Democratic Dictionary! How is the case
One year ago Know Nothingism swept over
the State of Massachusetts, like prarie fire
To.carry out the brilliant idea of. the Pierce
Democracy it struck the state like lightning,
The year 1855, rolls around. and how stands
tbe case? Another streak of blue lightning, a.
larnls and arouses the Pierce Lions from their
lair. Nothing but smoky ruins are seen,
where stood the grand army Of Government
officials on that memorable day,
Poor Pierceism is well nigh washed out Of
the old Bay State. Out of l38,O24 votes cast
but 35 O26, were for the administration! Max.
ing 81, 968 of a maiorityagainst this people
forsaken Administration. Such lightning, SO
terrific and grand, caused the Government of.
fcals Of the old Bay State, to stand agb ast,
everpOwered and subdued. The watch tower
Of Democracy at Washington city, was mount
ed by Gel. Pierce and his staff, to behold the
scene. Scarce had the dark and portentious
storm cloud, passed over the fields Of Massa,
chusetts till the old Empire State was lighted
up with red glare Of KnoW.nohingism alias
anti-Democratic lightning! From the head Of
The Mohawk to the mouth of Che Hudson, was
heard that same thunder, until the cloud gath.
ering in size and doubly charged with electric
jty, strikes with deaGening resound upon the
Eastern Shores of Mary land. Whilst in the
meantime the red ilickering light that ever and
anon flashes upon the vision of Gen. Pierce
and his staff, from the far West, denotes an
pnproptious storm, for the future political har.
vests. And now that Know -nothingsm has
struck the old bay state eecond time, and
blighted the Presidential prospects in the EN-
pire State; the Republican thunders greet their
ears from the State of many lakesP
Where shall this puny Administration hide
its guilty head? Verify already doth it seem
meet, for it to call upon the rocks to cover its
corrupt and sin begirt carcass.
This Administration has scarce friends G.
nough left in Massachusetts and New York to
fll the post Offices.
Let cheers tremendous cheers riproarous!

aud Empire States.
Let the Republicans and Know Nothings oI
the North unite in one common party, as they
did in Ohio, and the Pierce pro.slavcry Don.

Rest assured that there are states south of

States, shonld call the standing army to ait
them and their Missouri rulfians ip their unholy
cause.
