CoNFEDR1T X ROADS, (wich is in the state nv Kentucky, March g, 1869. The Moo Hampsheer eleckshun hez gone agin us. he'd hoped that the "sober sec ond thought" uv the people uv that state wood bring about change, but it didn t.. That "sober second thought" won't do to depend onto. The ginooine Democrat has no sober thought, nor no second one. The sober man who thinks alluz hez a most un- accountable habit uv voting with the Ab- litionists.
 To Connecticut now we turn our hope full eyes. In Connecticut there is still po- tency in our old watch-word, "Ameriky for white men p and the troo Connecticut Dimocrat still shudders when you demand uv him sternly, "Do 700 want to marry a nigger?" Then it's proximity to Moo York IS pint in our favor, for it's cheaper to transport voters from that city, than to any other state except Moo Jersey. To yooze Q military phrase, wich learned when I wuz in servis in the Looezeaner Pelikins, Connecticut Is near our base uv supplies. It's too expensive to do it on Pennsylva- ny. and we shel never try that state agin.
 A. Johnson desired me to go to Connect icut to assist Dixon, and spent one day at that biznis. Johnson loves Dixon, and is pertikelerly anxshus that he shel be in the House when he gifts back into the Senit. Then, said he, "there'l be two uv us. made my -YaY to a gooral town in his address. There wuz goodly attendance, and congratulated myself upon 8 pleas and and profitable season.
 Strikin an attitood commenced by re- markin that the eyes uv the country wuz jist at this time a restin onto the first dee- stik uv Connecticut, and that the country spectid the eleckshun uv that noble patri- ot James Dixon. perposed to examine whom solisited their votes.
 At this pint the cheerman uv the meetin pulled my coat tale vilently.
 "Well." said angrily, for wuz gittin on most elokent sweat, and when git to perspirin oratorically, don't like to be in- terruptid, "wat's the matter?"
 "Don't menshun his record" whispered he into my left ear. "We dodge that P
 "But before enter upon that" sed I, sliding off uv that sunken rock, shel say few words regardin the monstrous prop osition to force nigger suffrage onto Con- necticut. Do yoo-"
 Again my coat tale was pulled, and an- other nervous whisper. ....-.
 "Don't menshun suffrage-he voted for 1t twice. We dodge that"
 "Do 700 desire," resoomed I, somewhat staggered, for nigger suffrage is my best holt, and when deprived of it l am at sea without chart or compass, "Do 700 desire the old narrer ideas uv the silk stockened Whig-
 For the Lords sake, don't" wuz the next whisper. "Dixon wuz Whig. We dodge that"
 "That is-wich is''-I struck out wildly |-" do 700 desire to hev the heresies uv that impracticable Ablishnist, Charles Sum- ner-"
 sposed uv course this wuz safe. It's al- luz proodent to abooze Sumner in Dimo- cratic meetin, and when I hev nothin else to say, I alluz do it with the happiest re- suits. But there come mlty pull and an other whisper the mint the name was l menshuned.
 "Don't say nothin about Sumner--Dix- on carries recommendatory letter from him in his pocket. We dodge that "- Dazed and demoralized I commenced agin.
 My friends, you are askt by the Ablishn candidate to vote with a party which only few yeers ago in their midnite lodges wood hev denied the hberty-lovin emigrant l the bal" "Good Lord, man," whispered this cuss. ed chairman, pulling my coat tail till the stitches yawned; ''don't you know that Dix. on was Know-Nothing? We dodge that. T
 Not knowin precisely wat to do, and feel in very much in the condishun uv man after hard nite's drinkin, made anothe, dive:
 "Fellow-citizers, the question for us te consider to nite is, shel we be taxed to pay an unconstooshnel debt made by un-"" That wuz ez far ez I got Agin thai pull-agin that internal whisper: @
 "Don't say any thing agin payia the debt. Some uv our Dimocrisy hold bonds. We dodge that"
 "D-n your Dimocrisy P ejackilated I l angrily. "D-n Democrisy which holds bonds. They must live in seckshuns where the Maine ikker law is enforced. Shel argoo in favor of payin the bonds?"
 "No, don't. A porshen nv our vote i agin it. We dodge that"
 Feelin that there wuz one pint onto wicf I cood talk safely, commenced once more
 "The Republikin party, headed by tha blookoted butcher, Grant"-resoomed I feelin that that must be safe. Vain hope Skasely wuz the words out uv my mouth when that cussed pull occurred agin: "Tech em litely. Dixon is sleepin witt Repubhkins, and hez called upon Grant 1 We dodge that"
