linton last mite. His Eggslency TELEGRAPH
me to come on tn Washinton, and [ obey
ed; shevn' tied much tn him recently,
but Good not forgit that he fnst give me
the of1s l live On, that his honored name
IS at the bottom Nv the commishun L
hold, and | felt that ought at least to
be with him while he wuz dissolutln. L
determined that he shooG drop his last
Offlshl breath onto my faithful Dnzzum:
arrived late, and at wunst perceded
to the Executive Manshun. 1t was a
familyer sceen Their wuz Seward, Ran
dali, Secretary Welles, and the Presi-
dent, and all Nv EN- graver than the
sanity raven Nv the stately days Nv yore.
The President wuz trying 10 keep stlff
upper lip, but [ Good see teers follerln
each other adown his hooler cheeks In
rapid succession.
Ties a goner!" thought [: mo man
kin stand that drain on his Hooids. No
matter how much he may take In, that
pace will kill any one.
The President wuz reedin kilograms
and letters; and they wuz not Wv carlk-
ter tn pleeze him. The fust wuz from
August Belmont, and red thus:
| hev, ez 700 know, the highest posi-
BILE regard for your Eggslency, and shell
regret exceedinly to see 700 deprived OF
yoor high offs but, rely, 700 kin scarce
" eggspect the Dimocrisy to embarrass
themselves by espousin your coz. The
fact is, no party having fucher before it
kin tie itself to dead past. The teem-
ster draws a sigh over dead mule, but
ez ded mule cant draw cart, he mate
rally turns his eyes on to the still posest
Nv vitality. [ hope you see the pint with
parin 700 to a ded mule, but the simile
wuz the first that segested itself to me:
With profound respect; | am etc.
p. S. Should dizziness call me to Ten
nessee, shell do myself the honor to call
on 700 in your dignifed retirement.
The President wiped an ayaiache Nv
teers wich follered the reedin Nv this un-
feclin letter, and the next wuz opened.
Wood regiment Nv Irish raised in
this place be Nv eny servisl Anser
ia.
"Hell!" sed Randall, "the whole
county only polls 500 votes, and that cuss
hez bin BORN me for place in the de-
partment for over year. Drive on,
The next wuz from Vallandygum:
Since the digraceful exhibishun yoor
friends made Nv themselves at the Phila-
delphia Convention, | didn't consider
myself bound to you. [, ez 700 know,
never took any stock in half-and half
mixters. My defect by Thurman hezn't
increased my love for 700 and yours. |
hey no objecshun to yoor holdin yoor sect
to the end of yoor term, but RELY its
matter Nv but little conscience to me.
Shood you pass thro Dayton on yoor way
to Tennessee, [ shood be glad to extend
the hospitalitles NV my humble house to
700.
The next wus from Franklin Peerse,
and wuz dated at Concord n. II.
| feel for yoo; that Is, feel for you
on general principles. (Thad. Stevens,
permit me to say, In parenthesls, hez
been feeln for 700; and hez at last, lam
satisi fed, found yoo. L feel for 700 ez l
do fer every man who has offiis and is
obleeged to leave it. Nevertheless,
can t help 700. | wood, bat you see we
hev all we kin do to help ourselves Wv
coorse 700 don't expect the Dimocrlsy to
take any part in the struggle btween 700
and Congress. ELECTED ez a Repulikin,
with Republicans in yoor Cabinet, the
Dimccrisy, while they applaud wat 700
hev done, can Nv course, make yoor
quarrel theirs. When 700 leave Wash
ington for Tennessee can 700 take Con-
cord in yoor way? [ hev no objeckshuD
to mlngln teerS with 700.
The next wuz from Western poiti
shen lately appointed Postmaster:
81 return the appointment 700
gave me with loathin and scorn. L sur
vived the Moo Orleans and Memphis
massacres your opposl ton to the will Nv
Congris, and all other damnin iniquities
Nv yoor most da unable admlnlstra ton,
but this last attempt to hist Stanton |
can endorse Therefore | bolt. loor
successor will, | hope, do me justis, and
likewise the SENT.
Lord sed Randall, ''that cuss bored
me for better nor yeer for the applnt-
ment, but the SENT won t confirm him,
Oh, Wade, wat hevn't 700 tn undergo
Oh, johnson, for what hev 700 escaped.
4 prominent Eastern Dimokrat wrote
ez follers:
Defy Congris and let EN- impeach 700.
Dare EN- to do Their dirty d-dest. Eff
they shood hist 700, all the better. 1t
wood be an immense help toward the
eleckshun Nv Mcclellan. Think how
much 700 kin do for the coz in this way,
and stand firm Visit Hartford on yoor
way to Tennessee.
A Western Dimollrat wrote:
We all applaud your courage and reso-
looshn. Let the Rump impeach and re-
move yoo: and it makes certain the tri-
umph of Pendleton. Stand by yoor col
ors. Yoor impeachment is our hope.

The next wuz from an Assessor in Hi
nov, who went on to remark that he wood
be glad to support him. but decent re-
gard for the interests Nv his family lndl

poused the coz Nv the President agin
