July 13, 1865
didn't stay in Moo York till the Conven
| shun adjourned, for n most exsellent reeson
to wit, viz; my money run out. The Mile
sian female with whom wuz forst to boart
required payment in advance, and NV coors,
under sch an arrangement there wuz moth
ing left fur me but to succum. The lcngtl
NV my stay redoost itself to a mere matte
NV money. tried the borrowin dodge ant
the cheekin dodge, but good Lord wha
could do with an entire Convenshun, al
nv 'em more or less tryin to live in the same
way? | left and come home while Good
and before it WIZ everlastinly too late.
When left spozed there wuz no doub
NV the nominashcn NV Pendleton. The
"yeung eagle Nv the West " he'd received
l55 votes, and wuz gainin, and Seymort
he'd declined so often and SD persistently
that going back on my yoosual disbelief in
these fellers, hevin declined great many
offices myself that wanted, l reely beleev-
ed the cuss in earnist, and saw nothing that
Good stand between Pendleton and success.
On arrivin at the Corners found that in
tense anxiety was manifested by the citizens
thereof. They were all gathered at Bas-
CONS discussin the matter when hove in
site on a mule wich he'd borrowed at Se-
cessionvlle to ride over onto.
''Who is it?" asks Deckin Pogram, ketchin
the mule by the bride. "Who is il, and wat
principles hev we got to support this fall p
Pendleton and greenbax," shouted 1.
Pcndleton, the young eagle uy the West,
who is opposed to the bloated aristocratic
bond holders, wich wood crush us labrin
men into the dust. Pendleton, who believes
that ef greenbax is good enuf for us honest
labrin men, they are good enuff for the aris-
tocrat, who, like the King in the nursery
rhyme, sits in his parlor countin his money.
Pendle-". ...........
The next mite it was desided to hev a rati-
ficashcn, that the Corners mite contribbit
her mite towards swelin the enthoosiasm
on the buZzum Nv witch Pendleton wuz to
sweep to glory. We met in the open air, in
front NV Bascom's, and the impashent crowd
called upon me TO give an account NV my
stewardship.
l opened by statin that went to Moo
York under pekoolyerly embarrassing cir
cumstances. The whole money power NV
the east wuz arayed agin us. The aristo-
kratic Belmont, which is the agent NV the
Rothchilds, the money-kings nv the world,
wuz determined to foist onto the Democracy
either Chase, the accursed Abolitionist, or
Seymour, the pekoolyer pet NV Wall street,
which street is, may sling in here for the
benefit NV my hearers, where the money
blzniss is mostly done, and where they
sleep on Government bonds, and spend the
heft NV their time clippin off the coopons. !"
tfWQt is pppnnns2u aaIya1 naaki,, pn,rrop,
explained to the blessed old saint wat
coopons wu2, and went on.
This Wall street inflooence wood my
brethren, hey corrupted the Dimocrisy.
Wall street came into Tammany Hall and
wanted to control our ackshen. But we
wuzent to be purchist. The more Wall
street offered to enslave the Dimocrisy, the
more yoor representatives, gleryin in their
manhood, spurned ther proffered bribes.
We went there determined to emancipate the
yeomanry NV the country from the bondge
u the bloatcd bondholler-we went there
pledged to Pendleron, the young eagle NV
the West-pledged to tender the bloated
bondholder, the same dirty rags wich he
pade for his bonds, if we pade him any
thing, greenbacks for his bloated bonds or
nothiH. We went there determined to an
initiate this yer Seemore and his bloated
supporters.
''Iaah for Pcndleton !" sung out the crowd
Three groans for Seymour, the bloated
bond holders agent!"
Both cheers and groans were given with
a will and perceedcd.
''My friends, you'll never know wat we,
the peoples defenders, he'd to contend with.
The bloated bondholders he'd money-we
he'd none. They were determined to fasten
the yoke on yoor necks-we were determin-
ed to hist it Of. They wus determined to
hev Seymour with all Wall street at his back
fastened onto you to grind you into dust,
but feelin that ef he slood be nominated we
Good never support him, we riz in our mite
and manfully compelled EN- to withdraw this
man and give lis the peoples choice, George

:. At this point Deekin Pogram's son CANA
liel wuz seen putin down the hill ez fast ez
his mule Good git. Joe Biger notst him
fust and rusht out NV the crowd TO intercept
him. The boy he'd noospaper in his hand
wich Josef took from him and rusht to
where wuz standing on the he'd NV barl
"Here's the last Louisville paper" sed
Greed! Reed!" yelled the crowd. "Giv
us the moose NV the downfall NV the bloated
bondholders
"Before read," sed Josef. who he'd glanc-
ed at the heading NV the TELEGRAPH collum,
"glye three more cheers for Pendleton and
greenbax. Hip, hip"
'Rah!" cheered the crowd.
Now three groans, and let them be good
ones, for Seymore and his cussed doctrine
wich will grind us into the dust under the
heels Nv Belmont, and aid the furrin capi-
lalists by paying the bonds in god"
And they groaned ez heartily ez they
cheered. "We ez Dimocrats," continued
Joseph, "hev sworn by our alters and our
hres, never to support for any otfis l who
wood pay debt injured by unconstitoo-
shenel government in unconstitooshenel
war in anything but the debascd currency
wich that unconstitooshenel government
shood."
"Never! never! we sware!"
"Very good,p said Josef. This paper
wich hold in my hands conveys the afllictin
that on the twenty-seckond bal
lot Governor Horasho Seymore nv New York
wuz nomenated, and that Frank Blair wuz
nomenated Vice President by acclamation

The Corners will repoodiatc the acksken NV

And with laff wich wuz develish in the
Josef left the stand.
The meetin broke upin row. The Cor
ners felt that they he'd bin imposed on, ant:
ied not got out NV the way mite hey bin
oersonelly injured.
The Deekin, Bascom, Kernel McPeller,

he excited crowd he'd dispersed and con-
ulted. We was in ruther a tight place.
lselyin on the strength NV our candidate, we
led gone too far in denouncin the others,
ho for that matter wat Good we do? The
wo policies is so cussed opposit that we
ant support the one without denouncin the
other. 1t wuz decided that we support the
icket. We felt it wuz safe. Seymore, if
le is elected, cant discriminate between his
in the dstribooshen NV the POST
'ff1ces, and after all that is the reel question
It ishoo. After givin the subick more
natoor considerashen, we come to the con-
looshen that the credit and standin NV the
government demanded the payment of the |
Nashnel Indebtedness in gold, and that any
hing short of that would be repoodashn.
81 wonder, sed l, that any honest man |
ANY man who believes in maintaining un-
impaired the credit of the government, shood |
hink for moment Nv payin the debt in

st hard gold" At meeting the next mite |
