nBrickp pomeroy, of the La Crosse

"This reminds MS of n little story AS
the government used to say" Say,
YOU radical, nigger.loving, Anna Dick
enson, Fred Douglass, Ben Sutler
style of Republicans, how do you like
Mr.. johnson How do you like going
out of the Union for q President |!
How do you like Tennessee states
manshipg How does it compare with
your former fiat boat styleY
And God said let there be light, and
there was light. This is bible.
"And being in torment, they lifted
up their eyes and saw" not Abraham
in the bosom of Lazarus, but Andrew
Johnson IN the White House. Pretty
picture, isn't you freedom shrieking,
press mobing, Democrat hanging, cot
ton stealing, woman robbing, plunder
loving. prison advocating, Democrat
abusing, ballot-box stuffing, office
holding scpulchres full of niggcr's
bonesg
How do you like the new President
How do you Ike the President? !?
Wouldn't you like to choak gently on
Booths windpipo, If he were still
alive? How do you like this going
into the Democratic party for horse
to hitch up in the place of your form
or mule The seed of white men shall
bruise the head of fRepublcanism, and
Johnson shall be the next President
Verify we say unto you, now is tho
time to repent 1t is a bad time for
you fellows TO swap horses when
crossing stream Why don't you
Republican, wench hugging, freedom
shrieking, law breaking, union hating
members of the only reasonable party
in the Union, get drunk and parade with
torchesY The President is the Gov
ernment, you know.
He whospcaks against the President
is traitor. Let traitors be hung
Why don't you get drunk, burn print
ing offices, murder few Democrats,
throw few printing presses into the
street, stop your newspaper, hold
prayer meetings IN barns and get
drunk as owls, as you did when the
other President spoke? "Who's pen
here since Ish pen gone p Who cleo
ted Johnson 7 Why in the name of
thunder don't you get out the Wide
Awakes, burn Democrats in effigy,
shoot at them as they go around corn
ers, waylay them in post offices, shout
'rah for Link-Johnson, and hold fast
to the prize you found down South.
"way down South in the land of Dixie !"
Amt that a pretty little song How
do you like this 'expediency dodge ?"
Why don't you cackle when your
President lays an egg? Why don't
you celebrate, jubilate, investigate,
operate and the arid tonsils iarigate as
you used to once p
Why don't you laugh smile-talk,
say something, if 1T is not so ALFRED
smart? Gracious, butyou fellows arc
busy about nowl This is your Presi-
dent. God gave him to you. You
selected and elected hIm What's the
trouble in your campY Oh, but you

you-hang you-abuse you-harass
you in business--malign you insult
you-rob you and use you as you have
for five years used u.s. You needn't
look scary like when you see rope, q
prison or q gun
Get out the Wide Awakcs. Call out
the loyal leagues ! Get up some sani.
tary fairs. Appoint few Brigadiel
Generals. Raise some colorcd troops
Turn your prayer meetings into elcc
tioneering booths. Tamper with elec
tion returns. Control the telegraph
Lie to the nation. Open your mouths
and guffaw when the President speaks
Be soclable. Don't act like wandering
drops from grand funeral procession
Why you looked pleascdly good
joy struck, happy, angelic when Lin
coin died, compared to the way you
look now Poor Republicans-hou
