NV Dear M. Editor I'll didn't say
to you when wrote yoo the letter last
week that wrote it on Saturday even
ing. Iknow'd l that you could tell that
by the date Saturday evening and Sat.
urday night by the Speaks is believed to
be the greatest time of all the week
After Wednesday We always look for
ward to it, coming with the biggest hope
that it will be full of the incest fun
that can be scared up in this Seven Star
region; and after it is over until the next
Wednesday we always look back to what
was done on that night Yes. sir. l tell
you that with US Saturday nights are the
big nights of the year. and when l get
through writing for the SENTINEL. l am
agoing to write for pay for the paper
called Saturday Night" am agoing
to write a FIRST cIass story from the Seven
Star Tavern, It shan't be none of your
fine spun dandy6ed love stories that we
find now around everywhere in this coun
try-which Andy jackson once governed
that always ends so nicely just where
the babies and housekeeping comes in
No. cir, Ill write no such stuff a. that.
I'm agoing to write something solid. as
becomes an old jackson Democrat from
the Seven Star. I'm sgoing to write a
State paper-one that will be sure to take
a stand alongside of them articlee that
are sometimes printed in a magazine that
is printed in New York, called "71c Gal
ory" I'm told that that word means
parcel of stars. If it does, you can see
how nice it fits in, to have writer from
the Seven Stars, Greenwood township.
Juniata county I'm agoing to stick to
"!Sdtarsioy Nighs,' though. I'm agoing
to write over my own name-Barton
for that paper. as does Judge
Black, who wanted to be Jackson Dem
ocras in 1860. but missed it just for the
reaeon that he aud James Buchanan
you fellows called him "Old Buck
twisted rope Of sand and tried to hook
it fast to them tarnel Southern fellows
and pull them into the Union. but they
shook their heads and put their fingers to
heir nose and said You cant come it,:
and aneezed. and the rope broke, aud
old Buck" was drowned, and Black
never got to be a jackson Democrat
This State paper of mine for saturday
Night" is not to 60 back any farther in
he history Of the country than to that
great and glorious fighting General An
lrcw Jackson, but shall be devoted main
y to politics in Juniata. where l was
,orn. aud have always lived, and have
never been outside Of the county. excep,
/ few times to Freeburg. Snyder county.
md to my trading place. Liverpool. Per
y county. I'm agoins to give to the
world political biography of the master
# the ring and Of a parcel of his very
,ear and dear political friends, with
complete account Of how they gouge us
I'D line fellows out. 1t makes my blood
,lood bile to thiuk Of it, and thank You
! thousand times for letting me have
:hance to write all about them and their
lad work. I'll do it. Ill not charge
'ou one cent for the work. but rather
han miss having the truth printed in Ju-
'iata. I'll pay you for the printing. But
he printers of "Sutwday Night will
ave to pay me. as they don't have much
f circulation in this county But
most forgot to tell you that a political
history of the "Regis'er" is TO 60 along
With the other.
don't want you to think it hard in
ne when l say that in them State papers
m sgoing to give you Republicans goss
or taking hold of that traitor, Andy |
Johnson. Didn't he make q nice fist of |
imself? The other week l saw in the
Se~tinel' that he's agoing around the
ircle for Doolittle, who is running for
Governor in Wisconsin. Ill bet he'll
1ake nice fist Of Doolittle. He'll be
efeated fifteen thousand anyhow. If you
now any one that wants to bet, send
i'm down, and we II clinch it at the Seven
'tars. If hurts your feelings to read
ow the Republican party has been
bused by that traitor. johnson, why
an send you word what number of the
aper it will appear in. and you do not
eed to read it. That's clever, isn't it.
believe if | would ask you what paper
} write my State paper for. that you
'ould recommend the "Ga'azy" before
le Saturday NgM.' But. as 1 eaid
, the beginning. l always liked Sat
rdoy Night. The name always makes
'e feel good. The only serious thought
bout it is that | am nearing the Satur
ny night of my days am almost SIS
ears old. But I will yet find heap of
IN in writing these letters. On them
ights l am always at home. writing for
lie prese. Everybody will now see my
anne in print and won't bother them
