Brickdust for sore ueads.

Here is shot from 'Brick" Pomeroy's
lecker-in fact whold "broadside." 1t
takes Brick" to excoriate Abolitionism;
"This reminds of little story! Say,
you radical .!nigger-loving. Anna Dickin-
son, Fred Douglas, Ben. Butler, style of
Republicans, how do you like johnson p
How do you like going out of the Union
for President? Yon Emen who preach
that God is controlling events political as
well as eternal? How do you like Ten
nessoe craftsmanship? How does it COM
pare with fatboat style?
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 Lazerous, but Andrew johnson
in the White House. Pretty picture, isn't
tt, you freedom shrieking, press mobbing,
democratic hanging cotton stealing, women
robbing, plunder loving, prison advocating,
democratic abusing, ballot-box stufiing,
Office holding sepulchrcs, full of nigger's
bone?
How do you like the President? Woldn't
you choke gently on Booths windpipe if
he 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 Repub
iicanism, and johnson shall be the next
Prtsi lent. Verify we say unto you, now
is the time to repent 1t is bad time for
you fellows to swap horses when crossing a
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 torches? Stand by
the President. The President is the gov
crnment you know!
Blessed doctrine, thought dcvine,
But this president dodge is ine
lie who speaks against the President is
traitor !! Let the traitors be hung =
Why don't you get drunk, burn printing
Offices, murder few Democrats, throw a
few printing presses into the streets, stop
your newspapers. hold prayer meetings in
barns, and get drunk as owls, as you did
when the other President spoke Who's
pin here since Psh pin gone? Who cleo
ted johnson? Why in the thunder don't
you get out the Wide Awakes, burn demo-
Gratis in efligy, shoot at 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 Dixicv'
Ain: that a pretty little song? How do
you like this "expedicncy" dodge? Why
don't you cackle when your President lays
an egg? Why don't you celebrate, iuJ-
late, investigate, operate, and arid tonsils
irrigate as you FUSED to once ~
"Come ye sinners poor and needy.
Weak and wounded, sick and sorc"
johnson ready stands to save you,
Now this cruel war is o'erl
Why don't you laugh -smilc-talk, say
something, if it is not so alfred smart?
Gracious, but you fellows arc busy about
now! This is your President. God gave
him to you. You selected him, elected
him H.! 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 mobysu-prison you-hang you
abuse you-harrass you in business-ma-
hgn you-insult you-rob you and use you
as you have for five years 'uscd us. You
needn't look scary like when you see rope,
prison or gum
Get out the Wide Awakes. Call out
the loyal leagues Get up some Sanitary
Fairs. Appoint few Brigadicr G Generals
Raise some colored troops Turn your
prayer meetings into electioneering booths.
Control the telegraph. Lie to the nation.
Open your mouths and guffaw when the
President speaks. Be social. Don't ac.
like wandering drops from grand funeral
procession. Why you look pleascdly good
joy struck, happy, angelic when Lincoln
died compared to the way you look now
Poor Republicans-how drcadfully grief
wears on you!
Advance in Gold.
