Roads, Oct A. and for which we are
indebted to the Toledo Blade, the
Rev. Petroleum says:

to be present at Cabinet meetin call
ed to consider the causes Nv the on
paTalleled lOOsenin Nv the Nashuel

the various States wich held elections
on the 9th Nv October last. There

derstand, played off onto US.

He hedu't anticipated the defeat. -
Randall couldn't understand it, " and
Wells said 1T come Nv takin Grant
and Farragut along on the excursion,
which distracted the attention of the
people.
Seward was confident that the cleo
ton wcod hev hin all right Good it hev
bin postponed ninety days, which
McCullock attribooted it to the limited
knowledge the masses he'd NV IDjeany
bankin.
Then, says Nasty,
I wuz rekested to give my views,
wich I did.
My lords, sedI, none Nv you hev
got the lice. We wuz beet because we
left the laRdmarks-that' what allied

My llege, on my return from the
Philadelphia Convention, I tarried
awhile in Berks county, wich is in
for the uuanimty with which they

Taxes thad got used to. and that didn't

plying school houses by talkin Nv the
results Nv a glorious war, which they
all opposed, and praisin our mutual
friend Seward, wich they had alluz
hpted as Ablishnist and he'd mt heerd
vet that he had jined the Democracy.
Wuz it any wonder that we went un-

Yes yes T.
DO you want to be marched up to
the polls, by those who tell you how
to vote, beside a nigger n
No no -
Then vote the Demokratio ticket, -
and they all replied
" We will we will I" and they did.
You see, your Exslency. the Deme-
kratic mind isn't hefty enough to COM
prehend them fine arguments ez to
constito 9tionality, ct setry, and when a
speaker deals IN EN- they suspect his
Dimocrisy and fight shy Nv him. But
niger they kin all understand It's
sOothin to the Dimekratic mind to be
continyooally told that there is some

That pitiful man who jest left the
presence Wuz not to blame for the re-

his bread, but what could he do The
Ablishnists knowd he wuz bought
