Mr.. Nasby Dreams a Dream.

Last mite, was the victim NV another
dream. Ef l don't quit this cxplorin the
realms of the fucher in my sleep, | shall
become n second Saint John. Ef so, /
have no doubt my revelations will be NV
remarkable and startliu character.
Methawt the Ablishnists had asserted the
power we diskivcred they possest, after the
late eecshuns, and had gone the whole 6g-
ger. They had forced the South into the
humilashen NV allowin niggers to testify,
and in the Northern States had given EN-
the elective franchise Wv course, tn e
educated and refined Democracy wood new
or consent 90 be rnrrieasup 90 the polls
alongside Nv n nigger-uv course no Dem
ocratic offs s-seeker wood hoomiliate himself
a treatin nigger afore eecshun-it be-
in Article Nv faith with us never to drink
with a Niger unless he pays for it.
Therefore, beein helpless, and resolvin
never to submit, the heft of the Democ-
rasy determined to emigrate in body to
some land where the Anglo -Sackson Good
rool-wherc there was no mixtcr NV the
iisgustin African. Mexico wuz the coun-
try chosen. and methawt the entire party,
in one solid column, marched there. Our
departure was a ovation. The people on our
route wus all dressed in white ez token NV
ioy. and from every house hung banners
with Inscriptions onto EN-, sich ez:
"Now is our hen-roosts safel''
"Canada on its way to Mexico"
"Poor Mexico-we bewail thy fa'el'
Our march resembled very much that NV
the children Nv Isrel, Our noses wnz the
pillers NV fire by mite, and our breath the
pillar Nv smoke by day.
On our arrival TO Mexico, the natives NV
that country, struck probably with awe at
The majestic and flamin expression NV our
countenances, hastily gathered up their lin
in, and silver spoons, and hosses, and sich,
and retreated to the mountains Itwuz a
kompliment to us that them ez hadn't en-
nything remained.
Finally we reached a plain where we,
the modern children NV lsrel, decided to
rename, and Nv course, the fust thing to do
wuz to form a government.
Mcthawt Fernandy Wood, NV Moo York,
