A letter of introduction enabled me,
Yesterday, to make the acquaintance

office, when on his travels, but so great
has been my admiration of this cham
pion OF Democracy in the West, |
could not forego the opportunity of
Knowing him personally. While en-
gagged in conversation, the Hon. Geo
III. Pendleton entered but | shall not,

detail what was said, more than to say
hat the Fifteenth Amendment was
being discussed, and to the question

Pendleton. He is the idol of the
Western Democracy, and is esteemed

personal worth, and splendid talents
He may yet be President, of the Uni

candidate for it twenty years hence.

quite pleased with the prospect of a
return Of the old trade from the South
and of course express themselves de-
lighted with the new era Of prosperity
now dawning upon her. The South will
have more friends than she has any

themselves industriously to the devel-

has blessed no other people. Let III

of my fellow-craftsmen in Mississippi

city, and the several halls for Lodg,
chapter, Council, and Commander
