(Which is IN the Stait NV Kentucky
August 6, 1868.
Ef the Amerikin Eagle is in the habit Nv
screemin at Democrat victories, she kin now
test her capacity to the fullest extent.
The election in Kentucky resulted more
gloriouser than ever we had anticipated.
Eighty thousand majority is big thing,
and we knowd it, but we felt that the eye of
the Dimocrisy was onto US, and we did our
level best. We wanted to inspire the Dim
ocrisy Nv the North; to set EN- a example in
fact wich would awakin in EN- emulashun.
The election at the Corners wuz the same
ez the others in the State, so in writin the
history Nv the wun I am writin the history
Nv ALL
We held a series Nv meetins, ali Wich,
With the exception NV Elder Pennibacker' S
obstinacy, WIZ harmonious and effective.
Gov. Seymour letter Wuz a great help to
US. l he'd been afraid that he mite say
suthin in it wich wood bother US, but when
l got it l exclaimed halleloogy! He hedn' t
sed thing He hedn'i techd any Nv the
questions at ishoo, and consekenty coodn t
give no offence to nobody. Bascom took it
and swore that be Buz satisfied from readin
it in connection With his Cooper Instoot
speech that he was in favor Of payin the
bonds in gold, while Peanibaeker WIZ quite
as well satisfied from readin it in conneck-
shun with the platform and Perldleton' S
speeches, that he wuz in favor Nv payin the
bonds in greenbax They got to dispoot
in over it, and referred the matter to me.
Imitatin Seymoor, never sed word about
bonds and greenbax, but went OFF into 3
most alokent denunsiashun nv Joodis lska-
riot It's always safe to aboooze Judis, ez
there amt nobody nowhere to defend him.
Butt sed they in korus, does he per-
pose to pay the bonds in gold or greeubax?''
Smiling benignantly onto EN-, ez Seymour
did at the ConvenshuD, replide in these
words; my friends-for you are my
friends, let US eonfne ourselves to Twin
ishoos Let me ask 700 ez patriots, and
men who hey the best interests Nv the
country at hart, do goo rant yooT daughters
to marry niggersZ
"Never !" sed they, strikin tables, ''ney-
er T and they rushed out into the street,
holerin 'Rsh for Seymour !"
Sich porshens Nv the letter, however, ez
fitted our case red to EN-. That paragraff
into wich he bewails the condishun NV men
like US at the Corners, Eieh be styles the
intelligence Nv the South, Kernel MePelter
and / read to every one at the Corners, we
bein all wich kin read; and the paragraff
in which he denounces the men who assert
that Union men amt permitted to live in
peeee in the South / red the first time to
twenty or thirty Nv our people Eich he'd jist
returned from a raid onto the settlement nv
Abolitionists over on the Pike Run. Young
Issaker Gayitt wuz so effected that he shed
tears, Wipin his eyes with Handkerchief he
took from the body nv Yoonun man wich
he he'd jist shot in the presence Nv his fam
ily, wieh refoozed to leave the settlement.
The eleekshun went of magni6cently.
Never did | see in all my experience, Rich

ton made Bascom's bar was made free.
Deekin Pogram, Kernel McPelter and my
self, one Nv wich holds Government offs,
aud tho other two expects 20, had bari Nv

Pennibacker, NOTWITHSTANDING bis disaFeck-
