history Nv Massachusetts
ez he wuz in the habet NV doin further

ez familyer with it ez he wuz, but he

remarks tetchin the preservation NV these
States, trust may say WITHOUT ego

more singularly free than myself, yield

marks on the Rooshen purchis and the

Randall pulled at his cote tale, when
the President remarkt that he might say
without egotism that he didn't desire to
make a speech, and stopt. We brought
him off in comparatively good order.
We stop at the fremont House. It
is a good hotel tho the walters ought to
be Aferkins. It's soothin to a troo Dim
ekrat to be waited on by a nigger Yoo
can cuss nigger waiter, but put a white
man in that posishen and yoo feel a del
icacy about it. When we retired, the
President insisted that | shood sle2p
lyin across the doorway NV his room.
"Why 2" asked /.
81 am in Boston" replied he, "wher
they stun the eprophets. Boston dislkes
me. Boston hez to-day a smilin face
but wat kind Nv hart does that smilin
face conceal? Sumner lives In Boston,
and so does Phillips-in Boston they
elect niggers to the Legislacher, and are
tryin to stop the sale NV whisky. Wot
kind Nv a place is that for a Dimekratic
President to trust himself into? Yoo
sleep across my doorway, and eff a band
NV AbliShnists, deemin me their foe,
shood strive to enter, they wood hev to
flesh their daggerS in your body first
Meanwhile | wood escape. You Good
by preparin beforehand a few impressive
last words, make a gorjus death NV it
and do the coz good. For instance, ez
Sumner struck yoo, 700 bood gasp,
"Slay me, but spare a, j., the hope NV
the Republic" Or, ez Wilson struck
700 down with a bludgeou, 700 mite
excaim, 81 die willinly for the Consti-
tooshen with 3} stars onto it." Any
little quotashen from any NV my
speechs, joodiciously throwd in, under
sich circumstances wood do good, Yoo
will sleep ther to night, and remember,
III case yoo are called upon TO die, the
proper quotashens."
Seward concurred, but Randall OBJ
jectid. Eff Boston wants to git rid Nv
the President they hev shorter way
than assassinashen. Rash politshuns
only assassinate them wich they can't
find cause to impeach. But he wuzn't
afraid NV Boston. We stood a better
chance NV dying of excessive hospitality
in Boston than NV bein stabbed. Our
stomachs mite protrude in Boston, but
our bowels never Boston wood feast
us, for ther are enuff men IN Boston
who want posishen to keep US goin q
year or two. He feared dyspepsia
more than daggers, and he'd no fears Of
the wine bein pizened.
Nevertheless | wuz forst to sleep in
that posishen, wich l did, wakin up in
the mornin ez sore and stiff ez plow
hoss. don't know how far the trip
will be extended
