10 the last Journal. Toodles saws
shat q strong effort will be made I,
kill him Wade off BY the Radicals o
the State We are vel! aware, but i

Radicale, ehl Well, Toodles does ad
NIT that there are two parties in ,h,

Of the "let the Union slide" men, il
We cannot emaDcipate the negro. Ii
there a man in the legislature thai
don't know this to be true as gospel 1
Here is an extract from one of hit
speeches:
"The only salvation of tie Union
therefore, was to be found in divesting
il entirely from all taint Of slavery
There vas no Union in the South
LET Us HAVE A Union OR LET Us SWEEP
AWAY TIE REMNANT WHICH WE CALI
UNION"
ApP:opis to the above we give thu
following from the Crisis:
Ben's friends are trying to convinct
the people that be is q very conserva
tive man. There isa trat itiouary
faole that so we'll represents the pos
sition of the Republican Party and
WADE at the present time, that VIC
are induced to give it to your readers
The fable runs thus:
"Once upon a time IN honest and
thrifty farmer, had uron bis farm a
noisy ass, and a valuable, but cross
and dangerous bull, which by reason
OF their perverse natures, the farmer
was compelled to keep in separate en-.
closures, which were adjsining, but
separated by strong and substantial
fence. The ass was constantly bray
ing at the bull and inAlctiug such petty
anuoiances 10 caused u coDtinusl
quarrel, and in spite of the relnons.
frances Of the farmer, divers battles
ensued across the fence, until it bore
many marks of heels and horns. Fl.
nally by an unlucky blow the ass broke
the top rail ofthe fence and SpaDe in.
to the bulls enclosure, indulging in
the "liberty Of free speech" and the
appropriation Of private property"
in violation Of the bulls ideas Of con.
stitutional rights" wher eupon the On
cry bull made a desperate attack upon
the sss, which took flight and fed to
it's own enclosure, brsying vociler ous +.
ly to inform the farmer of the critical
state Of Affairs The bull in the
meantime made desperate attack
upon the fence, and wRe about to de
molish the same. when tie farmer few
10 the rescue oi his property and en-.
gagged in deadly combat with the an.
cry bull, whilst the cowardly ass took
a position at q safe distance. and stand.
ing erect on his hind legs disconrsed
upon the event 10 this wise.
81 am 10 40 way responsible for that
fight. did not commence it. You
zee that is an ignorant, perverse and
wicked DULL; tried to teach him mo
rails and religion and to leave off bel
lowing like bull and learn to bray
like an ass, whereupou he became en-.
ragged and has made war. Ny yoice;is
for Wal" lam not the asa that was,
but the man that | am"
Now for the application: The farm
is our common country; the farmer
ths Democratic Party; the fence the
Constitution, the boil the rebels OF
the South; end the ass the Repubii
can Party, peTsonated in Ohio by Ben
Wade that would have the people be.
ileve that 81 an not the ass that was,
but the man that | am"
Yes, and Toodles is well represented
