by His Satanic Majesty, King Beelzebub
ESQ, Mr.. Copperhead Democracy and Nus
Rattlesn.ke Slavery, both OF the United
States.
Slices Of the Wedding Cake were sent Il
most OF the Locofoco Editors, in conse-
Guence OF which they have never eeased &c

THE FIRST BORN.
| Eorn in the summer Of 1856, Mr.. Lecoup-
ton Border Ruf1ian, son OF Mr.. Copperhead
Democracy.
This unsightly child, born six months
after the above marriage, after !. few
months ofsickly existence died from a pc
culiar disease called Free Stotc.

Grace, 1860, Mr.. Secession Pro-Slavery Re-
bellion, true son Of Mr.. c. and Mrs. X. s.
Democracy. Or. Jim Buchanan acting
Cc6ostcheur.
This child, which Clocks so much like It's
daddy is now going on three years old
Its infancy was marked by so much preco-
city that it is universally believed that it is
s'too smart 10 live It's back bone was
lately broken by the joU q: Vicksburg; ts
face horribly burned in the ire at Gettys-
burg, and one o. its feet was anputated
in Ohio. It has been a source of trouble all
its days. It's death, however, is now look
ed for soon. The ''old man. they say, is
''raving mad through fear his dear son
will die. The old lady is also III great
pucker,'' and some of her friends have got

THE THIRD BORN.

Patrick Riot, third son of Mr.. c. and Mrs.
x. ;. Democracy.
This monster baby came very near being
still born, but by the aid of DIR. Seymour
and his Friends it lived three days.
The fatality which has attended these
children shows that no child Of these pa
rents can ever live. And yet they survive
long enough to cause great trouble; and so
long as the old folks live there is danger Of
IAN increase in the family" 1t is propos-
ed therefore to behead the old woman to
prevent her fromfEenerating any further
trouble and to "hang' the old man to keep
him from marrying elsewhere. The people
will rejoice and cry Amen! at the extinc-
ton Of the whole race.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO IRisHMEN.-The
TACT that very many persons are seeking
the protection of the British Government,
on the plea OF alienage, III order to avoid
the draft and it being understood that ma

Fenian brotherhood have taken action
thereon, as the following important notice
from the Head Centre and the Committee

THE FENIAN BROTHERHOOD AND BRITISH
PROTECTION.
The attention of the members Of the r. b.
and Irishmen in general, is called to gem
eral rule of the Brotherhood issued by the
Head Centre Of America, John OMahony,
Of New York:
THAT any member Of the Fenian Broth
erhood claiming British protection shall he
forthwith expelled as a traitor, and any
lrishman claiming such protection can
never become a member Of the order.'
Those miscreants who disgrace the proud
name OF Ireland by claiming British pro-
lection ought to be sent back to receive the
protection which England gives to Irish
poor house, the gallons, and total
