The matter Nv Presidenshl candi
date hez opprest me, and hez also exer-
cised the gigantic intellex who congre-
gate at the corners. We hev desided
that Cheef Justis Chase won't do. We
kin support him cheerfully, for bis
method NV conduktin the impeachment
trial hez satisfied us NV his hankerin for
a standin in our party. Besides thi:
havin made a start, we consider him
safe any how The man wich kin take
a nominashen at our hands, or identify
hisself with us, may alluz be countid
onto, The Ablishnists never forgive
sich, and their aint no other place to
go. When Johnson and Doolittle and
that crowd left the Ablshnists. knew
wher they would land better than they
did. FdcitS decensus aua-ni, witch bein
translated into the vulgar tongue,
means, the road to hell is macadamized.
Hancock won't do, becoz our Suthern
brethren hev a prejoodis again the flag
he drawd his sword under Pendleton
wood anser the west, but the east is
opposed to shim;' Seymoure wood do
the east, but the west is opposed to
him. therefore, after givin the mat
ter matoor conderashen, hev decided to
propose for the posishn, the name nv
JethrO L. Kippins, NV Alexander coun-
ty, IIlihoy.
hev the follerin reasons for insistin
on his nomlnashen:
l. He's geographically level. By
lookin on the map, it will be seen that
that county in Illinoy is the extreme
suthwesterly part nv the State. 1t is a
Northern county with Southern ideas.
Across the river is Kentucky, west is
southeastern Missoury and east is lower
Injeany. They grow Tobacco there,
and yearn after slave labor ez intensely
ez we do across the river.
\ @ Nobody knows him. The name
ofJethro L. Kippins hez never filled the
s6undin trump NV fame. With him on
our tikkit several pints wood be gained.
On all the questions on which there is
a doubtin the minds of the Democracy,
Jethro L. Kippins is uncommitted. =
He is. unembarrassed with views, and
on trout &esome questions hez nary an
opinyun. ! The trouble Pendleton hez
wshethe gEeenbax wood not affect him
neitBelAwd ID any nv them other ques-
tions wRN8 are ruther embarrissin than
otherwise.>Y He hez but one political
principle, mich he holds is enuff for
any one m5 and that is Democracy,
ez it hez binA Aez it is, and ez it may be.
He believes firmly in the cuss NV Ca
nan, he holds close to Onesimus and
Hagar, and ez sworn a solemn oath
thatno nigge shal ever marry a'daughter
nv hizzen. This noble sentiment which
alluz strikes a responsive cord in every
Democratic Buzzum wood be embla-
zoned on the Kippins banner,
s. Jethro L. Kippinses posishen on
the war question is happy. He opposed
all the steps wich led to it, and when it
finally broke out, he proposed the only
troo Demokratic way NV stoppin it.
1t wnz his opinyun that we he'd no rite
to coerce the South-that there wuz no
warrant in the Constooshen for any
sich perceedin. "Ef Boregard fires on
to Major Anderson sed he, let Major
Anderson go afore the nearest Justis
NV the Peece and hev him bound over
to keep the peece. If he wont keep
the peece, and the Justis can't enforce
his warrant, why that ends it. We
can't go beyond the Constooshen. -
After hostilities actooally begun, his
posishen wuz eminently satisfactory to
both sides. He wuz in favor NV the
war, but opposed to its prosecushen.-
He remarkt that the South had com
mitted indiscreashen, but were he iu
Congris, he shoodent vote for
nary man nor dollar for carryin on a
war agin em, His two sons served in
the war-one in the Confedrit servis
and one in the Fedral-both ez suffers.
The war bore heavy on him-he made
great sacrifices. Three other sons he
in Canada dooring the con-
tinyooance NV the unnacheral strife

ments NV popularity. He wuz born in
a log cahin-he studied Dabolrs arith-
