Der second thought" Nv the people Nv
that State wood bring about a change,
but it didn't. That sober second thought
won't do to depend onto. The ginooine
dimokrat hez no sober thought, nor no
second one. The sober man who thinks
twice alluz hez most unaccountable
habit NV votin with the ablishnists.
To Connecticut now we turn our hope
full eyes. In Connecticut there is still
potency in our old watchword, Ameri-
ky for white men p and the troo Con-
necticut Dimocrat still shudders wheE
yoo demand Nv him sternly, "Do you
want to marry nigger?' Then its
proximity to Moo York is pint in our
favor, for its cheeper to transport voters
form that city, than to any other State,
except Moo Jersey. To yoose military
phrase, wich l Termed when l wGz in SER
Wis in the Loozeaner Pelikins, Connecti-
cut is near our base of supplies. It's too
expensive to do it in Pensylvany, and we
shell never try that State agin.
A. johnson desired me to 60 to Con-
necticut to assist Dixon, and / spent one
day in that biziness. johnson loves
Dixon, and is anxshus that he shell be in
the House when he gifts back into the
SENT. "Tnen," sed he, there'll be two
NV us" made my way to a rooral
town in his deestrict, and arranged for
meeting to address. There was a goodly
attendance, and / congratulated myself
upon pleasant and profitable season.
Strikin an attidood l commenced by
remarkin that the eyes Nv the country
wuz jist at this time restin onto the
first deestrik Nv Connecticut, and that
the country spectid the eleckshun of that
noble patriot, James Dixon. / proposed
to examine breefy the record of the man
for whom | solissited their votes.
At this pint the cheerman Nv the
meetin pulled my coat tale violently.
"Well!" sed | angrily, for | wuz a
gettin on most olokent sweat, and when
I git to perspirin oratorically / don't like
to be interrupted, "wats the matter p
"Don't menshun his record !' whisper
ed he in my left ear. "We dodge that"
But before l could enter upon that, !"
sed l, slidin off NV that sunken rock, II
shall say few words regardin the mon
strous proposition to force niger suffrage
onto Connecticut. Do yoo-"
Again my coat tale wuz pulled, and
another nervous whisper.
"Don't menshun suffrage-he voted
for it twice. We dodge that
"Do yoo desire" resoomed /, some
what staggered, for niger suffrage is my
best holt, and when deprived NV it | am
at sea without chart or compass. Do
you desire the oldnarrer idea NV the silk
stockened Wing"
For the Lords sake, DON'T" wuz the
next whisper. "Dixon wuz whig-
We dodge that"
Thatis-wich isl struck out Wild
ly-"do you desire to have. the her estes
NV that impracticable Ablishnist, Charles
Sumner"
| sposed NV course this was safe. It's
alluz proodent to abooze Sumner in a
Dimocrat meetin, and when / hev moth
ing else to say, l alluz do it with the
happiest results. But there come a
mighty pull and another whisper the
mint the name wuz mentioned.
"Don't say nothin about Sumner
Dixon carries a recommendatory paper
from him in his pocket. We dodge that
Dazed and demoralized l commenced
agen.
"My friends, you are askt by the Alb
lishn candidate to vote with party on
ly a few years ago in their midnite lodg
es, wood hev denied the liberty-lovin EN-
igrant the bal"
"Good Lord, man." whispered thi
cussed chairman, pullin my coat tail til
the stitches yawned; "don't you kn'
that Dixon was Know Nothin? w
dodge that"
Not KNOWN precisely wat to do, an,
feelin very much in the condishn NV
man after hard mites drinkin, 1 mad
another dive:
Fellow-citizens, the question for u
to consider to-nite is, shel we be taxed t
pay an unconstooshenel debt, made b,
an un-"
That wuz ez far ez l got. Agin tina
pull-agin that internal whisper:
Don't say anything agin payin tn
debt. Some of our Dimocrisy hol
| bonds. We dodge that"
"D-n yoor Dimocrisy !" ejacilatid
angrily.
"D-n Dimocrisy wich holds bond
They must live in seckshuns where tn
J Maine likker law is enforced. Shell | al
goo in favor NV payin the bonds ?"
