First and Last Speech.
From Connecticut came to me the
Massedonian cry. Come over and help
u.s." Ez the Committee, in private
note, ashoored me Nv supplies I accept
i'd with alacrity. Couple Massedonian
cries with likker ad Hbitum, and it is
not in my poor, weak, human nacher to
resist. | shood respond even were [
stretched on bed NV sicknis But 60
to Connecticut willinly, fur | like her
Dimocrisy. Durin the late unpleasantnis
witch RESULTED so disastrously to the
South, the Dimocrisy Nv that State new
er wavered in their support Nv the cause
Nv Southern rites, and after the struggle
wuz transferred from the field to the po-
litikle arena, nowhere did we find more
stedfast friends. Nowhere wuz Their
SIGH genuine, deliteful hatrid Nv the Mig
ger-nowhere wuz there more earnest
opposishen to all the measures proposed
by the Infamous Ablishnists, which hev
so long held us under their iron heels
Then agin, the likker witch the Dimocri-
sy NV Connecticut drink is the most
sarchin Nv any ever tastid. There is
a grip in tit takes hold Nv the centre
Nv life with more vishusnis than any I
ever got hold Nv.

depended on me to infoose suthin like
enthusiasm into the campane. l wuz

Dimocrisy, gentlemen, is eternal prin-
sipple which, like the everlastin hills,
kin never change. Ez some Nv you may
never hev he'd the pleasure Nv heerin
that celebrated speech, will give you a
synopsis Nv it. After alludln briefly to

The Chairman begged me to pause.
''On general prinsipples, . sed he,

friend in damnin the Niger But it
will hardly do in this State at this time,
to indulge in that most natral damain.
The fact is. Mr.. Nasty, there is several
thousand niggers in Connecticut, and
they vote! Dimicrisy can't afford te
damn any class witch votes. Give Mr.
Nasty drink,

Il protest agin the nigger-a Nash.

Dimocrat, must perpetually protest agir
the niger but l recognize the sitooash
en- here, and will struggle to adapt my
self to it. I will do violence to ms
Dimocrisy and my feelins, and let tn.
Niger alone. But while I am willir
not to abuze him on general prinsiples
