mornin, and to ashoor EN- it wuz al
a joke. The lists wuz destroyed and
the revolvers and shot guns wuz al

Resolred, That a committee Nv two

Resolred, That if he is ever goin

At this pint another dispatch came

and l passt it to the President

Lord for Kentucky.
They don't do johnson justice
down there tho. He wood help EN-

tied his hands. He kin appint this
man or that man, but both this man
and that man are bound to eXecoot
