There is the stamp with witch dates are put
onto letters, the cancelin stamp, and one or
| two other pieces Nv government property,
wich may possibly be made available for one
or two more days. Then there is a posi-
| bllity-a bare possibility-that some Nv our
| people NAV send letter containin a remit
lance to a gift enterprise; or some one
abroad may send money by mail to some one
at the Corners, in witch case | shell have
| supplies for longer period. But this is
mere straw to ketch at. Ez our people don't
read they are not apt to send money on the
| strength Nv advertisements, and besides
they amt got the money to send. Bascom

From this time out my life is prolonged

l shell go to Moo ork. In Moo York is a |
field pekoolyerly adapted to me. In Moo |
York aldermen and city ofishels go ez
mourners at the funerals NV prize fighters; |
in Moo York they elect gentlemen on skool |
boards wich are unable to write their
names; in Moo York John Morrissey wuz |
elected TO Congris, and in Moo York Sammy |
Cox got into posishen. In Moo York little |
Rem Wood is power, and Ferranay hez in |
fiooence. Looking at these things l feel |
that there is hope for me.
Financially, know that it is all right. |
In Moo York Their is fifteen millions per year |
to be stolen, and the facilities are SO magni- |
ficent ez to make Twin off the city nothin |
but luxurious easenis. When | WIZ there |
last and saw how easy it wuz RELY blush |
ed for my sex.
Politically it coodent be no better. The |
Dimocricy nv all the rest NV the country kin
be fetched, but our Irish fellow citizens Nv
New York are inVulnerable. They are
splendid men, and most consistent in their
Dimocriey. There is no people in the world
wich so Hove liberty none wich hey SIGH
determinashen that all men shell be free
ceptin, Nv course, n1ggers and Others wich
| don't agree with them. The hatred witch
the oppressed oMurphy bears to his En-
| glish oppressors is only ekaled by his de
| sire to hev niger wich he kin smash into
the dnst. There is in the Irish character
an invincible hatred Nv slavery-onless they
kin be the masters; and undyin love
| Nv ekality til they git on top. The Niger
is, however, their speciality. Ez there
| is thousands Nv niggers in Moo York, and eZ
| democracy in that city means KILN a mig
ger, there amt no danger Nv our even losia
that vote. Shood the Niger race run out,
| our party wood langwish, but IL wood only
| be for time. So important Is this idea to
us that the leaders NV the Dimocrasy would
| search the earth from the north pole to the
south to find some race wich the Moo York
Dimocrasy Good reasonably claim to be
sooperior to. don't know whether there is
SIGH race on the globe or not, but eff there
| is, 1t wood be found and imported, for SIGH
| q race we must hev. So long ez there's q
niger ther'il be Democrat.
At the Cross Roads there amt nobody to
tax; in MOO York the elements are better
mixed. The opulent merchants and biz
ness men nv that charmin city make a
million year apeece, and consent, like
gentle lambs, to be sheered NV two-thirds
NV 1t TO support some thousands Nv gentle
men who pay nothin. In Moo York we hey
suthin solid TO GO onto. Our majority can't
be disturbed, and those witch don't paw
taxes don't care how much them witch do
are taxed; and half NV them wich don't are
directly interested taxin them witch do.
The Captins NV the tens git their share; the
Captins NV the ffties and hundreds likewise,
only more so. And ez their force makes
the majority, Their amt no appeal from
this.
In Kentucky am dependent upon The
General Government--in Moo York they
would like TO hev the Fedral otfisis. for they
can't get too much, but Ell they don't hey EN-
they don't care very much. They only put
the suction closer on the city treasury. The
only reason why any biZnis men voted fol
