Koon Krick. Possum Koimry, M >.,? Novemher 29, 18.58. 5 To my O'd Friend Jesse I). Bright: Mv Dear Jesse:—fn sorrows I take my pen in hand to inform you that I am well, and hope these few lin-'s may find you enjoying the same great hlessin. D'ar Jesse. J have bin sorter duinbfound- ■ ered - e ver rii ce tl.e lection news begun to .•each me this fall, and have no' rit a word to any one. The lections ami the nger have plaid the j devil w ith <ur foks ths fall. The lection was worse th in the nger, for it was only the j ! b ivs that shook w ith the ager, and it was meth.it shook with the lections. Besides) the boys have got the sh.kos.broken on . j them, and I sh ik > or tremble every time I : ) th : nk of the lection of 1860. I feel likJ Saying w’ith S i-tke.spear, “O for a home in some vast wildernes I Smti" boundless Kout -n<mt!o shade, Wiier 1 Jection iiewsmig it never reach my ear." It is pretty near the last of pea time w ith you. dear Jesse, I say it in sorrow, for I did i want to see you in the Presidential chair, I and mvseit have a mishun or agency, but ’these lection have played the devil with our kalkulations. D.mgl is is sustained, and will givens' truhle unb-ss we let him in'o the pary agin. ! if he is let. in he will want-to rule. As much ) as I liate these Bl ick Republicans I did want ; L’ncoln to beat D itigfas. What, a sorry figure the real sim >n-pme i dimokruts cut itt lil uois—not 2500 v rt.es. I Ir must h. ve gritted O il Buck vey much: but he should remember, by the Way of k-n----solatton, that a gre.it many of our friends ’ down in Egipt still continue t> vote for Gincral Jackson. Whole pn sinks down there vote for Old Hickory at every lection. ' These are the very best dimokr.its in t e ! w rid; but I d > think as we are h trd pres- 1 sed now. be g> >d policy for these’ Idi iiokrais to’linow that Gincral Jackson is 'dead. Speaking of Egipt reminds me of a ste--ling dimokr.itick paper published down there, ; ; called the iNeics. P pitches into the woollyheads just right., and Old Buck should give ' it some public printing. 1 hear make an ex’rict iron it ti> it. speaks nr - sentiments .exactly: "Our politics— : 'or to be neutral in a land o: libei tv is to be nothing, of n > effect—will Ibe conservatory. BHng convinced of the .visd >lll of policy pursued by the great D> inner.itc pn 'ty for m 1 ay y ■ 1 s inst, by the su -cess o tie ir im usui’cni, th • present pn-s----rberitv ot the country, and the glor <>us futu e th.it appeu’s to wait it; we shall lend our hu nbie aid in adv it e ng tn 1 disseminating the integrity aj the Union. The pary that has iso long ami ah y sto 11 the 'the stu m - wi n ; w -ves were r ugh' ga ns who tr-tiiliuunl' plat orm political animosity missile that hate could suggest, or malevolence invent,must possess those enduring elements ol goodness and justii e w Idch gives to the greatest number h ippiness and prosperity.” Now contrast th is paper with those black Republican p ipers. Where is there one ot jthemlike this dimokratick sheet, lending ) their abilities to -adv inee an 1 disseminate the integrity of the Union!"’ No; belme tltyy would take the tr> üble to advance and j disseminate the Union, it might slide. In j sustaining such papers, out-of the 1 reasury, I the President should recollect that he isdis- | semi 11ati.ng the integrity ol this glorious Union, which the black republicans are try- j I ing to prevent. ; Old Pa. goiHj by the treachery of Forney: liaint that horable! New York too, which we-was so sure of I (carrying by the aid of (lured Smith, gone! Smith want any where. His 50.000 votes I dwindled dow n to 5,000. ) I tell you, Jesse, what is the truth, we have pushed mutters a little too fast in this ' niggar business, just to please the South. I Now it you could have got the South to held up a little ami given us abon’ two years to Lett hed the boys in the free States over from S in-itter Suvranty and the decision in the, ) Supreu e Court, sustaining slavery iu the (

territories against tfie will of the squatters, wc would have made matters about right. But so sndilin change was too much for sum of our boys whose democracy want impregnated quite deep enough. Now the South are urging a skive kode for the territories. Jesse, tell them it will never do at this crisis. They can have the kode if they will let ins ease up for a while on slavery extenshnn and reg tin our strength in the free States, but if they d.» not all is lost. Plead with theme, dear Jesse. Did you notice t l, at our Governor pointed a 1 h.ihksgiving day. Well, our boys had a good time on th it day shifting for ttwkeys and drinking- whi-key. Some of the know nothin’s and black republicans think Steward pointed the day to make friends with the preacher.- and pius people, but I think since he has got wcß thrashed lie is more s t .irital inclined. Give my respects to our beloved Dick Slater. Tell him not to injure bis health in watching and abst’nence. « Yours, in the bonds of our party,

PERER PRINGLE.
