Snnn returns wood Indicate to any man uN ordinary intelleck that there wuz distille ries either in Connecticat or very handy tc the State, but there WIZ no Post Offises to spare. To carry the State every wun o1 em had bin solemnly promised. The President remarked that he reely shoodn't think that trihin circumstance would interfere with g4vin uv em to other men.
 At this pint i broke in. told em firmly that onless l cood hev better post offs than the wun hed woodent go. I cood go and cood move wat there is of the Col. lege bildins. It woodent cost much to pay freight on that corner stun. spose a bet, ter one could be got in Connecticut at less than the cost of transportin it, but wherever that Dimocratic College is built that must be the corner stun of it. That stun is half oed. There are tender assosiashuns hang in round it. It wuz the corner stun uv a nigger school house wich we burnt to the ground the nite we heard uv the veto uv the Civil Rites bill But l won't go to Coz necticut onless my subsistence is asshoored. Ther is more money ther than in Kentucky, but 1 doubt whether they would support me ez well. I speek frankly. I kin un- derstand why man kin be Dimocrat in Kentucky-he's interested in niggers. l kin appreciate the Dimocrisy uv Suthern Injeany. Illinois and Ohio, coz they come from that region, and the sekond genera shun aint got to be voters. l kin under stand the Dimocrasy in Morrissy's and Fernando Woods districks, but pardon mel want to keep very clear of Connect icut Dimocrats. A people anywhere in Moo England which kin deliberately sell | theirselves to Us is jist the kind nv people don want to be among. 1 instinctively mistrust Yankee who dickered away his interest in Bunker Hill. 1 hev notist that Moo Englander wich come South and married an old maid, or a wldder with a Dlantashen, wuZ never to be trustid, and it's my experience that e demoralizsd Yan- kec-one who hez shed his early trainin and the meanest specimen uv a white man on the face uv the green earth.

A Noo En- glander unrestrained by grace is pizen, and I bleeve Connecticut is full uv em. I hev allus bin thankful that the Mayhower brot over religion ez we'll ez brains and will,
 Among the Connecticut Dimocrasy l shood stand no show, and beside, l hev too much self-respeck to sociate with em on terms uv equality. hev lambs to sheer in Kentucky, and I don't care about changin em. I don't want to throw any cold water onto this festiv occashun, it bein element we all despise, but hev we enny ashoorence uv her continooin troo? Elf 1 understand it, we won by means uv patronage, and runnin War Demicrat, bein l, in com mon with all the troo Dimocrisy despise. We can t do 1t agin. The next blast that sweeps from the North will bring a story uv another kind. One swallow don't make 8 spring-I hev knowed uv calves bein born with two heds. This elecshun, I fear me, is one uv these monstrosities wich nacher sometimes prodooses to show what she is capable rv It aint normal. l hev no ob- jecshun to your feelin good over tit re- 1 ioict me, because it will give our friends at the South courage, and may skeer the Rad icals into givin us better terms, but"
 My remarks wus interrupted by Saulsbu- ". who he'd bin sureptitiously drinkin punch with the ladle, and the odor uv the onions overcomin him he rolled under the table, and very shortly thereafter the meet in broke up. I leave home to-morrer, or es soon cs l kin draw my mileage.
