also how he votes He'd that Williams
bin injected with Ablishnism, 1 make
no doubt that the stencil wich L reely
fancied smelt when stundertook to
subjOogate him, wood hev continyood to
the end NV the trip. In olden time IL
wuz observed that slave niggers didn't
small-it was only the free ones. 1t isa
settled fact Row that Dimekratic niggers
are inodorous! 1 mite hev known, how
ever, that the Niger wuz free niger,
by the way he pitched into me. No mig
ger in state Nv servitood wood ever hev
did sich thing. That much they owe
tn the war, anyhow.
My principal objeck in goin to Moo
York wuz to do wat Good toward se-
cooring the nomination NV Jethro i.
Kippins. | found the delegates badly
tore up. The offers made for votes wuz
so redikulously low that there wuz much
disgust manifested. The trouble wuz
that the market wuz overstockt. He'd
the Conversation been pretty ekally
divided, and balance of power held by
few clost mouthed souls, they could
hev made good thing Nv it. But where
a whole Convenshen isin the markitand
all their inflooenshel friends, no candi-
date kin afford to buy. 1 Withdrew Mr..
Kippins to wunst. EZ he hez but small
farm, and that mortgaged to a grossery
keeper, the delegates l approatcht laft
me to skorn.
L wuz on the Committee on Resoloo-
shens, or ruther wuZ in the room ez q
sort nv advisory committee while the
resolooshens was bein drafted. General
Forrest Nv Tennessee, wuz partiklerly
anxshus that q resolooshen shood be
adoptid denouncin the Radicals, who
wuz, with unholy hands, a striven to
to destroy the best Government the sun
ever shone upon, and one the destruction
Nv wich wood be calamity witch unborn
millions wood shed teers over. He de-
sired resolooshen pledgin the Dino
crisy to stan by the Stars and Stripes,
wich flag had braved thousand breezes
and wuZ synonymous, ct settry. Mr..
Wooley Mr. Cobb MRS. Cobb's husband),
and Perry Fuller pertikelery, desired a
resolooshen demandin the turn out NV
offs NV corrupt men, that the Govern
ment might be administered with sutbin
like the purity wich distinguished it
doOrin the administration NV the late
lamentid Bookanon, at the menshun NV
whose name every delegate present held
a handkerchief to his eyes for five con-
secutive minits, ez tho a crate greet he'd
fallen onto him.
Vallandygum insisted that plank be
inserted wich recognized niger sufferage
but that wuZ withheld ontil it Good be
definitely ascertained whether Missis-
sippi wuz reely carried by nigger votes
or not. Eff a majority Nv the niggers
did RELY vote the Demokratic ticket, it
wuz desided that they shOod be recogniz-
ed ez our ekals-of not, we'd see 'em id
fust. ...r
Cheef Justice Chase wuz espeshelly
anXyus for Il resolooshun denounsin in
the severest terms them onprincipled,
fanatical Radikels, who for years he'd
been laboriu to subvert the government
by interierin with the persuns and pro-
perty NV citizens, and also pledgin the
COnvanshun to that wise conservatism
without wich ther Good be no perman-
ence in our government.
L dropt into the Soljers' and Sailers
Convenshun, but didn't stay long
Them whose noses wuzn't red all wanted
to be either President or Cabinet orfisers;
and Nv the balanse Nv EN-, the leastest
sed the better. My sole indignated ez /
saw seated among EN- the very sutler
who refoosed me credit when l wuz
seryin ez drafted man in 1862 and also
u claim agent who got ten dollars NV me
on the promis NV getting my bounty,
which when he got it he absorbedin fees,
costs and commissions. There wuZ NV
coorSe some troO men. There wuz SOL
jers ther which resigned early in the
war, on akkount Nv its bein a id
Ablishin war, and others who left becoz
Linkin wuznt rapid enuff in maxim NV
EN- Major Generals. There W uz no limit
to their speekin. Every wun had the
speech which he delivered at the Cleve-
land Convenshen in 1856 carefully pre-
served, and they all insisted on deliverin
EN-, which ez L left they were doin, all
to themselves. Ef they kin stan it L am
willin. We are goin to hev Soljers
Convenshen in Richmond TO ratify the
nominashens, wich will amount to
suthin. We shall have Forrest there,
and Boregard and breckenridge, and
their speeches will count. We will hev
the flaguv the two governments entwin-
ed. and We will hev the moosic Nv both
sections played. Sicha Convenshen will
amount to suthin.
Wat the platform will be, or who the
candidates will be, the Lord only knows.
Tam prepared for any thing snd SO are
all the delegates. Eff its Pendleton, on
a repoodiashen platform well and good
--ef its Seymour, on Nashnel Bank
platform, jest ez good. l shood be happy
10 see Breckinridge the choice NV the
party, and delighted eff Hancock shood
be chosen. kin hurrah for Chase, and
with ekal vigger kin swing my hat for
Vallandygum, and find all the dele
gates similerly affected. The Post Offs
is the lean kline wich swallers up all the
others. We are willin to sink every
thing in Post Offs. That my sincerity
may not be doubted, let IL be remember
ed that hey rid with niger from In
geany to Moo York; hev been whaled
by one and hev felt good over it, hev bin
hurrahin for an old line Abolitionist, and
swearin the while / liked it. Eff any
other evidence Nv fexibility is needed, L
feel ekal to the task. Politically 1 am
ekal to all emergencies.
