Mr.. Nasty ha. a Horrible vision.

readin eleckshun returns, ! picked up q
volum ov CammelI's Poems, and red thai
splendid peese 1.-The Last Man." Cam
nell is a poick-ther amt no doubt Nv it,
Ell my too parshal trends amt 700 parshal,
l can whop him on the sublime ; but on
the patheticks, I acknolidge him as my
sooperier. Be that as it may, the poem
made an impreshun on my mind, witch is
proof that Their is suthin into it, and my
mind was a dwellin onto it as I sunk into
slumber.
AS yusual / had a dreme, and sich q
dreme may I never hev agin.
Methaut the epidemick, witch is now de-
v~astatin Europe, he'd struck Moo York.
For a time, it struck down all classes.
The proud Caucashon, the hidjus niger,
the nobel red man o. the forest, and al
mound-eyed Chinese, all, all, fell afore the
ruthless destryer. But at last, it abated,
except so far as the niger was concerned.
The white man was spared, so was the
Injin, and the Chinese, but, among the
Afrikins, it ragged with redoubled fury.
D, it was crushin! The planter looked
abroad and 10 |! the staulwart field hand,
witch was with $1,000, was q cold corpse,
and the field was unplowed. Agin he
looked, and alas the brawny wench, witch
allus bore a %picaninny wich was wuth
$500 as soon as weaned, wonst per year,
and by a little extra whippin, did a full
years work, was PROSTATE in the cold en-
brace ov death. Agin he looked. and wo
to him &, the octoroon. for with he paid
3d. 500, and whose girl babies he could
sell in Moo Orleans as soon as they was
l6 for 5000, on ackount ov their having
his blood in their vains, was torn from his
lovin grasp by the stronger hand ov dis
ease, and wasent wuth a copper for any
purpose.
The Democrisy bekum alarmed. The
indefatigable leaders whispered: The
niger is fadin away !-sposin he bekums
extinct: Whereupon a consultation Nv
the head men wuz held. In view Nv the
crisis, a pair-wun male and wun female,
wuz selected and examined by q committee
Nv expert examiners in life insurance
companies. They wuZ pronounced per-
6ck speciments-intirely sound and free
from disease. These two wuz locked up
in a room, in a healthy locashen, and
twenty -four NV the most eminent physi-
clans NV the country wuz detailed-one to
stay with them wun hour Nv each day,
that, in case the disease struck 'em, the
remedies might be towunst applied, that,
from these two, the race might be propa-
gated, and the cappytile NV the party be
preserved.
But all TO no purpose. The last niger
in the Yoonited States persisted, and
finally, these two were struck. and, not
w~ithslanding the precautions adopted, tina
too died!
There wuz q season Nacher sympa-
,hyzed with the party in affection. The
heavens wuz clothed with leaden colored
clouds, athort witch, ever and anon, flashed
CLEANS Nv loorid lite. Low-voiced thun-
ders muttered ~ominusly, and birds and
beasts run howlin DER the fields. Dray
horses fell dead upon the stony streets,
and wild beasts rushed frantickly from
their coverts, and snapped fooriously,
madly, at watever came in their way.
The last Nv the Afrikins were lyin pros
trate in the hall. Fernandywood entered,
and, ez he seed EN-, he bustid into tears.
Farewell" gushed he, ga long farewell,
last Nv a cussid race! You wuz our
tower NV strength; you wuz our corner
stun on you we bilded! Hatred Nv woo
give me the Irish vote Nv Moo York. o,
how cheerin il wuz to see them lambs bust
yer heads, and innocently hang 700 up to
lamp posts! But you'm ~gone-you'm
gone-,and hentz4th Ifs a blank to me.
Farewell, vain world for what is life
without, a Niger! and seizin a jack-knife
he saw stickin out the nigger's pocket, he
stuck it into his stummick, and, fallln
across the deceest Afrikins, expired peace
fully.
FARMLAND Peerse ~approacht. ALAS!
and art thou gone: Too troo, thou art
in life thou wurt lovely: Twas thou,
alone, that made me President; thy woolly
he'd wuz my s~teppin-stun TO place and
power, Thou vast my right bower, my
left, my ace! Ell l wuz a Democratic
Sampson, thou vast the hair witch the
Deliler, Death. hez sheered orr. Fernandy,
1 KUN, I kum!" and seezin the jack knife
from his-hand, he plunged it into his
bowels, faliin across Fernandy.
Vallandygum %approacht. ~, too, must
say farewell sed he, kissin their cold fea-
lures, "for thou vast my anker. Thou,
twast, who made me Congressman-thou
exiled me, and hate Nv thee gave me $780,
900 in ten cent pieces when l wuz in
Canady. Do I want to 90 to Congress
agins No! no! no! I should be dunn, for
the main spring Nv my elokence lies
here." and takin the jack knife, he m
mersed it in his bowels, and fell across
Pearce.
Old Jeems Bookanan, and Voorhees,,
and Brite, and Florence, and, in fact, all
the leaders Wv the party, North, to the
number NV suthin over 200, KUN up, and
each maxim a short orashun, struck their
selves with the jack knife, fallin across
each other, as cordwood is piled. Finally,
l felt it duty I owed to the party 10
follow SCOT. Seeing the jack knife, l
made my orashun (Which was tachin +! }
and was about to sever my lntestines,
when l seed a quart bottle stickin out Nv
the nigger's pockit. DRAWN it 4th, !
pulled the cork. Glory it wuz whisky
Two sucks and it wuz gone-the room
spun round, and I fell senseless on the
TOP NV the pile Nv ded Democrats.
Jest then Horris Greedy cum in. "Be-
hold Democrisy," sed he, "ez it wuz in
the beginin, so it is in the endin. Niger
a, the bottom. whiskey at the top. and a
stink in the middle" and, holdin his nose'
he shambled out of the room.
Iawoke in a cold sweat, happy to lind
tina, it wuz only a dream; that the niger
still lived in all his cussitood. and that we
still he'd suthin to 60 on.
