"a HERE is shot from Brick PoMERoY's
locker-in fact, y whole "broadside" ii
takes Brick to excoriatc Abolitionism
"This reminds us of Il little sto-
ryl Say, you radical, nigger-loy-
ing, Anna Dickinson, Fred Doug
las, Ben, Butler style of Republi-
cans, how do you like Johnson p
How do you like going out of the
Union for President? You men
: who preach that God is controlling
events political as we'll as eternal
; How do you like Tennessee states
manship? How does it compare
; with flat-boat style?
And God said let there be light,
and there was light This is bible.
II 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'tit,you
freedom-shrieking, press-mobbing,
Democrat-hanging, cotton-stealing,
women robbiltg, plumber loving,
prison advocating, Democrat abu8-
ing, ballot-box stulIing, office hold
ing sepulchres full Of nigger's
bones?
! How do you like the President?
Wouldn't you choke gently on
Booths windpipe, if lie were still
alive? How do you like this going
into the Democratic party for
horse to hitch up with your mule?
The seed Of white men shall bruise
the head Of republicanism, and
Johnson will be the next President.
1, Verify we say unto you, now is the
time to repent! 1t is a bad time
for you fellows to swap horses
when crossing a stream! Why
don't you republican, wench-hug-
ging, freedom shrieking, law break
ing, Union hating, members of the
only reasonable party in the I'M
ion, get drunk and parade with
torches? Stand by the President!
The President is the government,
you know!
Blessed doctrine, thought divine,
But this President Dodge is fine!
He who speaks against the Pres
ident is traitor. Let the traitors
be hung! Why don't you get
drunk, burn printing offices, mur-
aef a few democrats, throw a 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 pin here
since ish pin gone" Who, elected
Johnson? Why in the thunder
don't you getout the Wide-Awakes,
burn democrats in efIigy, shoot at
them as they so around corners,
waylay them in postotlices, shout
'rah for Link-JohnsOn, and hold
fast to the prize you found down
South? .. ....~. .... ... r.-...
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 arid ton
sils irrigate as you used to once2
"COmc yc sinners poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore"
johnson ready stands to save you
rI Now this cruel war is DER! ,.
Why don't you laugh-smile-
talk, say something, if it is not so
ALFRED smart! Gracious, but you
fellows are busy about now! This
is your President. God gave. him
to you. You selected and elected
him! What's. the trouble in your
camp? Oh, but you are a wet set
of roosters Well, never mind
We shan't hurt you. We won't
mob you-prison 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 us. You needn't look
scarey like when you see a rope,
prison or a gun ...
Get out of the Wide Awakes.-
Call out the loyal leagues! Getup
some Sanitary Fairs. Appoint a
few Brigadier Generals. Raise
some colored troops. Turn your
prayer meetings into electioneer-
ing booths. Control the telegraph.
Lie to the nation. Open your
mouths and gulfaw when the Pres
ident speaks. Be social. Don't
act like wandering drops from
grand funeral procession. Why
you look pleasedly good, joy struck,
happy, angelic when Lincoln died
compared to the way you look now!
Poor .republicans-hoW dreadfully
