A Great Change Ia our Government

We are enabled to announce to our readers
today. in advance of all other Republican pa
pers. the important news that the Republican
party. having been successful beyond their *
pectaiions in their warfare against slavery
have now determined upon changing the Gov
ernment Of the United states to a Monarchy
aud also annexing thereto Nat Onal Establish
ed Religion These important changes have
not yet been announced by any Republican
Convention; but the leaders of the party have
fully agreed upon them, and mo 'ements pre-
pairing the way for these grand results are IN
progress every day, and as soon az public Opin-
ion " Il permit, the party will declare for them
in their stare aud National Conventions.
In building up Monarchy. the Republican
leaders have lrlt the necessity of having a
lower scrvile class. who would rejoice to live
under a despolism, as being the government
best for them aud their interests. To supply this
deficiency, tn party have determined TO or
ganize an extrns ve system of miscegenatiOn

children may be born, aud thus a degrade

ments are correct for we md them asserted II

1t may be thought that public opinion can

As to the tune when a Monarchy can be es
