Year: 1860

TO me tsnever mind, don traise any fuss with
en- or we can't rase the pole, if they leave
u.s." Well, as l was sain, the tree cracked,
and now we was in purity fix. Sum OF cur
friends talked about diggin' another hole,
but that would have bin no foole OF job to
dig hole z feet into terra hrma, at this dry
time, and move the pole and rase it after
clock. Just at this juucter, that same little
Black Republican Cuss and portion of his
friends stepped up and told US how to fix
it by tien ropes from the top of the sica-
more and down to the root of the persimmon
bush that stood behind the sicamore, and
turned in both of EN- and clum the tree and
helped fix the ropes, and in about FIVE min
its we was ready to hist agin. Every feller
took hold now Except two or three lazy
men of our party what was imported from
town., yes, even every feller what worked
down at that abolition saw mill, and don't
you think we allowed that little impu-
dent Black Republican Cuss to do the holler-
in for US, while we was rasin IT. epale, and
he didn't only holer but he pulled ike
hos so much so that between the hollerin
and pullin he was completely exhausted
after the job was up; and right here permit
me to say that l hearn since that Azariah
told sum of the ladies that night, that if it
hadent have bin for him and two or three
more from that Abolition hole on the creek
the pole wouldn't went up. Be this as it may
the pole went up. The next thing was some
thing else. AZarah told us that the illus
trious Jemes wouldn't be thar, but if they
wanted to hear some genuine democracy,
thar was some two or three gentlemen will
ling to favor us with speech, and the only
question was should we have it Low or wait
till candel-light. 1t was suggested that a
vote be taken, whereupon he told them all
that was in favor of havin it now would
stand out by themselves, whereupon sum of
the B. Rs thot it would be a good time to
count noses. Little B. r. G. 4 his partner axed
Az if he went for the Duglis men to stand out
thar, whereupon Az smelled mise and said
oh, no, he wanted all the crowd to vote
Wall the motion was carried, whereupOn
his excelIency mot Governor) Willard of
Enquirer noteriety, was introduced and made
a right, genteel speech, but he was Interrupt
ted once by that same little impudent B. r.
c. When Willard said there was clause in
the Republican platform of So declaring in
opposition to the admission of any more
Slave States into the Union, he (B r. C.)
axed him politely to show the papers, but
said that he didn't want to be impertinent at
all, but if it was ther be should like to see
it and would acknowledge that he didn't
know as much about that document as he
thought he did. Now, thinks |, we'll have
the little d, but TO my surprise, after Will
lard had pulled out the Filidelfa platform and
looked and looked and tnr1ed white behind
the gills, and Whit come and looked saying
he could find it, the clause didn't come nary
time, which fact caused Willard to warm up
with his subject until the close of his speech
which warn't very long. There was two
other speeches and little fun afterwards.
I'll tell you about it in my next epistle.
