THE Nasty LETTERS.
The Corners Hears from New uampshire-
PieOu- Appeal for the Old Dispensa-
CoSrEDrIT Y RoADs,


il. Their wuz weepin and wailin at the
Corners at the reject NV the moose. The
boy who brot the paper containin it,
from Secessionvlle, came in weepin per-
loosely, and Bascom's mule, wich he rid,
wore ez mournful expression NV coun'
tenance ez | ever saw on mule. THAT
mule is NV Dimol<ratic tendencies like
the rest NV us. He never did stroke
NV work in his life when he Good help
it.) And when | read the nooze TO EN-,
in Bascom's, NV the last Abllshin tri-
umph, they all wept. Teers ez large ez
hazelnuts chased each other down the
venerable face NV that blessed Saint,
Deekin Pogram. They plowd ther way
thro the dirtcrust, washin each its
channel, till they wuz stopped by the
resistance NV the accumulations they
he'd washed aiore EN-. Ez the fountain
howd on the dams would give way, and
the outward evidences NV his grief gush
in spasmodic streams. Perfoose weepin
does the Deekin good, once in long
while, ez it partially washes his face.
Issaker Gavitt wuz also profoundly
Affected, and Col. McPelter and Deekln
Pennibacker, both NV whose recoIlec-
tons are most military remarked, the
Kernel thet he hedn't felt so bad sence
the takin Nv ViXburg, and the Deekln
tibet he hedn't experienced SIGH pangs
sence his wife died.
We he'd calke lated on Moo Hamp-
sheer, ez the first indicashen Nv the
revolooshen NV populer feelin again
Grant and Republikinism, and ez we
he'd everything in our favor, we wuz GER
tin NV victry. We he'd neglected no
precaushens to enshoor a Democratic
success. Greeley's TriJoon he'd been cir
culated freely thro the State, by our
Central Committee, ez Dlmokratlc
campane document, and the Demokratlc
members NV Congress tranked, | spose,
at least four tons Nv Schur' and Trum-
bulls speeches to the Republicans NV
that State. We had expected to be
able to say the next mornin after that
elecshun,
"Noo Hampsheer hez spoken y
"Scathin Rebook Nv Grant y
"The call NV the people for the
Dimocrisy to assoom the reins Nv
Power y
So strongly he'd | calkelated on a
triumph in Moo Hampsheer and the
consekent eleckshun NV aConstitooshnel
Dimekrat % the Presidency, that |
stedfastly refoozed to 90 into any biznes,
confidently expectin my Post Offs back
agin in March NV next year. How
gloated over the pleasure Nv kickin that
niger which now desecrates that place,
out Nv the front door and how !
reveied over the prospeck Nv wunst
more hevin the letters contain
in remittances TO open and contis
cate ! need not say that Bascom WIZ
ez anxious on this head ez was, Tor |
hev become burden to him.
But all this is done and gone. Moo
Hampsheer hez spoke, but her voice
isn't the voice NV the turtle dove in the
spring. She went back onto US. The
Tfijo0n wuz read, but the people he'd
also red suthin else-Schurz spoke, but
Wilson's voice wuz more potent. Moo
Hampsheer is Ablishen, and our over
charged souls find relief at the eyes.
We weep.
There IS trouble all around. Tan
many has busted, Tweed hez come to
grief, Fisk is dead, the Erie ring is dead,
and it does seem that all the combina-
shens NV thieves in the country hev sue
cumbed TO some mysterious influence
wich can't comprehend. Everything
witch wuz lovely to Dimocrisy, or part
Nv it, hez bin smitten ez with the be-
som NV destrucshen.
We want suthn approximatin to the
condishen Nv things ten years ago, re
stored TO us. Oh them happy days
There wuz no railroads, no skOOls, nc
meetin-houses, no nothin. There WIZ
niggers q raisin corn and hogs, and
there wuz their owners In the barroom:
consumin the produx NV their toll. Thel
wuz horse racin, there wuz draw-poker
there wuz whisky, there wuz mulattC
girls there wuz skool masters TO shoot
preachers TO tar and feather, there WI.
everything that made life pleasant anc
lively. All this the fell sperit of Abli
shun destroyed, and Kentucky, eff i
isn't stopped, will become ez near lik'
Ohio as two peas. We don't expect al
Nv this back agin, but we did want tC
get ez near it ez possible.
Shell we appeal in vain? Hevin for
bid. Promise the people anything the.
want. IF they want suffrage, promis
it. Ef they are down on the nigge
promise that. Ef they are for repoo
diashen, repoodiate, and eff they are TO
the payment NV the debt, tar anC
feather any repoodiator 700 kin get ye
claws on. Ef they want one thing il
one seckshun and the reverse in an
other, promise both that is if you XII
keep the two seckshuns from hearts
from each other afore the eleckshun.
Don't be ateerd NV ofisndin us Nv tn
Corners by anything 700 may do. | he
educated our people to full undo
standin ez to the needs of the hour. w
know perfectly we'll that watever 20
may say will be sed to meet an exigenc!
afore an eleckshun, and that it wor
count afterward. We know that whe
Demekratic President is finally electi,
that Dimocrisy, now apparently
dispirityd, inconsistent instooshun wi
wheel into line, and be controlled ez
alluz wuz by US NV the shivelrous soutl
