SAYS SPEECH, OF WHICH ONLY SMALL |
PORTION Is DELIVERED.
Posr OPFIs, CoSFEDERTr X ROADS,
(Which is in the State of Kentucky :
March 8, 1869. } /
The Moo Hampshire eecshun hez gone
agin us. | he'd hoped that the ''sober
second thought" Nv the people NV that
State wood bring about change, but 1t
didn't. That "sober second thought"
won't do TO depend onto. The genooine
Democrat hez no sober thought, nor no
second one. The sober man who thinks
twice alluz hez a most unaccountable hab-
it NV votin with the Ablishnists.
To Connecticut now we turn our hope
ful eyes. In Connecticut there is still
potency in our old watchword, "Ameriky
for white men y and the troo Connecticut
Dimocrat still shudders when 700 demand
NV him sternly, "Do 700 want to marry
niger ~ Then its proximity to Moo
York is pint in our favor, for it's cheap
er to transport voters from that city than
to any other State except Mo- Jersey.
To yoose military phrase, which learn
ed when | was in servis in the Loozeaner
Pelikins, Connecticut is near our base Of
supplies. Its too expensive TO do it on
pennsylvany, and we shell never try that
State agin.
A johnson desired me to 90 to Con-
necticut to assist Dixon, and | spent one
day at that bzns. johnson loves Dixon,
and is pertikeler anxious that he shell be
in the House when he gifts back into the
Senit.- Then, )" sed he, ''therc'll be two
NV us" l made my way to a rooral town
in his deestrik, and arranged for a meet
in to address There was goodly at
tendance, and congratulated myself up
on pleasant and profitable season.
Striking an attitopd l commenced by
remarkin that the eyes NV the country
was jst at this time Resin on the first
dieestrk of Connecticut, and that the coun-
try expected the elecshun NV that noble
patriot James Dixon. | proposed TO ex-
anime briefly the record NV the man for
whom l solisitid their votes.
At this mint the chairman NV the meet
in pulled my coat tail vilently.
"Well," sed |, angrily, for | wuz get
ting on Il most eokent sweat, and when
get to pcrspirin oratoricaIly | don't like
to be interrupted, "what's the matter %
"Don't menshun his record, whispered
he into my left ear. ave dodge that"
"But before enter upon that" sed ],
slldin of Nv that sanken rock, Il shell say
a few words regardin the monstrous pro-
position to force niger suffrage onto Con-
necticuf. Do VOC"
Asln my coat tail was pulled, and an
other nervous whisper.
"Don't ,nenshun suffrage--he voted for
it twice. We dodge that"
$50 700 DESIRE" resoomed l, some-
what staggered, for niger suffrage is my
best holt, and when deprived NV it | am
at sea without chart or compass. "Do
700 desire the old narrer ideas NV the
silk stockened Wing"
"For the Lords sake, DON'T" was the
next whisper. "DixOn was Wing
We dodge that"
THAT is--wich isl struck out wild
Ily--"do 700 desire TO hev the heresies NV
that impractieable Ablishnist Charles Sum-
ner---"
| sposed NV course this was safe It's
allus proodent to abooze Sumner in a
Democratic meetin, and when | hev moth
in else to say | allus do it with the hap
piest results But there came mighty
pull and another whisper the mint the
name wuz menshuned.
"Don't say noihin about Sumner-Dix-
on carries recommendatery letter from
him in his pocket. We dodge that"
Dazed and demoralized | commenced
agin.
'My friends, yoo are askt by the Alb
lishn candidate to vote with a party witch
only a few years ago in their mdnite lodg-
es wood hev denied the liberty-lovin emf
grant the bal"
"Good Lord, man," whisper this cuss-
ed chairman, pulin my coat till the slit
ches yawned 'dont 700 know that Dix
on was Know Nothin We dodge that"
Not KNOWN precisely wot to say, and
feelin very much in the condishun NV
man after hard mites drinkin, | made
another dive:
Fellow citizens, the question for us to
consider to mite is, shell we be taxed to
Pay an unconstooshrtl debt, made by an
tn"
That waz ez far ez got. Agin that
pull--agn that internal whisper:
