 The papers uv the country are very gen. orally discussin the questions: ssShel the Democratic party live or die?' wich, ,.when we take into consideration the fact that the corpse is afore us, seems holler mockeryy, ,, and heartless trifiin with the feelin uv the friends of the deceast. Ther aint no yoose uv talkin uv its -fucher. now and tomb stun mite ez well be put up, fegardlis of expense, commemoration it's virchoos
 The Chicago Times and various other pa pers are advocating the ijee ,uv doppin, oyer. to nigger s1lffrige. I have let my Wefjste- rian intelleck lite ontto this subieck at va. rious times, and the more I hev considered 1t, the more am satisfied it won't do. A naber of mine wunst he'd the stumick-ake, and applied to me for remedy. In 8 spirit of jockelafity I told him that strik- nine wood cure that, ez we'll, .ez all other physicle ills The'poor fellow, not seeing it wuz joke, took an ounce or two,sl and need I state the result? He sleeps in the valley. Nigger suffrage wich is rank pizen WoVo CAI IAc tiOlUlGS uf Gll6 hlIQOccISYs but woodnt it end Dimocrisy also? We mite die graceful ez Dimocrats, but wood our resurrection ez Ab1ishnists be certain? Woodn the people, when we are wunst en- tombed, forget to awaken us?d "
 My objections are these: srrr. l. We can't gobble Abhshen votes with nigger suffrage, for the reason that eff the people desire 1t they'd d probably go to the inventors thereof, that they mite beashoor- ed uv gettln the genooine article. ' ''''f Z. We cant get the nigger after he is Q man and brother. The Times idee is, we'd ketch 'em on the score that the trash materially gravitates to us. We. are to late for that. The nigger jusnow is looking g!up not down and ef the tax wuz taken off uv whiskey, so ez to bring that essential I to Dimocratic success wunst more within our means, and we shood devote ourselves enthusiastically to the work we would not be able to get em down to ohr level in twen- ty years. ,s&d1 sIs"e. r ]. Afore that time shel hev gone inton that other world wher pollytix,wont trouble me and if the orthodox relijus beleefs uv the day is correct, in the department of the luther world in wieh Ishel pull up, there will be strong Democratic majority.

 Here is suthin feasible. Let the South adopt the Constooshnel Amendment to- wunst, proyidin. Congress will knock out the third section r4Wich sdisfranehises the heft uv us whoare hBsfor Con- $S and a so repeel the test oath, and immeiiit1y let Johnson annex Mexico. How will it stand then? We hev ten states out t,7wich we ken. depend upon. Kentucky, Ueleware, anel Maryland make thirteen, and. Mexico kin be cut up into twenty more, Or thirty fo.r that matter, givin us clean majority ill the Senit House and Electoral College. J hey let my intellecksout onto this subjec,J and aint mistaken.
