This note, kiverin threat, put me
into perspiraskun. Why, bless the
Presidents cheerful sole, NV course /
kin express my preference for the Pres
idency. Certinly / kin, 'bleeve in A.
johnson. He is my fust and only choice,
and will be for fifteen months to come,
without fail. / cannot say very much
for him, but / kin abuse his competitors,
and that, possibly, amounts to the same
thing. The follerin is note l shell
send to the President for insershen in
his organ:
Ed. NAsHNEI. 1NTELIGHNcER
The question which just now agitates
the mind NV Kentucky more, perhaps,
than any thing else, is: who shell be the
nominee NV the next Nashnel Dimocrat
ic Conyenshun There are many gen.
tiemen spoken Nv in connecshun with the
place, and Their claims I perpose, BRIEFLY,
to consider from Kentucky stand pint
The first is Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan,
whose body has been recently raised for
the purpose. Gen. Mcclellan is not,
don't think, Questionable to the South
ern people. They hev a material and
normal objecshun to any one who drawd
the sword agin EN- in the late onpleasan-
this, but they do not bleeve that Gen. u.
Il. did this. At least eff he did, it wuz
only Operative. His servises to the
Confedracy in buryin the tens nv thou
sands NV Fedral sojcrs afore Richmond,
the brilliant strategy NV his lootenants
in tyin the hands NV Pope and Burnside,
and keepin them from hurtin us, and
finally, his runnin with Pendleton agln
Linkin, all bind him to the Southern
heart. Any one who Good hev run agin
Linkin in 1864, they consider must hav
bin troo to the South. He is the soothin-
ever wore bloc. But he wont anser. In
the first place there isn't time between
this and the next elecshun for him to
make up his mind whether he will ex
cept the nomination or not; and second
", eff he did decide in time he lacks pres
tige. He has been detected wunst, hez |
George, and it wont do to take up whipt |
rooster. Evidently he is out Of the ring |
Next on the carpet is Pendlcton. Geo. |
II. Pendleton, say unhesitatingly, he
want do. He won't anser. Their is too |
crate q distanc atween him, and the mas
ses nv his party. He uses good Eng /
lisn, and wears clean shirt collars, and |
no sich man kin hev the confidence and
esteem Nv the Dimocrasy Nv the trooly
Dimocratic Stats. These things 700
may aver, are small and inconsequen-
shell, but deny it. They are Nv vital
importance. Their is material affinity
between Dimocrisy and dirty collars =
Didst never observe wen Pendleton adj
drest the freedmen NV Injiana, how cold |
stun like wuz the aujience ez his finished |
periods fell upon their ears ? Didst !
never hear Henry Clay Dean, whose .
shirts are worn three consecutive |
months, and whose stockings are never
changed Dist never motifs how he lifted |
EN- It amt that there's any difference
in what they say-it's in the shirt collar.
Beside, Pendleton hez none nv the quail
tiles necessary to successful candidacy.
He wuz born tollabel well off, and hadn't
nary struggle in his yooth. He didn't
drive on the canal and study Algebra on
the back Nv kickin mule, and get knockt |
of by Q profane Captain for neglectin |
his dooty he wuzn't born in log cabin |
in the backwoods, neither did he study |
grammar by the lite NV pine knot,
which he held in one hand, and the book
in the other He didn't learn shoema-
kin in his boyhood's days, when the deth |
nv his father, which wuz lamented by all
who knew him, drove the family into
humble poverty; neither did he, while
upon the shoe bench, feel within him the
cravins NV o noble ambishen. and risin,
rush with his apron on to a law offs and
demand to be reserved ez student. |
None NV these. He wuz born Nv rich but
respectable parence, who put him thro
college and started him in life ez COM
Portable ez ever young man wuz started
in the world. It's plane to me that Pen
aleton won't do.
The Same objecshens hold agin Sey-
mour. I hav no objecshens to him, he
hez done his party servis. Iwus MIN

citizens who wuz engaged in assertin Their
sooperiority over the Afrlain orphan

the orphins, and no man doorin the war
wuz q firmer friend NV our Southern
brethren than he, but he's another Pen
dleton. Sich a man mite anser for Vice
