THE VETERAN STATESMAN GOING INTO
| "rGGsIIE''-"T CORNERS REPUDI-
ATE THE OLD MAN AND REFUSE LONGER
TO SUPPORT HIM.
The Yoonited States is no place for Il
! Dimocrat any more. radical general
sets in the pre>ilenshel chair. and a rad.
ikel C"ngris controls the destinies nv the
nashen. This Congris hez a feendi>h de-
lite in tearing open the wounds that time
sho"ld hev heeled. 1t will do nothin to
consulate the su!frin South. 1t will re-
fnose to pass appropriateness for our
creeks in the South: it wont levec the
Mississippi it wont bid custom house
and post offs at the Corners. and. to cap
the climax. it reIooses IT, pay 10000 Cor
the papers NV evry Confenrit general wich
is hard up and to whom 100000 wood be
a blessin.
For me there amt no chance watever.
The niger, Lubbock, will continyoo in
the post offs, and Bi.ler and Pollock will
control the colltctorship. ! am left in
| the cold for four Years and by that time
a post offs wood be u superiority, for
1854 I shrl be wher Their amt no mail
matter onlcss thcr are tireproof bags to
carry it in. Aud to make it worse, Han
cock wont send me cent. and English
wont even anser my letters appeelin for
aid.
The Corners held meetin to detcrmin
wat wuz to be done with me. 1t WAS de-
sided that the burden NV carin for me
WIZ too heavy to be borne longer, and
su,hin must lie done to ease EN- up.
\ kceriul estimate showed that | owed
in round numbers suthin over $4,000. wich
WIZ that much dcd loss. Bascom swore
a sollum oath that he woold never give
credit for dollar more to me and that
settled il. | didn't care what they did
with me after that.
The prevalin di>po>ishun NV the people
wuz to- take me out quietly and kill ne;
but that wuz ovcrluled. 1t wuz desided
that eff | WIZ permitted to live suthin
mite turn up to enable me to pay suthln
on the Indebtedness, whereas, eff wuz
wunst ded. all hope WIZ gone.
So they decided that shood live, but
I must leve the Corners. | sad, "All
rite but how am to leve? hev no mony
and | absolutely decline to walk, and
when am gone wat am to live on:
| These questions must lie answered or
decline to 60. E. hev to die l mite ez
well die here, and save the worry NV
packin my Handkerchief with my o.her
shirt"
| Then rose long and tejus discussin.-.
Deckin Pngram remarks that his dauter
Nirandy told him that the Greeshuns
he'd a habit of maxim their helots drunk
so ez to impress onto the minds NV ther
sons the horrors Nv intempranse. why
sed the dekin, ''shoodent We send the
parson to Greese, and put him into the
helot biznis?'
To this eagerly esentid. I WIZ willip
to go. Els they wantid healthy helo'
IL illustrate the evils NV intempranse.
suz the man, and tn relieve her minds
wood say that in this case salery wood be
no objick. stiddy sitooashen bein all
trat wood reqwire. l he'd no doubt Nv
bein able to satisfy the Athenians in this
pertikler. Ell the average son NV the
average Athenian sh"od see me wen
wuz RELY full NV coffin varnish. | don.
link he wood ever vencher to parta'
NV the flown bole. Raise the moneN
the passage, and consider me hels
the remainder of my life. 1t is ,tsN'
wat luck some men hev. Why W. oNN
horn helot? Think NV it. Toy s.N
