A New Coin!

Mr.. Lincoln, the poor Parvenue wishes
to hide his obscure and illiterate origin by
getting a new coin made with his effigy
stamped upon it. He is as fast as he can
adopting the customs of royalty, in imi-
tation of George the Third, Queen Victo-
toria, Emperor Nicholas, &c. The one
side of this coin is exactly like the old
cent, and the other side has the picture
of Lincoln, with these words around it,
Pro Gratia Del ct P0puh, Lincoln. "By
the grace of God and of the people, Lin
coin, President of the United States"
This is another step he has taken towards
monarchy. He has also got splendid
car built for his own use with sixteen
wheels at the enormous cost of eighty
thousand dollars, almost equal to his four
years salary. If these strides towards
royalty don't open the peoples eyes, they
are no longer fit for Republic and should
be ruled by monarch and that with
rod of iron. And such monarch as we
would have, and such an aristocracy as
would surround the throne. Let US take
view of them in this country as we are
best acquainted with them. Barker would
be on the wool-sack or Lord High Chan
cellor. Harr would be Lord High Con-
stable. Strohecker would be master of
the Queens bed-chamber John b. Por-
ter would be the. Kings huntsman.
Michaels would be J4incoln's game-keeper
and Peter M'Coy would be master of the
Kings household. Why should not Lin
coin raise dynasty as enduring as the
Bourbons or the Hapsburgs or the Guel phsl
We have no doubt he has an idea of that
kind, if he is not too ignorant ever to have
read their history. Why should not Bar
ker, or Harr, or Stowhecker, or Porter,
or Michaels, or M'Coy, be the origin of
stock of aristoctracy as well as the Bona
parties, the Towards, the Wellesley's and
others Everything that has a beginning
must have an end, and everything that
grows decays.
Where could there be better origin to
raise race of Kings from than Abraham
Lincoln? His compact and manly form
and brilliant intellect would Indicate roy
atty TO stranger had they never heard of
him. And then his Queenly mistress, not
whit behind him in everything that APP
pertains to nobility. She is said to be
somewhat careless in her morals. but so
was Elizabeth the virgin Queen of Eng
land. And where could there be more
perfect gentlemen by birth, by education,
by The associations of life, and everything
that ennob!es humanity, than Barker,
Harr, Stowhecker, Porter, Micchaels and
MCoy. We willnot attempt te delineate
their character individually, suffice it to
say, that it would be hard to designate
the good qualities of the one without de-
rogating from the others. ''There is a
tide in the affairs of men which taken at
the HOOD leads on to fortune, omitted all
their voyage of life, is bound in shadows
and in miseries."
These gentlemen seem to have swan
with the tide for the present, and if it does
not recede too fast and leave them on
shore bare in their naked ugliness, they

Things look well now as they think.
