DOUGLAS CITY, May 10, 1866
DEAR JOURNAL Billings says that when
man gets so low in this world that his dog throws
off on him, he is about as far down as it is pos
sible to 90 BY land. But when President Of
these United States so far degenerates that the
Copperheads throw off on him, don't you think
the yarnish is taken from Josh's dorg man?
/ We are occasionally treated to a telegram to
the effect that the President is weakening. Now,
who the deuce Swearing has commenced)
cares whether he weakens or not? don't, most
assuredly, not wishing to be considered the horn
tooter or mouth-piece Of any party, but simply
an honest plebean who exercises the right and
privilege Of saying just what he pleases. 9th
ers may receive him back into the folds of the
Union party, but as for me and the "Jacinto" "
household, and may add, the "Semblins
family, very small quantity of johnson will 60
long ways with us. l never was much stuck
after that "Moses," and got hearty jawing for
daring to say SO after he was nominated on our
ticket for the Vice Presidency Should the signs
of repentance be of the suicidal kind indulged
in by Mr.. Iscariot, and he comes to the full de-
termination to fall down and gush his intestiues
out, know where lots and sathers of fields may
| be had for n blamed sight less money than thir-
| ty smooth quarters.
The self-styled and latter-day O. "Moses"-the
first extension south of the Penteteuch-who was
going to take poor Sambo kindly by the hand and
lead him from bondage to the happy land of Dix
lie flor the information of the unsophisticated
will state that the true meaning of Dixie is the
Negro Heaven, place of freedom and pleasure
supposed to be midway between South Carolina
and eternal bliss J where never-failing rivers of
pure hominy flow with an easy current, and clus-
ters and gobs of possum-fat dangle uxuriantly
from every shrub. But the Democratic Aarons
| erected Peter Funk side-sho*, consisting of
juvenile yaller bovine and private bar, or as
your friend of the Sage-Brush Register would
say, " corner grocery" He swallowed the bait,
and what is the result? To-day this great staff
bearer of the First Tennessee Corps du Afrique
State Mitia) this Major General of littleness in
high posish, finds himself without friends, par
ty or birthright, and very small quantity Of
I" potash " left.
Theologians and commentators admit that
Moses, Sr., was somewhat of the Sambo persua-
sion himself. l honestly think that when q man
steals the de plume of great authors, he ought
to take color, smell and all along with it. If so
in this case, then the old saying of 90 d-n mig
ger baby whitewashed, will hold good, even in
the and yellow leaf. We are threatened
with Cromwelsm. Just let her Cromwell
m on it. Congress suits me for President, and
should take great deal Of pleasure in sup
porting the old fellow for the second term.
] shall conclude by asking if the doings of this
Moses, Jr., not written in the old files Of the
Knoxville Whig7 The reader has by this time
no doubt arrived at the conclusion that am q
Radical, and have no relish for Johnson mama.
No news-no births, marriages or accidents
Yes, caved in on the bedrock this morning
No bones broken, but slight conclusion of the
lumber region and moderate swearing. The bed
rock was but slightly injured. Doc. Martin pre-
scribed for me. didn't learn who the bedrock
called in. JAcINTo.
