ooh how wretched is that poor man
t..at hangs on peoples favors, there is
betwixt that smile he would aspire to-,
that sweet aspect of princes, and then
ruin more pangs and fears than wars or
women have and when he falls, he falls
like Lucifer never to rise again" Oh,
what a dignified, naughty and portly
figure was even but a few weeks ago eX-
hibitcd by the pompuous we'll fed disci-
pie of IL. w. Beeeher, alias Mr.. Radical
But yesterday the word of Mr.. Radical
might have stood against the world !;
now stands he there and "none so poor
to do him reverence but few months
ago he was prepared to whiten the black
man, and to blacken the white man, in
other words he was prepared to enfran-
chisc the high-grade "orang-outang,'
las James G. Bennett calls the niggers)
and to enslave the manly, noble and
brave but erring Caucasian, the noblest
bigotry and fanaticism,1 how wonderful
it is that the family of Radical have
come within a few weeks to be so mod
crate, compared to what they were some
time ago. Now they are not all for the
nigger, | should like to learn why they
have abandoned the poor prosecuted mig
ger, all they are not true to the leaders
of the party. Mr.. Wilson of Massachu
sets said the other day in a speech which
he made at Yonkers in the State of New
York, that the object Of the Republican
party was, or rather that one object Of
that party was to give the Niger the
right of suffrage. l want to know wheth-
er the intensely loyal gentry of this
county are in favor of that measure. l
am DESTROYS of knowing whether a man
can be loyal unless he endorses the prin-
ciples of Beeeher, Wilson, Sumner,
Wade, and Phillips, "etid onane genus,."
also desire to know from the Radical
iiterate, the literary and scientific nature
of loyalty-how manydegrees of loyalty
there are, and by the by, think it was
the great Augustine who says that there
are seven degrees in wisdom, perhaps
there are seven degrees in loyalty in like
manner, let me see, there is nearly loyal,
barely loyal, conditionally loyal, otiici-
cially loyal, tishy loyal, thoroughly loyal,
extremely loyal, intensely loyal, iastinc-
tirely loyal and oHsticticely loyal. l
would find some other degrees of loyalty
but as it is as clear as mud that no one
can define the word loyal but Il disciple
of Beecher & Co., and not being one of
his satellites, am compelled to have re-
course to the above named personages,
and their literate for a definition, of the
the term and of the simple and complex
ideas that make up the idea of loyalty
when behind the retina in black repub-
LEANS brain, l would also like to know
whether that idea is inverted in the pc
Uranium or not and whether in the
brain of a Beecherite it emits any pleas
ant odor, or not, guess it does not, as
it is likely that that almost superhuman
class of men would not probably enter
tain an unpleasant guest, their imagina-
tions and principles being too pure to
admit of the presence of any the least
defilement. l should also like to know
from the aforesaid literate, how it is thai
one of Beecher's disciples advocated ne
gro suffrage in Gerardstown on last Sat
urday, while the other members OF the
Beecherparty have recently denied theil
niggerism because perhaps they wish tt
secure the next election. Iverv respect
fully submit for solution the following
problems, to the said literate.
Given the prospect for office equal D
the amount of ignorance equal to c, it Ii
required to find the distance the minc
must be from Beecher, and the amount
of the odor emitted by Sambo. The lati
tude and longitude being given, required
also the degree of the intensity of the
party's loyalty, or disloyalty of the in
dividual
But back to my theme,
Back to niggers and knaves
