Letter from Uncle Zeke YO-

SLICK WAY. FAYETTE Co

state ana 1inu out how the sovereign
= stand i'm reference to the many dis
, tinguished gentlemen who wOuit
, like to have the nomination for Gov
ernOr, and other matters ofinterest t
our once proud Democratic party
The last election caused my hear
strings to snap like the strings on
boys first fiddle. / did not find bu
one man but what said d--n the las
Legislature. Our distinguished Gov
erneOr redeemed himself by vetOine
the Cow Bill; also by his sweet sOOtf.
ing policy i'm sending Gen. Castleman
to the mountains to persuadethe God
~ people to obey the laws of theState
All of which meets my appreciation
and the voters of Kentucky. No doubt
but that he will succeed the Scotch
man in the United States Senate, at
least he will get Zeke's vote. This
thing of coercion is all wrong, for in
stance the hanging Of Niger Pash at
BardstOwn; forcing the poor fellow
was all wrong. If we were to have
another rebellion, Governor Knott
could send Gen. Castleman to the re-
belliOus States and settle the matter
without blOOdshed. God bless and
save Knott for his peaceful solution
of our troubles i'm Kentucky and
when he dies he ought to be placed
in Mt. Vernon beside Washington.
WHO STRUCK BOLIvER BUCKNER
Was it Billy Patterson, or Justice
Hines? Your uncle Zeke thinks it was
Hines. L, as Durham's best man will
Withdraw his name as a candidate for
Governor My reason for so doing is
that received private confidential
letter from Grover, stating that he
could not spare him at Washington,
so you see that settles the question.
