The Last Democratic Speech.

An Eastern paper gives the following
specimen Of the average Of "Fusiou" ora
tions since the October Elections. 1t is
fair summary Of the kind of arguments
and assertions INDUCED in BY some OF their
speakers where they think the people are
fools j
Nv good Democratic Friends and FL.
lor- -CjtiseRs-The crisis has arriv, aud
something's bust. The events of Tuesday
press heavily upon me. Who would have
dreamed that the dirty Black Republi-
cans could have defeated Us SO awfully !!
Where could We have been, aud what
could We have been doing? Alas alas ,
ten thousand times ten thousand voices
come laundering back the answer, "pcpn-
sylvauia, Ohio, and Indiana Now, if
we bad only been beaten a little, that
would have been bad enough, and we
might have recovered, but to be auuibiia-
ted by 81, 900 is too bad-too bad. We
are ''dead cocks in the pit"-32, 600 is not
merely defeat-I tell you, with tears in
my eyes, it's ruin aud utter oaaiLidtion !
The die is fxed-down we are, aud on cur
bellies We must crawl all OUT life long. q,
] wish had word of consolation for ye.
! car tell big stories if necessary, but All.
what lie can cover that 81, 600? Didn't
the BELL men we bought, sell US $4,000
voters and now they're setting up for
themselves, or going in for Old Abe. We
were promised 10000 in PLilad-didu'i
get 2,000. If we lose all the Offices and
the chances to pluuder and get more mig
gers and Cuba, how Il the ge-lorious Union
stand ! Go to smash, sure as guns. On
tomorrow morning, at $40 aud tick,
precisely, every slave in the South will be
let loose-their cbaips struck off; old John
Brown will rise from the shceted dead with
"Wide Awake" cap and lamp will stalk
majestically into the bar-room of some
country tavern, and call for rum-yes, for
rum; and the landlord, scared out of his
boots, will give him rum, and John Brown
will drink the rum, and he Will drink more
rum until his blood is on fire, aud his
distended nostrils will snort fire, and his
VIoUu Will uOiIt duo us Nuicc VIII pC bS4iu
from East to West, and from North to
South. as be shouts, "Come on, niggers
let's eat these folks" and the niggers viii
jump out Of the bushes, uud crawl cut
from every upturped stone, aud they will
have pike in their hand, aud they will
look at Old Brown, and Old Brown viii
look at them, and he will try to count
them, and they will try to count him, but
they can't be counted, for there will be
billions and billions of them; aud O!i
John Brown will get mad, aud be will
swear iu the Choc,aw language At them.
and they will swear in their own language
OF him, and there will be a terrible time;
and bye-and-bye they will get started on
their march, and they will 60 on foot,
they will kill every grasshopper and crick
ct in the land they will steal your wives
and daughters, and Old Brown will eat up
your chickens and ducks, for he is the
worst Of all /; and they will destroy every
thing they fnd, and burn down everything
they don't find; and the Republicans
who beat US g., ,000-(darg that 32, coo y
will laugh and shout to see u, good Dem
ocrats, slaughtered. These are the effects,
and there is 10 help for it. Fellow citi-
zcns, this is my last appearance among
you; | 60 70 meet my doom; keep your
eye skinned, go "Fusion" once more, and
"save the Union" if you can.
