  Dixie's Original One-Man Band   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Born in New York City in 1801, he was the eldest son of John Hewitt, a prominent New York musician who had led the orchestra at the court of King George III of England before coming to America.
Although Hewitt was often invited to the homes of his affluent pupils, he felt snubbed by the students' fathers because they did not invite him to participate in their political discussions after the meal.
Hewitt desperately wanted to be accepted in these social circles and so, after spending only a year in Augusta, in 1824 he moved to Columbia, South Carolina, to study law.

In the previous century the trial of John Peter Zenger in New York in 1735 was concerned with political ballads.
John Hill Hewitt, the son of James Hewitt, wrote one of the first songs to be generally regarded as truly American, The Minstrel’s Return’d from the War (1825).
Hewitt wrote ‘answer’ songs: The Fallen Oak (1841) was inspired by Henry Russell’s Woodman, Spare That Tree, and I Would Not Die at All parodied Foster’s I Would Not Die in Spring Time.

 Origins: Few Days - I Can't Stay in These Diggins
I presume that you are referring to the words by John Hill Hewitt and found in Levy Sheet Music and (with errors) in pdmusic.org, with the title "Few Day's." Note the apostrophe, which sets this version about 'diggins' apart from the political campaign and freed slave versions.
Both American Memory and Levy Sheet Music have copies of the political versions, and the song was printed in folios of minstrel songs in the 1850s.

Benjamin Tubb's Public Domain Music site is packed with information about various little known American composers, including John Hill Hewitt (1801-1890).
Music is provided in MIDI format, with extensive examples of Hewitt's songs and a whole comic opera, Rip Van Winkle.
There's no real musical interpretation, though -- the notes have been scanned from manuscript, so it all sounds rather wooden.
