Che rod Of their idolatry has been broker

BY that mishap lost its prestige Of Nation.

tho National Democracy. When be was
thrown from his pedestal in Virginia, ma.
nv Of his friends, as well as enemies,
thought he was totally destroyed and
there was no more vitality left in him, for
he WINS horribly mutilated. But it seems
that he was one Of those kind of serpents
we real Of, kind Of lucas natara, called
a"jointed snake" When you hit him a
blow on the back he falls to pieces, and
never can b united as 4 whole again
though each part retains a kind Of spas
modic vitality. powerless for harm, only
by the offensive odor it emits and tho dis
gushing spectacle it presents TO the eyesof

Thus, since the Path Of May, "Sam"
has not been a whole serpent and his
joints have been wriggling and squirming
about in the different States of TIA Union
from chat day 10 this-one peice in one
State and one in :another-thc head in
Massachusetts,, the stomach in New York
and the part which shall be nameless in
Ohio. Rayner, when he was in Phila-
delphia, swallowed the os-coxggis and
took il with him to the "Old North State"
II is true that the soothsayers of tho house
Of samuel" did gather up his fragments
shortly after he was broken to pieces as

trails of the beasts slain for sacrifices,
swear that everything in them plait ly in
dictated that he was fond Of "nigger meat, !"
and that the only thing that would bring
his parts together and make his joints work
harmoniously, as they were wont, would |
be plentiful supply Of that article Of
food, The New Workers said FOR at least
the doctors of the order in that State that
they had examined the stomach critically, /
and found a few f'nigger heads" in it,
But the majority Of the party said that
they lied, and would not believe them:
they said that what was mistaken BY them
for Trigger heads r was only the black
and swollen hearts Of some ofrlthe former
Wing editors Of Virginia, which he, in
his fury, had devoured, orattempting to
worship with the initiated at his shrine,
before he was broken to pieces; and his
followers at the North attribute the muir
lation Of their god greatly to the '.aid and
comfort" they voluntarily and sycophant-
lysoffered to him. In Massachusetts his
head has spoken through Wilson his in
