Sept 20, 1858
AM sometimes gloomy and dispondent,
and never more so than now. To me the
skies Is dark TO me the clouds Is lowerin,
and the prospex gloomy. First, the
crops is agin us. Wat we wantid to make
ashoorance doublv shoor wuz a jolly fail
yoor NV crops. He'd the wheat failed in
Ohio, lnianny and Illinoy-hed ther pota.
toes rotted in ther fields, and the corn
come to naught we Good hev carried
them States easy, For it's the nacher NV
men to charge up evrything from a theev-
IN postmaster TO the faiiyoor NV corn-the
tirst the most tritlin, and the latter lin
view ot its etfeck on the price nv likker)
the most stupenius evils witch kin affeck
mankind-thcy charge everything NV this
kind up TO the account NV the party in
power, and then vote agiu EN-. When
mistorchoon waves her red flag in ther
faces, they charge agin It like the bull,
never thinlNin NV the drawd steel witch is
behind to receive EN-. My ofllshl exist
ence is u drawd steal.
But Providence is agin us now, ez in
the past. Providence hez a most aggra.
vatin knack nv comm in Jest at the proper
time for the Republican party. Here wuz
a preshure in meney matters, in conse.
kence NV short crops for years-we stept
in and offered q cure in the shane of un-
limited ishoo NV greenbax, but, alas lest
ez the dose wuz bein swallered the crops
lntertered, givin everybody all the green
baX they wanted, and maxim it to the in
terest NV everybody not to hcv any more
anoat for fear twood depreshate them wich
they he'd, and at one stroke this plank
wuz knockt out from under u.s.
1t is my opinion that we'd better drop
our tinanshel policy. AT all events we
he'd better let the Pendleton lice die out
IN the West and substitute Seymore's for
u in that secshun. 1t don't make much
difference wat we do in the East ez ther
amt none NV us ther anyhow, witch is
forchnit, ez it mite complicate matters.
Its my opinyun that Pendleton isn't much
NV statesman anyhow.
Another thing that's workin agln us is
Blare. His redness NV face and cheerful
convtvality does much for us in Ken
lucky wher we don't want help, but good
HeYins how it tells agin us in the close
states whcr we 10 need help. His Brod-
he'd letter scots us nv Kentucky; but in
Moo York wher our people hev business
and want peece it hez made them skeery.
IL is my opinion that we'd better drop
Blare
Ez to rcconstruckshon, that isn't lest ca

It's my opinion we'd better drop extrav
agance.
Taxes he'd joocy look, but good Lord
the people ansered us, sayin, Ef the deb

pay ity' It's payin the taxes that hurts
not the politics NV the party wich taxes u
and ez our people don't pay taxes as
rool, they don't thrill much over taxes.
It's my opinion that we'd better droI
taxes.

the beginnin, till the poor men and farm
ers diskivered that they were payin scarce
ly nothin on their houses, wagons anC
cows, while the rich cusses wuz carryir
the load. Ez soon ez they made this dis
kivery they concluded they didn't want
ckal taxashun so much, and they turned
agin us.
It's my opinion we had better drop eka
taXashun.
Repudiashun looked well cnufI, but tina
want no go. We started out with it, bu
alars, we found most every body he'd bonds
and everybody he'd greenbax. The bond
holders woodent consent to repoodiatiI
the bonds, and the greenbax holders sed
EFF we commence at bonds why shood W,
not come to greenbax ?" And SO tina
split.
Its my opinion we he'd better drop re
pudiashun.
