ton ice die out in the West and sub
stitute Seymour's for it in that Sec
shun. It don't make much difference
wat we, do in the East ez ther amt

farchnit, ez it mite complicat matters.
Its my opinyun that Pendleton isn't
much NV 3 statesman anyhow,
Another thing that's workin agin
us Is Blare. His rednis Of face and
cheerful conviviality does much for
us in Kentucky wher We don't want
help, but good Hevins how 1t tells
agin MS in the close States wher we
do need help. His Brodhed letter

York wher our people hev business
and want peace it heE made them

Somehow the people wood ask us
wich our leaders we proposed to put
in the places NV the Ablishnist, and
when we ansered Vallandigham, Fer
mandy Wood, and his brother Dan
Voorhees, and Jesse D. Brite, they'd
'laff derisively, and say, "Lord save
ius, ef these hungry and thirsty
thieves get their jaws into the Nash
mel carkis. Wed ruther keep them
wich We hev." afa6 f

extravagance.
