liggers are inodorous. / mite hev
lnown, however, that the Niger wuZ
. free niger, by the way he pitched
nto me. No Niger in a state nv
,ervitood wood ever hev did sich a
hing. That much they owe to the
war, any how.
My principle object in goin to Moo
FORK wuz to do wat l Good toward
secoorin the nominashen of Jetro L.
Kippins. 1 found the delegates badly
tore up. The offers made for votes
wuz so rediculously low that there
wuz much disgust manifested. The
trouble wuz that the markit wuz over
stockt. He'd the COnvenshen bin
pretty ekally divided, and the bal
lance NV power held by few clost
mouthed souls, they Good hev made
a good thing Of it Blu. where a
whole Convenshen is in the markit,
and all ther infooenshel friends, no
candidate can afford to buy. l with
drew Mr.. Kippens to-wunst, for he
hez but small farm, and that mort

oates I approacht laft me to skOrn.
wuz on the Committee on ResO-
looshens, or ruther wuz in the room
ez a sort NV advisory committee while
the resolooshens wuz bein draftid.
Gen. Forrest, NV Tennessee, wuz
partiklerly anxshus that resoloosh-
en- shood be adoptid denouncin the
Radicals, who wuz, with unholy
hands, a strivin to destroy the best
government the sun ever shOne upon,
and one the destruction NV wich wood
be a calamity wich unborn millions
wood shed teers over. He desired q
resolooshen pledgin the Dimocrisy
to stand by the old Stars and Stripes
wich flag he'd bIaved a thousand
breezes, and WIZ synonomous, ct
settry. Mr.. Woolley. Mr.. Cobb, Mrs.
Cobh's husband, and Perry Fuller
pertikelery desired resolooshen de-
mandin the turnin out Nv office NV
corrupt men, that the government
mite be administered with suthin like
the purity witch distinguished it door
in the administration NV the late la
mented Bookannon, at the menshen
NV whose name every delegate pres
ent held a hankercher to his eyes fol
five consecutive minits, ez tho a CRATE
greet he'd fallen onto him.
Vallandygum insisted that blank
be inserted wich recognized niggel
suffrage but that wuz withheld onti
1t Good be definitly assertained wheth
er Mississippi wuz reely carried by
nigger vote or not. Eff amajority II,
the niggers did RELY vote the Demo
kratic ticket, it was desided that they
shood be recognized ez our ekals-
eff not, we'd see EN- id fust.
Cheef Justis Chase wuz espeshell,
anxyus for a resolosun denounsin il
the severest terms them onprinciplet
fanatikal Radikels, who for years het
bin laborin to subvert the govern
ment, by interferin with the persun
and property Nv citizens, and ais
pledgin the Convenshen to that wis
conservatism without wich ther coo,
be no permanance in our govern
ment.
Idropt into the SoGers' and Sail
ers' Convenshun, but l didn't sta,
long. Them whose noses wuzn'
red wanted to be either President o
cabinet orfisers; and NV the balanc'
NV EN-, the leasteSt sed the better
My sole indignated ez / saw seatet
among en- thevery sutler who refooset
m ecredit when wuZ servin ez a draft
ed man in 1862: and also a claim
agent who GOT so NV me on tn
promis Nv getin my bounty, whicl
when he got it he absorbed in fees
costs and commissions. Their WI,
NV coorse some troo men. Ther wu;
soliers ther wich resigned early IL
the war on akkount nv its bein add
Ablishin war, and others who left
becoz Linkin wuzn't rapid enuff il
maxim NV Major Generals. Their WI;
no limit to ther speekin. Every wuI
he'd the speech wich he delivered a
the Cleveland COnvenshun in 1S6t
carefully preserved, and they all in
sisted on deliverin EN-, wich ez lef
they were doin, all to themselves. +
they kin stan it am willin. We are
agoin to hev a Soljers' Convensher
in Richmond to ratify the nOminash
ems, wich will amount to suthin. W.
shell hev Forrest there, Boregard an6
Breckenridge, and their speeches will
count. We will hev the flags NV the
two governments entwined, and W.
will hev the moosic Nv both seek
shens played. Sich a ConvensheI
will amount to suthin. $50
Wat the platform will be, or wht
the candidates will be, the Lord only
knows. l am prepared for anythin
and so are all the delegates. Ef it,
Pendleton, on a repoOdiashen plat
form, we'll and good--ef its Seymour
on Nashenel Bank platform, jest az
good. l shood he happy to SEE
Breckenridge the choice NV the par
ty, and delighted eff Hancock shoot
be chosen. / kin hurrah for Chase
and with ekal vigger kin swing my
hat for Vallandygum, and find al
the delegates similerly affected. Th'
Post Office is the lean kline wicl
swallers up all the others. We arr
willin to sink everythin in Post Office
That my sincerity may not be doubt
ed, let it be remembered that hev rio
with a nigger from Ingeany to Not
York; hev bin whaled by one ant
hev felt good over it; hev bin hur
rahin for an old line Abolishnist, ant
swearin the while / liked it. Ef any
other evidence NV flexibility is need
ed, feel ekal to the task. Politi
cally, 1 am ekal to all emergencies.
