DIR. Nasby's Appeal to the Demoe-
racY Of the North,

Inc "ume-honored principles OF the
Democracy have been so terribly mixed
of late that the faithful are unable to
tell the genuine article from a counter
felt. But the Rev. Dir. Nasby has devo-
ted his commanding talents to bringing
order out of confusion, and, in the fol-
lowing address, has presented platform
which must prove satisfactory to the en-
tire party, and is so simple that the most
ignorant Democrats will understand it
best:
SAINTS REST, J
(Which is the Stait of Moo Gersey,) !
October 4, 1865.
Dimekrats Nv the North You hev to
deside whether the old party, which has
alluz delited in managin to assoom its
nateral position, or whether it is doomed
to die, and be among the things that
wuz.
Ez the head Nv the party, l issue this
appeal.
The time for argument hez passed-all
that now remains is ackshen ackshen
Never before wuz there sich need of
work-never wuz there so mnch at stake.
Look around 700, fellow Democrats! See!
Wv all the States North, only Moo Gersey
remanes troo to her anshent prinsiples.-
The dark waves NV ablishlnism are a
sweepin over the land, unchecked, save
by Moo Gersey. There, thank God the
ark NV the covnant rests. There the
vestal fires burn brightly. Moo Gersey
hez the Democrisy sec olleg had-she
changes not. Ever since the year before
Revolushen she hez bin Democratic
matter what issues wuz presented-no
matter on which side NV said issues the
Democrisy planted themselves, Moo Ger
sey alluz voted that ticket.
Sech confdin trust in the leaders-scch
Roman simplicity is refreshin. Wood,
o! wood, that we he'd more Moo Gerseys.
This fall the Democracy hev exceeded
themselves in liberality to the people
Never wuz their such a assortment wv
principles to choose from. Ia Moo York,
we hev on the track Ginral, who sheth-
ed his sword in the harts NV his Suthern
brethren, and with him we stood on
platfrom which recognizes the deth of
slavery, and feels good over it, and which
goes for payin' the debt, interest, princi-
pie, & all. In Moo Gersey we have
Gineral on the ticket, wis run away from
Bull Run, becoz he didn't approve NV the
principles on which the war was bein
kondukted, on platform ex strikly Suth-
ern as the Camden & Amboy Good make
it. In Ohio our platform wuz made by
the great Vallandigum, and it is the pure
expressed joose NV Democrisy. The great
doctrine NV State Rites is avowed and
the rite Nv the seeded States to agin Sc
cede is upheld.
Hereis diversity-here is pickin. Each
Dimocrat can pick wich set of prinsip.
pies he desires, & the cheorman NV his
Central cmmitty will cheerfully certify
that that bet will be made universal. as

Look at what interests are at stake
Do yoo want to marry nigger wen
ches! Do yoo want yoor gushing daush-
ters tide by indissoluble ties to back Mig
gers? We hev persistentIy petitioncd
Abolishen Legislachers to sets preventin
us from doin this foul thing, but to no
ayale. They hev turned a deaf ear to
our entreaties, and to-day we stand cx-
posed to all these dangers.
Sum Of our best liteo in favor NV DIV.
iR'him the suffrage, on the ground that
in little while we wood git his votes. ON
the principle that we ketch all trash
materially. My friends, be not deserved.
We have aboozed the nigger so long and
so persistentlp that it wood take ages
afore we Good get him suffishently demor.
allied to act with us, and afore that we
wood all be in the silent grave, where

Do 700 want buck nigger to march
up to the polls with yoo and vote? Do
yoo want their children MKT with YOURS

God! think of it! Think NV yoor bein

sich ez steelin sheep or chickens, before

yoor bein sude for store bill that had

It'd for bein drunk by nigger policeman
