am sometimes gloomy and respondent,
and never more SO than now. To me the
skies is dark; to me the clouds is lowerin.
and the prOspex gloomy. First, the crops
is agin us. Wat we wantid to make
ashoorance double shoor wuz Jolly failyoor
nv crops, He'd the wheat failed in Ohio,
Injianny and Illinoy-hed ther potatoes
rotte6 in ther fields, and the corn come to
naught, we Good hev carried them States
easy. For it's the naeher Nv men to charge
up everything from a theevin postmaster
to the failyoor Nv corn-the first the most
trifin, and the latter lin view NV its effeek
on the price Nv likker) the most stupenjus
evils wich kin affeek mankind-they charge
everything Nv this kind up to the account
NV the party 10 power, and they vote agin
EN-. When mistorcboon waves her red flag
in ther faces, they charge agin it like the
bull, never thinkin Nv the drawd steel wich
is behind to receive EN-. Ny ofishl exist
enoe is drawd steal.
But Providence is again US now. ez in
the past. Providence hez most aggra-
vatin knack Nv comm in jest at the proper
time for the Republican party. Here wuz
preshure in money matters, in conse
quence OF short crops for years-we stept
in and offered cure in the shape of a un-
limited ishoo Nv greenbax, but alas less
ez the dose wuz bein swallered, the crops
interfered, givin everybody all the green
bax they wanted, and making it TO the in
terest Nv everybody not to hev any more
sfoat, for fear twould depreshate them
witch they had and at one this plank wuz
knockt out from under us.
1t is my opinion that we'd better drop
our finanshel policy. At all events we had
better let the Pendleton ice die out in the
West and substitute Seymore's for it in
that secshnn. 1t don't make much differ
ence wat we do in the East, ez ther amt
none Nv us ther anyhow, wich is forchnit,
ez 1t mite complicate matters. Iti my
opinyun that Pendleton isn't much of
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 it tells agin us in the close States
wher we do need help. His Bredhed let
ter scots us nv Kentucky; but in Moo
1OEh WucE OuE poOpi0 hcf DublneSS and
want peece it hez made them skeery.
1t is my opinion that we'd better drop
Blare.
Ez to reconstruckshen, that isn't lest ez
good keerd ez we thought il wood be.
Watts the yoose nv howlin' that the Radi-
kels don't want restoreshen Nv the States
when they've admitted all NV 'em but two
or three Wa's the yoose Nv whistlin in
the face Nv sich north windY
1t is my opinion that we'd better drop
reconstruckshen.
The extravaganza nv the Radikels wuz
keerd wich ! had hope Nv, but it didut
amount to nothing. Somehow the people
wood ask US witch of our leaders we pro-
posed to put in the places Nv the Ablish-
inists, and when we ansered Yallandigham,
Fernandy Wood, and his brother, Dan
VOORHEES,, and Jesse D. Brite, they'd laff1
