HUMBUG.

Some time since the New York IriJune
contained an editorial cali for "a subscrip,
ton in aid of the cause of Freedom in Kan
sas.' 1t was we'll known by all sensible
persons that the "call'' was made merely
for political effect and that honesty was
not IN element involved in the scheme
The money required was really intended to
pay for the manufacture of political clap
trap, TO BE- used entirely for political cleo
tioneering purposes and to constitute a
Black Republican fund, a large portion Of
which was TO be paid to the propretors of
Abolition papers for printing Abolition
and disunion documents for general cir
culation"
Crazy politicians had previously paid as
much as they could afford for Sharpe's ri
iles, and another avenue to their purses
must be found Another genus of lcechcs
must needs be used, and Greely d Go. in
vented an entirely new phlcbotomising pro-
cess, which they flattcrcd themselves wo'd

"Flapdood.e' see Marryatt was ex-
tensively lavshed upon the dollar giving
stupids who worship Fremont and Greeley,
but DESPITE the immense efforts of the IA
malgamalionists only Sill 80 have been
contributed to the fund, $ of which came
from Jersey City! Greeley d. Co. are in
despair, and rather than admit the humili-
aling fact that the niggeriles think more of
Their dollars than their principles, the Trib

be paid, the object being to prove" that
the niggerites are benevolent, philanthroplc
and patriotic.
There are a number Of professed Niger

most popular boats on the river. But there is one

that is SO hard to keep and is so often violated,
that it is pretty much like the laws of Draco.

good and beautiful, but makes it capital offence
for them TO fall IN lore with the Captain. You
will think that this stern rule, SO impossible to
be kept, would deter all but old ladies from tray-
elling on the Magnolia-not a bit of it. One
sees more young and beautiful ladies on the
Magnolia in charge off Capt. T., than on any
other boat. This is strange, bat it is so-Alas!
