When the news NV the result NV the
Illinoy election reached the Corners,
there wuz feelin NV oneasiness witch
was trooly afectin, but when the crush
in intelligence aroVe that Hoffman wuz
beeten in Moo York, there wuz a pros
tration witch wuz only ekelled when the
intelligence ofLse's surrender reached
US We expected defeat in Illinoy, and
some NV the other Stats, but we he'd
hopes that Moo York wood go Dino
cratic, that his Eggslency mite hev
some show NV backin by the people,
and consistently some excoose for con-
tinYOOin his policy. But that hope
wuz taken from us, and NV the entire
| populashen wuZ the only one who he'd
sutf1shent stamina to preserve the
semblance nv cheerfulness, and
that wuz only on akkount nv my
heVin the Post Offs. Elections COOdent
take that from melt is rock witch the
waves NV popler indignashen cant wash
away, thank the Lord, for eff they Good,
| how many NV US wood to-day be holdin
our places2 Still felt overwhelmed,
and ;sorrowfully 1 entered Bascom's.
There, with their heads bowed in sorrer
and tears flown from their venrable
eyes, sot Deekin Pogram, Elder Slath-
ers and few others nv the Saints, who

stood afore the bar; Mechanically, Bas-
com, who wuz likewise bowed down
with greet, sot out the invigorator,
Mechanically we dosed ourselves, and,
still in daze, Mechanically moved out
without payin, BascOm bein too full Nv
sorrer to motifs II.
1t was deemed proper in view Nv the
great calamity that services shood be
held in the church, and at p. NJ, wich
with us mite be sed to mean post NOR
tenn, we slowly and sadly filed in, the
only smilin countenance in site bein
that NV Niger at the door, who wuz
to wunst beltid over the head for lookin
happy.
igave out the hymn.
"Broad is the road witch leads to death"
And it wuz sung with tetchin pathos.
After the weepIn he'd subsidized, and /
got my feelins Gained down so ez to
permit me TO speek, commenst ex-
plainin to EN- the causes NV the result.
1t wuz, 1 sed, a chastenin sent onto us
for our sins; u stripin becoz we he'd ex-
allied our horn in our pride; that, glory
in in the possession nv the post ottisses,
the collectorships, the assessorships
and SIGH we he'd become Yain-glorious
and puffed-up, and careless in perform
ance nv doOties. Their wuZ niggers in
Kentucky goin about free, and im-
piousiy settin at naught the DEGREES NV
servants NV their brethren; and heer
digressed to eloocydate pint. he'd
seen striCters in Boston paper onto
the common practice NY amalgamashen
in the South, witch paper held up the
praCtis to the Condemnation Nv pious
men. "My BRETHREN" sed 1, "them
Boston Ablishnists hev no cleer under
standin NV the skripter. When Ham
wuz Gust by Noar, wat wuZ that cuss.
"He shall be a servant unto his brethTeTl.' -
Not unto strangers-not unto the Phil
listine or the Girgeshite, or the Miller
tie, but unto his brethren? How could
he be servant unto his brethren except
thro Amalgamashen2 Onless we ANAL
gamated with EN-, how could the male
niggers be our brethren? oh my breth-
rem, we wuz obliged to do these things
that the skripters might be fulfilled,
and to the credit Nv the Southern peO-
pie be 1t sed that they never shrunk
from the performance NV dooty. The
per cent Nv yeller niggers in this State
attests how faithful Kentucky hez bin.
But to resoom. We hev sinned in
permittin skOols to come in and unit
EN- for their normal and skriptural
condishen, but these is not all. My
brethren go to Esq. MCGavitt's and get
the township Bible and search till you
find this yer tex:
"And no man puttith new wine into old
bottles, else the new wine doth bust the bot
ties, and the wine is spilled"
My brethren, wich is the bottles Z
The DimOcrisy Nv coarse, and the most
NV EN- may be considered old ones
We hev actid as bottles, carrying about
floods, not perciseley wine, but the
modern substitoot therefor, from ouI
earliest infancy. WITCH is new wine 1
The AblishniStS witch follered johnson,
NV course. New wine is frOthy-sO wn2
they. New wine tizzeS-sO did thew,
Maui T0yfTNn hnz 1fPnnnAE n
so he'd they. New wine is unreliable
so wuz they. AT PhilRdelphy, the put
tin Nv this new wine into old bottles
wuz accomplishments that accursed
place, anshent DimOcrisy witch believes
in Ham and Hagar, met and fell onto
the mex NV Seward and Doolittle, witch
invented Ablishinism, and we mingled
our teers together-the new wine Wuz
put into the venerable old bottle NV
Dimocrisy and notwithstandin we
hoOped it with Federal patronage il
busted, and great wuz the bust thereof;
prone onto the earth, and the new wine
is runnin round permiscus. So wuz
the Skripter fulfilled.
And my brethren while 700 are al
the Squirrels huntin that tex, keep on
till 700 find another to-wit:-
mo man also seweth piece nv old cloth
hlleth 1t up taketh 1t away nom the old and
the rent is made worse"
My hearers, Democrisy went to Phil
adelphia in SCOT of gray, which it he'd
bin a wearin for five years. It wuz
trooly old and Their was greevous rents
in 1t, made mostly by baYonets and
SIGH. oh why wuZnt we content to
wear it? Why wuz we not satisfied
with it? Agin was the skripters full
filed. We patched up the confedrit
gray with Federal blue; we put onto
the back, Sewardi onto the knees,
Randall; onto the shoulders, Cowan;
and onto the seat, Johnson, and they
wuz stitched together with Post Ofisis.
} But it didn't hold. The skripters wuz
fulflled-the old cloth wuz rotten, and
one by one patches fell of, somewhat
dirtted, and takin with EN- a part nv
the old, and the rents is bigger than
be4Ore. Our coat is busted at the ell
BOWS, our pants is fFayed round the
bottoms, out at the knees, and from
behind the flag NV distress waveth
drearily in the cold wind.
My brethren, we will succeed when
we stick to our integrity. Wat wus the
7 use Nv our asoomin what we
did not hev2 Wat wu3the sence NV our
askin our people to vote for Kernels for
CongriS, witch he'd, doOrin the war,
} drafted their sons? Wat wuz the yoose
} Nv lettin go our holt on Niger equali-
ty, witch is the right bower, left bower
and ace nv the DimOcrisy, its tower nv
strength, its anker and cheefest trust,
and Yich is easy NV comprehension and
eminently adapted to the Dimocratic
1nteleGk, and taking up questions witch
VIII all be settled ten years afore they
begin to comprehend m? In breef, wat
} wuz the sense, my brethren, in putin
new wine into old bottles-uv patchfn
} old cloth with new. Let us be warned,
and never repeet the fatle error.
