country! II you have, and they are not
too useful, send them, post-haste, to
Beccaria. We have pair of excellent
clowns, who perform and play outside Of
the "arena" without the use of canvas
and center-poles and braces" They
act oehinG the curtin, (hallo that's mis-
spelled however, but admittance is,
think, gratis, and their dramatic perform
ances are so grotesque and indescribably
laughable, that, naturally humorous gents
and ladies, would sink under their exceed
ingly exhilerating effects. Those clowns
dramatic "pieces are 50 poetical, that if
given in too large "doses" would melt the
jolly and gay to liquid, iaStantcr. We
do MT wish to have those brilliant ac-
tons" which are attracting the attention
of so many of our lovers of '..fln" dispensed
with, hence our application for hearers
Their principal plays are
WOodwards gone up { Salt River"
in the steamboat "glory"-(they forgot
that part of the dramatic piece,
"Curtin has Kim the poe,"
and he is higher up the "pole" than Wood
ward lie up Salt River. If he would fall
off he would break his precious neck
it's long enough to tie, though
" Hail to the draft or COpperheads beware"
and
Rooster flap your wings and crow! J"
yes, crow let your charming notes chime
in with the Growing of Niggerheads do
your best, shangha'S; roll it out Niger
heads, ti-um-tilly-lilly oh what melody
whoop-de-doodle-doo give US some more;
ring in your sweetest strains
Birds of a feather all flock together"
then your symphony-irs so charming
yea it enraptures our inmost feeling, ard
sends our blood tingling to our fingers
ends, and down our legs to our toes it
sends a thrill Of sweet felicity into our
brains; the nerves carries it into every
nook and corner of our bodies; it stimu-
lates every organ, and each performs ita
functions with vigor, and--it tickleS us all
over he he ! he'
When those famous actors heard of
Curtin's election, they grOWei Dig,' " one
was even compelled, by his sudden disten-
sion, to get new suit of daddy'S trousers,
and etcGteras and the other one was,
happily, the possessor of a suit of "Lin-
kun" blues-lucky dog; he's got an addi-
tional twitch to his ever-twitching mouth.
! He has a very curious name-Er. Deputy
/ Provost Marshal Bar-Keeper as a martial
he is vice as a bar-keeper, he is pdr-ercck
lence ~ he will stand the live long day
pouring into that clap-trap smut machine,
missnamed Raftsman's Journal" The
other will sit on his new porch and sing
songs; III ding diidle, ho ding da. While
above him shines the word Union
figured on the smooth side Of a board,
and stuck up on pole, striking emblem
of Curtin climbing the "pole;" the
house was regenerated last spring, and we
need not wonder, then, that it was re-
chriStsned, hence the appearance of the
word Union. II was intended for q sign,
and if the first letter was altered slightly
it would be a sign indeed it would then
represent what it was, or ought to have
been, calculated TO represent.
Union what a world of meaning is
= embodied IN that one word The Abo-
lition oligarchy at Washington are sapping
and undermining the Constitution, and
it means UNION. The "Jacobin Club"
usually called Congress, are passing acts
/ mot laws that are obnoxious to the mass
of the people, and antagonistic to our
civil and religious liberties and it means
/ UNION. Even the whining ours, who are
dangling like creased and dirty tassals
about the tail of Power, are committing
every crime that their fendish minds can
conjure up, or their blood-stained hands
be engaged in and they say they work
in the cause of the UNION. Vice, corrup-
tion, treason, sensuality and tyranny are
all folded up in its enticing greatness
Oh J what black and 6amning deeds of
intamy are perpetrated by the bapditti of
demons who style themselves loyal, yet
they screen all these heinous crime. be-
hind the word voluminous word
indeed What, Loyalty oh real union
lists beware these are our country's worst
enemies. These are the traitors whom
our nation must fearl They dread the
name of the Constitution, and loathe the
7 name Of liberty. Sons of the devil you
need not boast Of those high sounding
names. The name of Democracy, or even
of Copperheads will live in the memory
Of the people, when your own will be
rotten in dark oblivion. Yosr names will
