BRICK DIST FOR &oREHEADs.

you radical, nigger loving Anna Dick
inson, Fred Douglass, Ben Butler style
of Republicans, how do you like John
son? How do you like going out Of the
Union for a President? You men who
preach that God is controlling events
political a. we'll as eternal, how do
YOU like Tennessee statesmanShip?
How does it compare with fat-hoat
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 Lazarus, but Andrew
Johnson in the freedom shrieking, press
mobbing, Democrat hanging, cotton
stealing, women robbing, plunder low
ing, prison advocating, Democrat abus-
ing, ballot box stuffing, office holding
sepulchres full of nigger's bones?
How do you like the new President?
Wouldn't you choke gently on Booths
windpipe. if he were still alive? How
do you like this going into the Demo
cratic party fora horse to hitch up with
your mule! The seed Of white men
shall bruise the head of RepubIicanism,
i and johnson shall be the next Pre-i-
dent, Verify we say unto you, now is
the time to repent! 1t is a bad thing
for You fellows to swap horses when
crossing a stream! Why don't you Re
publican, wench hugging, law break
ing, freedom shrieking, Union hating
/ members Of the only reasonable party
in the orion, 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 President
is a traitor. Let traitors be hung.
Why don't YOU get drunk, burn print
ing offices, murder q few Democrats,
throw few printing offices into the
street, stopyour newspapers, hold pray
er meetings in barns and get drunk as
owls. a. you did when the other Pres
idcnt spoke? who's pin here since
Ish pin gomez" Who elected John
son why in thunder don't you get
out the Wide Awakes, burn Demo
Gratis in effigy, shoot at them as they
go around corners, wayIay them in
post offices, shout ''rah for Link-John-
! son"' and hold fast TO the prize you
found down South!
Way down South in the land of Dixie"
Amt that pretty little song? How
do you like this ''eXpediency" dodge
Why don't You cackle when your Pres
ident lays an egg? Why don't you
celebrate, jubilate, investigate, oper-
ate and arid tongue irrigate as you
used once?
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded sick and sore,
johnson ready stands to save you,
Now this cruel war is o'er
Why don't you laugh-smile-talk,
say something, if it is not so alI-fred
smart Gracious, but you fellows are
busy about now! This is your Presi-
dent. God gave him to you. You Sc
lected and elected him! What's the
trouble in your camp? Oh, but you
are wet set of TO0sters! Well, never
mind. Weshan't hurtyou. WeWon't
hurt you. We won't mob yOu-im-
prison you-hang you-abuse you
harass you in business-malign you
insult y0u-rob you, and USE you as
you have for five years used Us. You
needn't look scarylike when you see a
rope, a prison or gun.
Get out the Wide Awakes. Gail out
the Loyal Leagues! Get up some
Sanitary Fairs. Appoint few Briga-
der Generals. Raise some colored
troops. Turn your prayer meetings in
to oclectioneering booths. Tamper with
election returns. Control the telegraph.
Lie to a nation. Open your mouth and
guffaw when the President speaks. Be
sociable. DON'T act like wandering
, drops from a grand funeral procession.
| Why, you looked pleasantly good, joy
struck, happy, angelic, when Lincoln
died compared to the way you look
now! Poor Republicans! How dread
fully grief wears upon you!-La Crosse
Democrat.
