BucyuS Journal
Decidedly richl We would advise our
friend of the Journal to look over the files
Of his paper and read some IF the Lincoln
campaign editorial lie will find in them
abundant promises of good times free
labor 'retrencbment and REFORM 'econO-
my 100 acres of land free homes for free
men, and any amount of such balderdash.
New we have the blessed Lincoln times
Now we are reaping a rich crop Of Repub-
licanism.
Uunder the reign Of the great railsplitter,
we were to have good times
With pork at $3.50 per hundred. what
right have we to complain
With wheat al less than 81 co per bush
e!, what right have we to COMPLAINT
With other produce in proportion, what
right have we To camplain?'
With tea, coffee. sugar, calico, muslins,
and every article we have to buy, advance
ed in prices, what right have we to COM
ylain?'
We can do without these luxuries and be
the better for it in these Lincoln good
times
And then il helps the matter so amazing
ly when We look at the fix the Southerners
are imp
We can feel glorious with belly full Of
rye coffee when we look at the fix the
SOutherners are in
We can drink our Sage tea without su,
gar in it and feel as happy as toads in a
mud puddle when we '.oJk at the fix the
SOutherners are in
1t makes Rye Coffee and Sage Tea
| palatble and sweetens sweet cake that has
no sugar in il 10 look at the fix the South
| erneTs are in
II any man in these Lincoln times wants
to ba rich and happy snf c,n.cntcd, just
| let him look at the fix the Southerners are
| in.'
But there are some thrgs that locking
at the fix the Sou:herners are in will not
| do.
| 1t will not pay the four cent a year tax
| es.
1t will no: raise the price of cork.
1t will not save to the people the hundred
million of dollars the Republicans have sto-
len from the treasury.
1t Will not give to every poor man the
| 100 acres of land he was promisee when
the blessed reign Of Repu5licanism should
| begin.
twill not bring back peace to a distrac
ted country.
1t will not pay the public debt.
1t will not fill an empty treasury.
1t will not wire out the battle f, Ids
that drink the blood Of our couDtry's chil-
dren.
1t will not stop the march of armies
that go forth to do the m"rderous work of
battle.
1t will not bring smil es TO the face Of the
widow who mourns a husband slain on the
bloody field.
1t will not hush the cries of the orphan
children who looked in vain for the coming
of father who died uncared for in an army
hospital.
1t will not bring joy to the household that
has been robbea of son or brother cut dow
by sabre in the bands of one whom, but
for republicanism, he might have hailed
him az brother.
Would to God that looking at the fix the
SOutheners are in would restore the Union
revive our dropping flag, bring back its glo
ry and restore its fallen stars; unlock thu
avenues of trade, fill up the family circl,
and once more gather the absent and thr
lost around the deserted hearthstone re
store free speech and remove the bitter en-
of Republicanism forever away from US
But it will net do any of these things.
Abolition Republicanism murders our
peace, robs us Of our liberties destroys GU
prosperity. ard then ask US, what RICH
have we to complaint
Aud with all our present blessings ant
: all our future hopes made drifting wreck
t before our eyes, we are advised to cumfor
= ourselves by looking at the fix the South
e erners are in.-BmyrUs Forum.
