CHAPTER Nv.

l. And 1t came TO pass In those days
that the time drew nigh when the people
of the Provinces of New York, Illinois,
Michigan and.others, were to select Rulers
and law makers.
2. And the people assembled in their
respective Inheritance on the lOih day Of
the eleventh month, in the second year of
the reign of Father Abraham.
3. And on the evening ofthe same day,
the votes were counted by the Scribes and
Pharisees, and TO- and behold. the anci mt
tribe of Democrats carried the election In
all Provinces, with one or two exceptions,
and the Uamtes were discomfitted from
the rising of the sun until the going down
OF the same.
4. And when the thander and light
ming b~gan to roll from New York to
Washington, and also from the far distant
Province OF Illinois, Father Abraham re-
paired to the War Office to behold the
streams of lightning as they were caught.
And the thunder was SO awfully Demo
cratic, and SO loud, his head began TO
grow dizzy, and his knees smole together.
and he said to his Armor bearer, carry me
home.
5. And his Armor bearer said unto
him. Shall we 80 to Illinois? This kind
OF thunder and lightning is to severe on
the lervous system-we never had such
rs this in Springfield
6. But when Father Abraham came t.
himself again, and was removed out Of the
reach of the thunder, he said, Never mind
Just see if don't b. avenged of my adver-
sarics: | will give these traitors, the Demo
Gratis dose that will knock the thunder
out o.. them in Il very short time.
Z. And it was 81, rs soon as Abraham
was refreshed anl comiorted, he said to
his chief counsellals. Go to, let Us re
move young NAPOLEON, and put Burnside
In his stead; aid thereby compensate for
the great Democratic victories in New
York. Illinois. and elsewherr. The Batter
nuts are too jabilan, aud they worship
Napoleon. and by removing him We will
have our revenge.
:. And when Abraham ceased speak
ing the counsel Was divided, some were
for removing Little Mac, and some were
opposed, but the mi 'rity prevailed, and
Napoleon was removed.
3. And it came 10 pass when the B.acs
Republican editors found that Littlc Mac
Was removed from tie command Of the
army they We're exceedingly glad, and sent

IL. And in those days, the sons OF

-. In as much "a Gov. Andrew was
an ardent admirer OF the colored race
and very phlanthropic withal- General
DIX was the more anxious to put bis col

Of his honor, the Governor of Nassachu-

Dix had all his arrangements made, he
wrote to Gov. Andrew, and sent him an
