I'm standing in the mud, Biddy,
With not q spalpecn near,
And silence, speeches. as the grave,
Is ali the sound | hear.
Ne COON is at a showlder arms,
I'm Wetted to the bone,
And whin Pm afther spakin' out,
find meself alone.
This Southern climates quare, Biddy,
A quare and bastely thing,
With winter absent all the year,
And summer in the spring.
Ye mind the hot place down below?
And may We never fear
Id dthraw comparisons--but then,
ITS awful warrum here.
The only moon I see, Biddy,
Il one small star, ashore,
And that's fernint the very cloud
II was behind before;
The watch fires glamc along the Hill
That's swellin' to the South,
And when the sentry passes them
| see his oogly mouth.
IT'S dead for shape am, Biddy,
And dramein shwate I'd be,
II them ould Rebels over there
Would only lave me free
But whin / lane against shtump,
And strive to get repose,
4 musket ball be's comm straight
10 hit my spacious nose,
It's ye I'd like to see, Biddy,
A shparkin' here wild me,
And then, ovourneen, hear me say,
acknowledgements T.
Och, Biddy, darlint," then, says
Says you, "get out of that"
Says !, Tine arrum mates your waist,
Says you, i" be dacent, Pat"
And how's the pigs and ducks, Biddy
It's. them | think of, sure,
That looked so innocent and shwate
Upon the parlor fur;
I'm sure ye're aisy with the pig
That's fat as he can be,
And fade him wild the best, because
I'm towld he looks like me.
When come home again, Biddy,
A sargent tried@nd thrue,
It's joust dacent house I'd build,
And rint it chape to you.
Wen have parlor, bedroom, hall,
And duck pond nately done,
with kitchen, pig pen, praty patch,
And garrct--ali In one.
But murther ! there's haste, Biddy,
thats crapin' round tree,
and well know the creatures there
TO have shot at me.
SOW, Mister Rebel, say yer pray'rs
:, And how'd yer dirty paw,
aere goes !--be jabers, Biddy dear,

:" What country is opposite us on the globe"

you were to go in at this end, where would
you come out"
"Out of the hole, SIR" replied the pupil

A New York Judge Invited TO
Become Member Of Loyal League
His Reply.
The following letter from Judge

been published. 1t explains itself:

"To Otis D. swan, ESQ, Secretary Of Union
Leugue:
"SIR i am in receipt OF your'cir.
cular letter OF the 18th inst, informing
me that have been elected a member
of the Union League and asking mo
to signify, in writing, my acceptance
of membership without delay, &c.
IL know not to whom am indebted
for the mistaken kindness shown in my
election as a member Of the associa.
tion, but | hasten to say that | decline
to become a member, or to transmit
the initiation lee and annual dues
('moun'ing to S5O), for reasons which
will briefly state:
"Io the abstract principle Of the

loyal to any prciple of the Federal

Union, and without it the Union is
neither possible nor desirable. Your

class of politicians who have for years
been advocates OF that higher law
which has contributed so largely to

The hardest political battle which has ever
been known in Chicago was fought Yesterday.

To enable the reader to understand the splen.
dor OF the triumph. we must show what the De
moeracy have had to contend against
me total number Of votes polled for Mayor,
yesterday, was 20 .306. At the State and Con
gressonal election last iall-one Of the most
exciting elections held in the city-lhe total
number OF votes polled within the same territory
now covered by the city was only Is .776 inclui-
ing TWO or three regiments OF soldiers now ab
sent. There has been no actual material increase
oil illegal voters since last fall. but here j. sp
parent increase OF $780, The simple truth is.
that the Abolitionists through their secret or
ganizations, have imported two or three thousand
men and voted them NJ this election Look At

comparatively few Residences running up TO

body :ell u there are that number of legal voters
in that WardY Look also ut other Wards In
the first Ward the Democracy ought not to have
been beaten twenty votes, and they beaten
3s5 votes and in the sixteenth Ward they should
have had three hundred and fifty majority, where
as they have but Ia
But we cannot ana we this matter this morn

and il will be exposed 1t cannot escape ex-
posure
Notwithstanding the enormous raud the De
mocracy have carried the city. Mayor sherman
is reelected by is majority. and we have no
doubt all the candidates on the ticket are elected
by equal or greater majorities
For all practical purposes. this majority is as
good as eighteen hundred majority would be, and
the result determines the fact that Chicago is a
Democratic city. If the election had been an
honest one. the result would have shown Chic,-
go to be Democratic City by an immense ma
jority.
From the best information we have the Alder
men elect stand as follows: Ia Democrats and
10 Republicans
The hold overs six Democrats and three
Abotiousts. Thus the New Common Council
will stand 20 Democrats to l3 Abolitionsts.
Enough is a good feast
The Democracy of the city are jubilant over
the result, and well they NAV lie II il pure
Democratic victory Ii is terrible verdict
against the Administration at Washington, and
against abolition and its policies 1t is such a
verdict by city which, only little while ago,
was claimed as the very citve Of Aboltonism.
