The clecshun went oft' magnificently.
Never did I see, in all my experience,
which hez bia very great, sich exten
t sive preparations made. Bascom's bar
wuz made free. Deekin Pograni, Kurnel
Mel'elter and myself, one tiv wick holds
a government otlis, and the other two

I opened the polls, usin for the pur
pus a hat, and votiu conuncust lively. I
put in two, Bascom slipt in three under
different names, and the other faithful
ones voted ez many times ez they thot
nessary. About 10 o'clock Pollock came
up to vote, at which I wuz surprized.
When I say surprised I mean it. The
very presence uv the man at sich a time

Kentucky—a man who holas views so
totally dill'erent front ours, persoom to
vole at these ere polls ? Never"
And Issaker, bilin over with ra! , e,
went for him, iu with he wuz assisted by
the entire balance of the Corners. The
wretched man paid a heavy penalty fin.
Ins insolence. Ile wuz carried oil by
some sympathisin niggers, a were wreck
uv Ins former self.
A little later the "Yoonyun men," as
they called themselves, upon Pike Run,
come down to vote. But Issaker and
McPelter reasoned with 'em. Kernel.
McPelter's remarks wuz pertickerly im
pressive. They asserted that ez Ameri
can citizens they lied a right to vote,
and shoot% do so at all hazards. The
Kernel in reply stated to cm that the
Corners wuz a thin for their liberties--
that no matter what their abstract: rites
mite be, the Corners cood not permit
herself to be contaminated with Ablishm
votes. "Shood you attempt it," sell he
impressly, "the blood uv the Corners
I will be up, and I won't be answerable
for the consekenees. Beware !"
They passed forerd, when from among
otn• people a single shot wuz heard, and
the head one iw em, a preacher, fell
writhin in the dust.
I pitied the poor wretch, but wat kin
we do ? Why will the come about us,
irritatin our people with their incenjary
votes ? That man lied a family. Wat
reason will he give them, when lie's car
ried home ded, for his untimely deeeese ?
It's ever thus. The Ablishnists will
never let us alone. And yet I spore
hireliu and subsidized press in the North,
hi face of the provocashen we received,
will accuse us uv murderin this man !
Our ambishen wuz to hey the vote
clean Dimekratic. But it wuz not so.
At about 1 P. M., Joe Bigler, who hed
heerd uv the doins, come to the polls.
Issaker and McPelter wuz a gom to per
vent him from votin, but the villain
drawd a revolver the niinit they lookt at
him, and they partid, makin a lane for
him to the hat.
"Does any one challenge my vote ?"
sed he, cockin his weepon. "In' so, let
em speck."
But no one interfered, and I took it.
When we countid out there wuz barely
one Ablishin ballot in the hat. It wuz
Bigler's. But we were neer enta yoo
nanimus, and we perpose to keep so.
The process is simple,' It consists mere
ly in shootin all who differ with us.
'thus we hey peece at home.
Our politikle prospecks are mixed.
The reduckshen uy the tax on whisky
inclined many uy our voters toward Re
publikinism, but I headed this orf by
swearing that the Democrisv wuz pledged
to take it orf altogether. The Northern
papers assertin that Blare's letter don't
mean revolushen is hurtin us some, but
that is more than balanced by the ease
with wick we organize. Yesterday
an entire regiment in the Confedrit ser
vis organized as a Seymore and Blare
Club—retaiuin their officers ez doorin
the war, and yoosin the identikle rolls,
Hags and sich. It aids us wonderful.

Jack—Yes f. and now the, Democratic
part . V proposes to pay off the bonds with
greenhacks, and thus every man will be
treated equally.
Pat—The devil ye say ! is that the way ?
Jack—Not in so many words, but that
is what it means. Aud now, Pat, 1 want
you to do all you can for our party :
bring all the boys out to all the meetings,
and--
Pat--Ifould on, Jack will 3 - er paying
the bonds dr in greenbacks make the
Boor man as rich as the bondholder?
Jack--Not exactly ; the bondholder
will have his money in greenbacks, where
we can tax them.
Pat—Then there will be all greenbacks,
and money will be plenty, and we'll git
Would for our greenbacks, if we elect Say
flour.
Jack—No, not exactly ; there is not
gold enough in the country.
Pat—Thin we are not to have gould at
all. How in the divil are ye going to pay
on' the greenbacks?
JackL-A part of it will be paid oft' by
taxation, the money we take from the
people for revenue and stamps, &c., and
as the greenbacks Fet worn by constant
handling we will print new ones.
Pat—Hould on--an idea strikes one.
If the Government debt is all in green
backs, and thim in circulation, how many
cords of 'em will it take to buy a cord of
wood?
Jack—l cannot say exactly what they
would he worth--that will regulate itself.
But, by the by, I'at, could you pay me
that little note you owe me Y It was due
yesterday, and I need the money very
much.
Pat—Vis, I know the note is due, and
I'll pay ye according to the Dimmecratie
platfrm.
Jack— what do ji 01l 'newt?
Pat—l inane I'll give you a fresh note
for the one ye have.
Jack—There's nothing about giving
fresh notes in the Democratic platform.
Pat—Yis, ye said we'd pay the bond
off in greenbacks, and both of them are
promises to pay of the same Government.
Ye's give one promise to pay fin• another
one, and I'll give you a fresh promise to
pay for the one ye have now. The note
you have now says ten per cent. interest,
and no time set for its payment.
Jack—But this is an individual matter,
and the other is a Government matter.
You honestly owe me, and promised to
pay me yesterday. Your proposition is
to cheat me out of my money.
Pat—An' its cheatin' ye out of your
money is it? An' haven't I as good
right to chate ye as the Government has
to chate the widies and orphans whose
money is all in the Government bonds?
I'll pay ye on the Dimmecratic platform.
