The most affectin time ever eggsperi-
enced in this vale O. teers, was in Washin-
ton last mite. His Egglency telegraph me
to come to Washinton, and obeyed. I
hewitt tied much to him recently, but
coodnet forgit that he first gave me the
offs live on, that his honored name is at
the bottom NV the commishun hold, and
felt that ought at least to be with him
while he wuz dissolutin. l determined
that he shood dror his last offishl breath
onto my faithful buzzum. fTg
/ arrived late, and at wunst perceeded to
the Executive Manshun. 1t was familyer
sceen. There WIZ Seward, Randall, Sec
setary Welles, and the President. and all
Nv EN- graver than the sanity raven Nv
the stately days Nv yOre. The President
wuz tryin to keep stiff upper lip, but
Good see teers follerin each other adown
his ,holler cheeks in rapid succession
"He's goner |" thot /, " no man kin stand
that drain on his floods. No matter how
much he may take in, that pace will kill
any one" H rax HGE
The President was reedin kilograms
and letters and they wuz not Nv a carik-
ter to pleeze him. The first wuz from Au-
gust Belmont, and red thus: tt
81 hev, ez 700 know, the highest possible regard
for yoor Eggslency. and shell regret exceedinly to
kin scacely eggspect the Dimocrisy to embarrass
themselves by espousin yoor coz. The fact is, no
party heving fucher before it kin tie itself to
mule, but ez ded mule can't draw his cart, he
materially turns his eyes onto them still possest NV
vitality Excuse me for comparln 700 to a ded
-153I with profund respect I am etc.
sP S. Should biznes call me to Tennessee,
shell do myself the honor to call on 700 in yoor
dignifed retirement"
The President wiped an avalanche NV.
teers witch follered the reeding Of this un-
feeling letter, and the next wuz opened:
MAYsyILLE, KY, Feb. 80, 1868:
Wood regiment Nv Irish raised in this place be
"Hell!" sed Randall, the whole coun-
ty only polls 800 votes, and that cuss hez
bin BORN me for place in the department
for over year. Drive on"
The next wuz from Vallandygum
''Slnce the disgraceful exhibshn yoor friends
made nv themselves at the Philadelphia Conven-
yeo know, never took any stock In half and-half
mxters. My defect by Thurman hezn't increased
my love for 700 and yoors. hev no objecshun to
your uUum your Sctt W buO Cuu Nv yOOi tCinl, uu1
RELY it's matter NV but little conscience to me-
Shood 700 pass thro Dayton on yoor way to Ten
nessee shood be glad to extend the Inequalities
NV my humble house to yoo"
The next Wuz from Franklin Peerse, and
wuz dated at Concord, N. H.:
81 feel for 700; that is feel for you general
principles. (Thad. Stevens, permit me to say, in
parenthesis, hez beer feelin for 700, and hez at
do for every man who hez offs and is obeeged to
leave it. Nevertheless, can't help 700. wood,
but 700 see we hey all we kin do to help our
selves. Nv coorse VOC don't expect the democracy
to take any part in the struggle between 700 and
Congris. Elected ez Republican, with Repub-
nkins in yoor Cabinet, the Dimocrisy, while they
applaud wat 700 hev dOne can't Nv cOorse, make
yoor quarrel theirs. When VOC leave Washington
for Tennessee, can't 700 take Concord in yoor
way? hev no objecshun to minglin teers with
yoo.''
The next wuz from Western politishen
lately appointed Postmaster:
'..SIR: return the appointment 700 gave me
last month with lOathin and skorn. survived the
Moo Orleans and Memphis massacres, yoor oppo-
iniquit1es NV yoor most damnable administration,
but this last attempt to hist Stanton can't en-
dorse. Therefore / bolt. Yoor successor will, l
hope DO ns justis' and likewise the SENT semi.
nae for better nor yeer for the appint-
ment, but the SENT won't confirm him.
Oh, Wade, what haven't 700 to undergol
Oh, johnson, from what hev 700 escaped !"
A prominent Eastern Democrat wrote
defy Congriss and let EN- impeech 700. Dare
EN- to do their dirty d-dest. Eff they shood hist
700, all the better. 1t will be an immense help
towards the elekshun nv Mcclellan. Think how
mu ch 700 kin do for the coz in this way, and
stand firm. Visit Hartford on yoor way to len
nessee." "a ~ Ns@ -
A Western Dimokrat wrote:
"We all applaud yoor courage and resolushn.
Let the RumP impeech and remove 700, and 1t
makes certain the triumph NV Pendleton. Stand
by yoor colors. Yoor impeachment is our hope
Shell we see 700 at Cincinnati on yoor way to Ten

A Southern Dimokrat wrote. 70 u
1Be firm-be firm. The impeechme emit nv yoor-
self will raise SIGH storm NV Indignation in the
North, and SIGH sympathy for Southern Dimokrats

Mcclellan! Pendleton! Breckin-
ridge!" shouted the President; "What Nv
me? Am to bleed solely for their good
/ don't want to go TO Tennessee, nor
won't. Am I to go out impeeched for
their benefit. Neverr' and Androo, who
isn't quite ez much Nv philosopher as
Sokratees, busted into teers, swearin that
he'd see EN- blest afore he'd sakrifis mint
Nv his term for anybody's yoose but his
| own.
The next wuz from Assessor in Illinoy,
who went on to remark that he wood be
glad to support him, but a decent regard
for the interests NV his family indicated a
different course. He had espoused the COZ
Nv the President agin Congris for the sake
nv the position, and the President Good
well understand that it wuz no more diff
kilt to change now, to keep offs, than ii
wuz to change two yeers ago to fill one
4 He wuz at this time bizzily engaged in
supportin Congris. "Call it not ingrati.
TODD" said he. 81 wuz in the market
then, and am now, precisely ez wuz al
them witch 700 he'd captive out nv the Re.
publikin party. He is eggregis ass who
worships the settin sun, when by turnin
around he kin let the golden rays Nv the
risin orb beam onto him."
At this pint, and long efore the afflicted
President had recovered from theze blows
Giddy Welles' nephew, who he'd been Out
on scout, returned with a report. Fust
he he'd notist that every burned one Nv thu
cusses who he'd bin beseegin the White
