! to EN- four years agoln dead earnest,

presist in votin and in holdin meetins and
sich, and Nv course the Caucassions NV
the South can't tolerate it. The murder
NV these innocent niggers by the men NV
the South is another manifestation NV
Radical hate and malignity. He'd tney

promptly, enforcin his remarks with ap-
proprit jestere.
81 alIuz repose great confidence in
Grant. For long time he wuz wonder
fully reticent NV wich didn't take no no.
tis, fer ez it wuz inconprehensible to me
how any one Good differ with me, | sup
posed he wuz troo to me and the con-
stooshen. never lost faith in his pater-
tism till he insanely and blindly com
menst opposin me, and then resigned
him Reluctantly. But he finally went
over. Wat an awful thing it is that one
who he'd won sich laurels ez he he'd
who he'd made sch name, shood throw
it to the earth by one false STEP But
SO it wuz with Grant. He he'd render
ed EN- valyooable assistance in putin
down the rebellion, and he'd suffered al
most ez | he'd, but he rooined hisself af-
ter all. Sheridan opposed me from the
beginin, thus layin heisself cut for all
time. Howard ez eff bit with the same
make, WIZ in advance NV him: Sherman,
Sickles, and the great majority Nv the
Generals who served did likewise. Ros-
so and Steedmau remained troo, and |
Hancock was finally pursuaded to stand
by the ship Nv state, but the rest NV en-
persisted in plungin the country in dis
sension and trouble by opposin me.
When think NV how they rooined them
sclve-uv wat a ridiculous figure they
will cut in history ez my opponents, |
can't avoid droppin a bitter teer or
two. 1t wood be well to put in here,
sThe President wuz visible affected"
"The removal NV Stanton and the
appointment of Thomas in his sted is wat
these disorgapizers, thes concentrators
who oppose me that the government |
may by concentrated into their hands i'll
stead of bcin diffoosed thro mine, cheefy |
depend upon. Wat Is there in it Stan
ton wuz opposed to me, and l laborin
for their unity, that enenis, without
which no :, 1vernment kin go on satisfic-
torily t. he head thereof, remove him.
How kin the Government go on without
anybody opposin me ?-ef nobody op-
posed Inc ther wood be no dispoots.
The people must understand this, that
they may put the blame where it be-
longs. | hey no objeckshun to sayin
that to bring about harmony and peace
l wood, eff Good, remove Congress, and
the struggle between Us mite be ended.
But no one kin object to my removin
Stanton. Will they say ten er-uv-otfis
a t p: o ec;id him Z? shel answer to-wuast
that l he'd decided that law to be oncon
stooshncl long ago, and consekentlyoit
he'd no bindin forces onto me. | weep |
continyooally over the peryersenis NV
the men who will continy ooolly keep
a passin laws wich they knew will de-
clare unconstooshnel.
'Ez to the final result hev nary a
doubt. The people are with me. Look
at their anxiety for my triumph and the
sacrifices they are willin to make. Why,
over four thousand OF my friends resi-
din in Moo York were so anxious that
my other friend in Connecticut shood
succeed, that they went all the way TO
Hartford and MOO Haven to vote !! Wuz
there ever sich patertism displayed afore?
Who kin doubt when backed by sich ad-
herents =
"The President signifed that he wuz
DONE
Hadn't yoo better look over these
notes." sed 1 ''there may be things you
hev sed wich 700 wood not like to have
published.
''No!" sed he. at don't matter ef
hev sed ennything that don't care to
father. kin easily deny it. Farewell.
But be troo to the Constitution ez
constro it, and the laws ez l understand
EN-, and all will be we'll.
l left the CRATE man feelin that eff he
don't whale his persecooter it wont be
becoz he hezu't sublime confidence Ill
