"old Seneca"
Two weeks ago | attended political gather
ing Of "Ye Great Copperheads" in Attica, Sene-
ca county, Ohio, and there saw the Northern
Secession animal in all his glory. He looked
wonderfully like his misguided Southern bro
ther, so FAR as could Judge from his photograph
"a little meaner looking perhaps-a wickeder
look about the eYes-his ears n little longer
his back trife broader, and his name and tail
trifie curlier; which physical phenomenon is
doubtless owing to his mental associations, with
the native american of African descent" And,
as looked him over, as n horse dealer would to
discover all his fine points, observed that in his
journey from Maine to California he had been
spawned in both hind legs--got bruisc on his
head in New York city, and his shoulder badly
"stove' with the Star that never SETS" And
further discovered that his education had been
sadly neglected, and that the "nigger" who fed
and curried him down, had mixed too much
corn whisky with his food and too much swill
beer with his drink. II made him vicious res
tive and unsafe, and only fit to carry the bur-
dens his master laid upon him, and not safe for
a stranger to lead or ride. And as looked up
on his great proportions-hs broad shoulders
and his burly legs, / could not help saying with
Moses of old "Issachar is a strong ass he couch
es down between two burdens" and those two
burdens were Secession and Slavery. A heavy
load you may well say for any ass to stand un-
der, but with Fernando Wood and Horatiou
Seymour on either side Vallandigham at his
head and Ben Wood at his tail, he stood up un-
der it wonderfully well, and his Seneca county
hackers hoped and confidently expected that
ere the "cruel war was over" he would work as
willing in the Disunion harness as his Southern
brother. 1t was this Issacher, surnamed the
Peace Democracy, Mr.. Editor, that was on ex-
hibtion that day in Attca.
During this exhibition saw sight that made
my blood run cold. And could not help think
ing that if the spirit of Andrew jackson, from
IFS home beyond the ethereal blue, could have
looked down upon that Democratic show, it
would have ground its spiritual teeth in very
rage, and bis old bones which, to day, lie moul-
dering in the vaultofthe Hermitage would have
ratified in the coffin in their vain attempt to get
out and kick his degenerate followers from un-
der the flag they disgraced Why, Mr. Editor
saw wagon drawn by 6horses, in which was
seated seventy-two young females, and two or
three males-marshaled by n man monkey on
horseback, with a blue sash around his should
ers-his coat, pantaloons and hat covered with
butternuts, and over the wagon, on hickory
pole, strung with butternuts, the Star Spanglcd
Banner spread its folds to the morning breeze |

cal elements did not that wagon represent l.
