The Is. C's.


Breecb-Clout Democracy to use the
classic phrase Of Republican editor, is de-
cidedly in the ascendant. The Il. C's are
around. Their war-whoop i heard in other
places than Minnesota. Other victims than
Minnesota woolly-heads have lost their
-ealps. RAxsEY and WILKINSON are not the
only ones sent captive by the Il. c.. to the
beautiful valley OF the saline stream.
There's Wisconsin, for instance. Not
wthstanding Mr.. RASpALL's ardent deyo-
ton TO freedom--his penchant after Office
be was rs III used "a his political brother,
RAMSEY. The Badger are IA unnercifl! as
the .iophers. They scalp beautifully. A
CRoss has been elevated in that state, and it
bears aloft the true political faith. This
was the work Of the B. ca The cruel
dogs. In one year they used up the 20
majority cast for certain Mr.. FREMONT
and defeated one Of his chief captains by a
couple Of thousands.
And there. New York. They have an
organized society Of Il. c. there; they have,
and they boast of it. They have sachems
and Braves by the thousands. Their chief
lodge i. Tammany Hall. Ibis may account
for the short work madc Of tribe, in that
State, once powerful but now weak, called
" Woolies." But twelve moons since, the
Woolies swept the Empire State
when they voted for head men by
eighty thousand majority. Under the
leadership Of the 5achems Of 1amany, the
u. Cs. have just now pulled that major
i,y down TO 10000 less than nothing New.

David"t and Goliah--two individuals who
lived long before the Fort Smelling Reserve
was sold, and who consequently knew
nothing OF the Sunday secret caucus"
In Ohio, the b. C.s were also successful.
They started in for a CuAsg, but he took
refuge with certain legitimate woolies,--who
are known BY the peculiar conformation Of
their feet, and who voted for him, unawfully,
to the number Of 2,000-and was saved =
His scalp was nearly gone, however. As IL
was, he was disarmed the Il. C.'s securing
the Grand Council, thereby depriviDg the
serpent Of his fangs
The b. C.'s are evidently some. They
are great on going in. They don't like TO
go out consequently they don't often go out.
This is great country, and the Il. C.'s are
worthy Of it, and the country is worthy Of
the b. C.s and long may they wave over the
land Of the free and the home Of the brave.

either in south Carolina, or Canada, or France,
or Virginia. He Invented the style Of parting
