DEAR SIR: I suppous you are aware
the Legislature has conjourned and
the time we were holden together
have planed out more work, made
more Acts, and higher number of
tax than was ever before consum-
mated by any body of Independent
freemens dissembled here on any one
occashun, you must remember too we
haint had no easy time nuther, them
dod derned Democrats as is in the
Legislature has mired us much, we
would been able now to sleep in
hotels, eat in hotels, drink in hotels,
and take lunches at Pollock house,
and play Billiards there too with
Senator Randolph hadn't it been for
old Beeman of the SENT and few
sich stripes in the house, but let EN-
go on its long turn what has no lane
You had better send and take our
paper here printed by Mr. Denny, he
is good man. an honest man and q
true friend to our race, he thinks we
all Is his equals and sich man as that
wus deserving of the printing over o
man like Selby of the Phonir even if
he got fifty times as much for the
work we guv out, his paper too amt
no slouch, look at the brilliant stars
what are argufying for it. First
Gums Willard whose head scars like
martin and darts like an eagle on its
pray he has law to the very tip ends
OF his fingers and toes and in Byrons
words thars music whar ever he goes
he is the best Divorce man this side
of Ilaskher. And look at Chamberlin
the case of Tom Walker, his argufy-
ing of that cause of acshun wusnt a
stop and go on but wus q 90 on all
the time, for man who is stranger
and dident know the laws of this
State to come in contradiction with
sich as Ficklin Pope and Captin Tired
will amt it enormous, and he was sort
OF jubus too that Willards decidin
would be agin him in sum pints but
In course knowed aforehand it would
result in favor of the friend and mem
Der of the League, our Attorney
Generals opinions is copied in all the
form papers as far as Californy, I
seed them myself. Another of the
writer's of Mr. Denny paper are a Mr.
Hog. he are also one of the highest
Judges, and is running for Congress,
and when he gets there will pass a
Act to make EN- change his name as
the people here calls him Hog, but
he haint got tany hog doins about him,
you never SEQ him rootin or cayortin
round like hog, thar may be times
when he bristles up, but that is when
he argufys for us like in Newbery,
sich times as them he may curl him
self and squeal to sich as Paysinger
and other scouting Parties who was in
the rebel army-he is q man and is
not afeard of torpedoes, or any sich
like.
The latest news is the roarin politi-
Gals expects to have a tremeniuous
time hereabouts to morrow. They
calls him John Squincy Adams one of
the signers of the Declination of In
dependents is coming here to hora-
tion make, its all very good we has
had our horation makers Moses, Bow
en- Makky Elliott Cain Randolph and
some more who 1 expects talks as well,
It's their turn now to stand up in q
crowd and raise contradictshu ho-
ration, but [ reckon they will find it
mighty hard to make things clear like
our mems Whipper Wright Wimbush
and Owens, 1 has no objection to let
tin their breath floats, for 1 knows
full well the last man that talks gifts
the best Of it, let EN- go along in their
feelins with the horation makers of
the Democrat party we turns in and
upsets all the grand braveness of
words, and conterdicts them at every
turn, and shows what they calls wrong
we calls wright, what they calls black
we calls white. I has propensity to
obsarve, and I always gifts at the thin
nest end of tho platform of these
meetings 80 as to make fair start to.

volying az shooters.
