A NAsBY LETTER; dated New Or
leans, December IS, 1867, addressed to
President Johnson, contains passages
that will have currency through this
campaign. We quote:
"I found Moo Orleens in tremor of
joy. The principal biznis citizens is
again about the streets clappin their
hands and hollerin 'Hallelujier.' The
order of the great and good Hancock
heZ restored cOnfdenz in the buZzums
Nv our friends and CONSERVATION in the
breasts Nv our enemies. Juries, thank
God, are no more polluted with niggerS
onto 'em. They are now drawd from
the old citizens, many of which served
under Boregard in the late unpleasant
ness. Bizness, therefore, goes on with
out delay. EZ a sample of how much
biznis is facilitated, l may mention that
in one Court there Wuz A cases in
which niggers wuZ plaintiffs, and As in
which niggers wuZ defendants. The
tryin Nv all these cases okepied hours
/ and 10 minutes. The verdics in the A
cases being invariably fur the defend
ants, and in the 45 other cases fur the
plaintiffs. Nv the time specified. 2
hours and % minutes Wuz consumed by
the niggers in payin the costs. 1t is
singular thing how wrong the niggers
alluz IL. Thet wich pertieklerly binds
Gen. Hancock to Us IL that part Nv hiz
order wich prohibits the military from
bein at the polls. 1t is eggtremely prob
able that the Etheopeans Nv Amerikin
descent will be centrally persuaded not
to vote at all. The citizens of Texas
hev way Nv perSwadin the nlggers
when they aint uncOnstitoOshunally i'll
terfered with, that will, think, enshO0r
the triumph Nv correct principles in
that State A native Texan, a gentle
MAN who IL now in Moo Orleans a pur-
chasin cartridges for nreyolvers, to
be used in reconstructin the State, gave
me sich information az precloOded the
necessity NV my goin personally to in
spect.
Il would suggest that you, to wunst,
take the last orders Nv Gen. Hancock
and make it the subjec Nv messige to
Congris. Detale in full the Generals
talk here, and add to it eZ only yoo kin.
Tell congriss the Gen. is agoin to make
the law the rool NV his conduck, and
that he proposes to uphold the corts and
civil authorities, and will only yooS his
military to these ends agin the niggerS.
Sling in suthin to the effeck that Amer
lean liberty (wich in this country, IL
pekoolyer variety of the artikle) is still
an inheritance NV the white people, and
shell allus be. Tell EN- that when SOL
jer hez Unlimited power i'll hiZ hands,
and refooses to yoos it for the purpos NV
satisfyin selfish ambishun, he presents
hefty sample Nv Virtoo under difficult
ties. 1t wood be well at this pint to
compare Hancock with Washington,
maxim the difference merely um nOmi-
nal. Say that there may be officers III
the army besides Hancock who initiates
Washington, but you haven't sot eyes
onto EN- ez yit. Assert that Hancock IL
the first officer in command, sence the
close NV the lat onpleasantness, wat hez
given utteruns to sich sentimence in hiz
orders, and demand that congris shell
vote him gold medil.
81 sejsst that this be done to wunst,
for reasons wieh are obvus. We desire
Hancock to continue in well-doin, but
ez that Weldon in our behalf mite lead
to his nominashen for the Presidency, it
il well enough to kill him off in that di-
rection so soon eZ he IL commits d.
Don't let Seward diloot it, or Randall
polifox it. Put in my naked ide: g.
clothed in your terse and vigrus ]; n
guidge, and you will hev done a gCod
thing. l repeated them to the lead II
officers NV the Lost Cos Club, and the
idee was rapcherOusly received.
