was not modest, hut it reminded her
of a cow climbing peeled elm to eat
hay out Of crows nest-she didn't
believe it could he done, and if she
was in his place she wouldn't try.
The Col. said the American people
had no right to object to revolution
they owed their liberties to Rev
olution.
"Yes," remarked a 10th veteran,
just back from Atlanta, land if they
do not look out and quit listening to
such rebels, they will lose by the sec
ond revolution all they gained by the
first" The Col. then remarked that
he did not think the people of the
South were justified The fat wo.
man said he was fool, for he had
said that they had right to revolu-
tionize, and what was right was JUS
tiaable. The Col. proceeded: Lin
coin and Congress had said that elev-
en- states should not vote for Presi
dent The fat lady said that it did
net make n bit of difference. for JEFF
Davis had been so busy fighting that
he had not appointed electors, and she
did not think Old Abe ought to be
blamed for that. The Col. insisted
that the Black Republicans by refus-
ing TO allow the rebel states to vote
had recognized their independence.
| He wanted Commissioners to get to-
gether to see if the war could not be
settled-he would like TO know what
know what new guarantees the south
want-how they will settle The
fat woman said You fool. They
have told you they will not come
back into the Union; they must have
their independence-have our armies
withdrawn-take Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri and Maryland
all back, have one half the t rritories,
all the Mississippi river that is worth
an jthing to commerce, have the Yam
KEGS acknowledge they were wrong,
hang Ward Beecher, push Massachu-
setts off round Cape Horn, and on
Fourth Of July's omit Yankee Doc
die, or at best, leave ont the Yankee
and play only the Doodle. She said
she couldn't see it.
Mr.. LeBlond, Member OF Congress,
now arose, like Merry Phnbus, fat
and Jolly, showing that congressional
boarding houses are places where the
adipOse tissue may he greatly aug
mented in a short time. After sup
posing he saw a likeness over his
head. he compared the Great George
Washington to the small George Nc
Clclan. whereat all the congregation
smiled. He wanted to ratify the
nomination of the second George.
and proceeded to ratify, as follows:
No one supposed the election of
Lincoln would produce the present
state Of things The Democrats told
the people there would be war and
bloOdshcd and Il great national debt.
The tat woman said ''laws-a-day if
they sald so they must have known
! it, aud it's never safe to know too
much about murder-I think II get
away" ald she bit her apple and left
Mr.. l.. went on to say that the De
mocracy committed Il great blunder
in not voting for Cfittenden's Resolu-
tions, that the Democracy should
have come forward, en- masse, and
not man nor Il dollar, and every
man who did not is guilty of his
brothers blood. The Democrats
blundered aud took part in this frat
ricidal war. The girl said she "won
dered il he did and the 49th boy
said something about bottom dollar
that he did mt, he looked too soft and
congressional for that Mr.. L. went
on, we were not so sagacious as the
Southern men. They never believed
him. The Democracy voted millions
of men and money for the war The
Southern people had no just cause
for the war, but they had cause to
complain of an interference with their
rights. The Democracy propose to
stop the war without the further she'd
ing OF blood. Here the soldier said
that Mr.. l.. was bogus and didn't go
for small George, for he said that the
Union must be preserved before the
war stopped, and the Constitution and
laws and flag, must all be honored
and respected and il they didn't agree
to all this, he would whip the conceit
ouu of them. Here Mr. l.. said some
thing about shoddy contractors and
officers who have always been Aboli-
tionists and wore big epauletts and
drew high pay. The soldier said now
he is after Col. Walker, who gets
twenty-one hundred dollars year,
risks his life in every battle, sleeps on
the ground without bed or covering,
and lives on hard tack and bacon,
gets wounded, and takes Il soldiers
chances for his life in this bloody war,
works day and night, Sunday and ev-
cry day. Now how does that come
from a jolly Congressman, who gets
! his four thousand dollars year, sits
two hours day on an average in the
House; eats oysters, drinks wine,
grows fat, comes home when he
pleases, practices law, and has a good
time generally: never SO far disturb,
ing himself about the affairs Of the
nation as to have learned anything
beyond the regular trade Of abusing
Old Abe and Chawing the niger,
Mr. L. went on to say that the De
mocracy had laid it down in their
platform that hostilities should be
