I1NcoLN.-Lincoln recently went down
70 see Gen. Grant. 1t would be better for
the people and the country if he would go
down to see the Devil-his master--and
stay there.
TAXATION. The abolitionists are con-
stantly crying out for heavier taxation, out
we learn privately from Treasurer hAIff
that they complain more about the increas-
ed leyies than the Democrats do.

VALLAND1GuAM. - Valandigham' re-
turn has caused many abolitionsts to wall
and gnash their teeth. Let them wall and
gnash, that will be their "biz" when they
get to tho place prepared for such trash

"IF. 1T is an old saying that nine tail
ors and monkey make man. If the gov
ernment thieves had eight tailors more or
their ticket they would have man-they
have one tailor and n monkey.

THE GOOSE TICKET THE abolish boast
that Andy johnson worked at the tailoring
business and is master of the goose. Lin
coin. the goose, and johnson, the goose
are a worthy pair. All who want p'chings
or who desire to teatI,cr their nests by ROB
bing the people will go for them.

CoNscRIpTIoN. Tho Senate has passed
the conscription bill repeating the $500 com
mutation clause. The Abolition member
of the House held caucus and passed
resolution in favor of its repeal. Some
however, dissented, and it is hoped the i'll
iouity will not pass the House.
HONESTY AT Work. At the Baltlmor
Convention, it was honest Simon Camera
who moved honest Old Abe's nominatio
by acclamation, and it was the honest goN
ernmcnt Office holders who cried out in tn
affirmative. Verify honesty is getting to b
quite an institution in this country.
