IEcurIoN Of that nupibey oT Col. Webb's Paper coz Eoining the First Ne,p. York Election Neus, 6y LO cO-FOcO Post Muster tn WOIcOittiHe. Thou curthed pack of Whiggith hthrs, As ever met Christian's cyfhes, How dare ye come within my door, Where nothing vile e'er came l'eforc Where Litchfeld IAsn and winkum casks, The Hartford Times with brandy Aasks, Where Extra Globes and foamng ale, Hot whisky punch, Van Buren's mail, Are all in fogo order fx'd, Like toddy brew'd, together mix'd, With nought to break tn harmonious state But thy curst, croaking, lying prate o did l know who thent you here, I'd cut his throat from ear to ear; Tdlet him know the empire whigs Were born to suck the striped pigs" John Rogers felt the Cath'lic ire Thou too, like him, shall smell the fire; Nor righteous Calh'lic shall excel, In sending heretics to h-n. r... . Ho George Ho Sam stir up that fire, Pile on the wood, stiIl more, s.ih higher. Now blaz'd aloft the funeral pile,'' And grinning deep ghastly smile Twas such a grin as erst before, Few mortal faces ever wore;
 In fact, such look was never known, Except when Crockett erinn'd the coon; When murder'd brute and riven tree, Alike both felt it's potency. ae.. .s,~ With pious benediction sent, ... Swift on the fire the victim went. But oh what means that wond'rous stare? 7? What whiggish miracle was there :? The fire, though hot as that which glow'd When Balloons king the bellows blow'd, Refused to scorch, and not feather Was hurt by grin and fire together. Short time had he to learn the reason Of such rebellious fire-proof treason. When on his frightened vision burst, A wonder greater than the first; The mammoth sheet" its form outspread, Like blanket on a featler.bed,
 Each corner now, from first to last, A fire-dog seized and held it fast, And upwards now, wondrous sight. Like air balloon, it took its flight. Wood, fire and smoke, shovel and tobgs, Gently aloft were borne along; . Like Boa's throat the opening flew, . Distended wide and let it through; And rising now in realms of air, It shone .sun-bright glory there. Some said twas Vans Snb-treasury box, With all its bolts, and bars, and locks; Some thought twas Satan-foolish fear! For what could he be doing here, Where honest Wings cannot be caught, And Locos all long since were bought7 But who could doubt with open eyes, Forevery word increas' in size? The higher was its airy flight,
 Each word and letter grew more bright. No black Bentonian lines were there. No word erpunged, but all was fair; And whether read this way or that, ..~s Twas all the same-'lwas glory's fiat. s. The empire whigs have strengthened matters. And Marcy brooches torn to tatters, And every loco rav'd b see it, And every whig shouted So be it." .. How high it went, 'tis bard to say, Twas plainly seen and read mex, day, Far, far beyond the stn's bright sphere, Still rising fast in his dareer.
 Twas going then with all its power, At least ten thousand miles an hour; Each star and planet as it pass'd. Cried Ship ahoy where bound so fast? Eve come aoft to lei you know The locos are done up below;
 1bear the glorious news sky high" Thank ye, kind friends, good speed. good bye ; As say the priests who preach in prose, A few reflections now shall close.
 Whate'e CT goes up-the sayings true Comes down again-'tis sure to do. From this old maxim we may learn, That these hot fire dogs will return; But when they'll come, or where their track, You'll find it in the Almanac.
 And if you live to see 1t wrote, ~ E For fire dogs bout these days look out; And bout those days you hear strange thunder. Take my advice, and stand from under. WIolcostpiLs, Dec. ], 1898. PiSDAR, Jr. CONFESSIONS or THE ENEMY.-An able correspon
