Cuffey is becoming very troublesome
fellow in these United States. There i:
no end to the mpudence of the black cur
ly-headed rascal. Our people can under
take nothing, political, pecuniary or pious
that he does not manage to get his sooty
fingers into and spoil.
In 1856, the Democrats met in Con.
vention at Cincinnati TO nominate can.
didate for President, and they swore upon
a demDohn of corn whisky that Cuffry
should not show his black face within gun.
shot of their meeting place. But not.
withstanding all that, Cufey, with bis
woolly head and dark visage, was there
as soon as they we're, and no amount Of
gasconade or garlic, swearing or swagger,
could frighten him away. So pestilent
and provoking; so meddlesome and menac.
ing did be make himself, that all the cour-
age created by cocktails, and all bravery
begotten by brandy scarcely suficed to
prevent him from dispensing the Conven-
tion before it had completed its pious Ia
bors.
To prevent trouble from woolly-head,
in 1860, the Democratic doctors deter
mined to meet in Charleston, Cuffey's own
home, thinking that he would be courte-
Gus enough not to create any disturbance
on his own premises. But Cuffey, to the
disgust Of all Democratic disciples of Ches-
ter6eld, and admirers of Count Dorsey,
gor it into bis head that he had right to
crow on bis own dungbill-and he did crow
so Justify that be crowded the Convention,
fractured it into fragments, and drove the
other half South, like witches frightened
at the Growing of the cock.
And ever since, Cutfey had been en-
rousing most contumaciously. All through
the Presidential campaign. wherever two
or three were gathered together in the
name of Democracy, there was woolly head
in the midst of them to vex them. Even
in their sleep he affrighted them with Wis
ions of retreating officers and vanishing
spoils.
But that is not the worst of it. No
Democrat doubts that Cuffey elected Abe
Lincoln President and Hannibal Hamlin
Vice President. Every Democratic editor
asserts it, and every Democratic politician
is ready to swear 10 it. Now admitting
this to be true, for the sake of argument,
how does it look9 Just think of Cuffey,
with his four million splay-footed, ebon-
faced ragmufins, electing President and
Vice President for twenty-six millions of
rich, educated, noble-born chivalrous Cau-
casians; and at the same time putting the
whole Of the great Democratic party East,
West, North and South, hors du combat!

LauShable Story.

The Mobile Regasfer IS responsible for
the following mirtb provoking incident.
For twenty-three years, old Jake VIII
lard has cultivated the soil of Baldwin
county, and drawn therefrom support for
self and wife. He is childless. Not long
ago Jake left the house in search of mis-
sing COW. His route led him through an
old WORKOUT patch of clay land, of about
six acres in extent, in the center of which
was a well, twenty-five or thirty feet deep,
that had some time probably furnished the
inmates of dilapidated house near BY with
water. In passing by this spot, an i'll
wind lifted Jake's "tile" from his head, and
maliciously waited it to the edge of the well
and in it tumbled.
Now Jake had always practised the viz
tue of economy, and he Immediately set
about recovering the lost hat. He ran to
the well, and finding it was dry at the bot
tom, he uneoiled the rope which he had
brought for the purpose of capturing the
truant COW, and after several attempts 10
catch the hat with moose, be concluded
to save time by going into the well him.
self. To accomplish this, he made fast one
end of the rope to stump close BY, and
was quickly on his way down the well.
1t is fact, of which Jake was NO less
oblivious than the reader hereof, than Ned
Wells was in the old dilapidated building
aforesaid, and that an old blind horse, with
bell on his neck, which had been turned
out to die, was lazily grazing within
short distance of well.
The devil himself or some other wicked
spirit put it into Ned's cranium to have
little fun, so be quietly slipped up to the
horse, and unbuckling the bell-strap, ap-
preached with slow mearured sting a-ling"
the edge of the well.
"Dang that old blind horser said Jake,
shes comm this way sure, and amt got
no more sense than to fall in here. Whoa,
Ballw
But the continued approach Of the sting
aling" said just as plainly as words that
"Ball" wouldn't wAoa. Besides, Jake was
at the bottom, resting, before trying TO
''shin"'it up to the top.
"Great Jerusalem" said he, "ths old
cuss will be atop of me before I can say
Jack Robson. Whoa! dang you, wAoa!
Just then, Ned drew up to the edge of
the well, and, with his foot, kicked a little
dirt into il.
"Oh, Lord p exclaimed Jake, falling up-
on his knees at the bottom. I'm gone now,
whoa. Now l lay me down to sleep
whoa, Ball pray the Lord my soul to
now. Oh! Lord, have mercy
on me-"
Ned could hold in no longer, and fear
full Jake might suffer from bis fright be re-
vealed himself.
Probably Ned didn't make tracks with
bis heels from that well. Maybe Jake
wasn't up to the top of it in short order,
md you might think ho didn't try every
tight for two weeks to get a shot at Ned
With his rifle. Maybe not. Idou't know.
But do know that if Jake finds out who
ent you this, it will be the last sqaib you'll

was revived and married. They were

Democratic Meeting

1t was deemed advisable under al
the circumstances, not to hold g
meeting Of the Democracy of this
county last Monday. AS the AID
journed National Democratic Conven,
ton does not meet in Baltimore until
the i Sth of June, We would suggest
Ahat the assembling of the Shelby
willie Convention for the nomination
of an EIector be deferred from the
second Saturday in May, until the
second Saturday an July. and that
the Democracy Of Lincoln assemble
in this place on the first Monday an
July in order to appoint delegates to
the same. Our candidates will then
probably be known, and we will be
ready to enter at-onoe vigorously up
on the canvass.
Time is pressing, and We have not
the room to say more on the subject
