VIII ne 90 with 1t I" Are you going to divide
the Mississippi River ? If so, how much of it
are you going to give us Amt you going to
let your boys float RATS down it2 What are Won
going to do with Yankee Doodle? divide that
toof Excessive laughter) What part of the
Fourth of July are you going to give us and
what part will you take? What are Won going
to do with the graves of Washington and those
in hn
battles of the Revolution
Dissolve the Union For Gods sake don,t
let us hear any more of this miserable cry about
diSsolVing the Union. These men who fiji the
galleries clamor for disunion sentiments Don't
they know if the Union was dissolved these mar
Die palaces will become habitations for bats and

G1ssolVlng everlasting hills as to dissolve the
Union oftheSe States.

TWENTY-THIRD BALLOT.
Whole number votes, 108; necessary to Z
loics, lO5 Sherman, 10l; Maynard, IS; re-
ainder scatteling. r
Mr.. Maynard is from Tennessee was elected
n the American ticket, and is classified on the
st OF members with the Americans. Mr.. Nav
ard was one OF the Fillmore electors from Ten
essee in 1856. Inasmuch as the Know-noth
lgs have only % member in the House. it will
: seen that over 40 Democrats must have cast
leir votes for Maynard. Our Democratic breth
IN who have prOfessediy been SO terribly exer.
sed on the subject of Know -nothingism, will,
cry likely pretend this is nobodys business
nee the Democracy did it.
