How Jack Became a Democrat. j..

Jack was red hot Aboitionist, and his
chief pleasure seemed in making the facts as
notorious as possible. His friends and asso,
cates, with one consent, pronounced Jack a
bore and a nuisance.
One day, Jack met at the house OF friend
a.young lady of great personal beauty and
accomplishment. Attracted by her loveli>
ness and captvated by her intelligence, he
became assdious in his attention, forgot for
awhile lis 'prnciples," and without inquir-
ing what might have been the political pref
erence OF his lad dylove, imprudenty proposed,
was accepted aud they were married.
The wedding was over, the guests had de-
parted, and the happy couple had retired to
their chamber, and were eusconced in bed,
when Jack, in the course of a quiet talk with
his wife, unwttingy alluded to bis favorite
subject, by causally speaking Of himself as a
republican. "Whal!' exclaimed his wife,
turning sharply and suddenly toward him,
"are you Republican,
YES" replied Jack, Il am a regular out
and-out, double dyed and twisted in the
wool"
Just double and twist yourself out Of this
bed, then,' interrupted his wife; II am a
A1O'oONiui, Htu w III uENGI Slctp VI nitu d
man protesting the principles you do.''
Jack was rather speechless from amaze
ment. That the very wife of his bosom
should prove traitor was horrible; she must
be jesting. lie demonstrated, but in vain;
tried persuasion, twas no go; she was in
earnest, and the only alternative left him
was prompt renunciation Of his heresy, or
seperate bed in the other room.
Jack did not hesitate. To ALLURE the es.
sablished doctrines which had grown with
bis strength, to the mere wbim and caprice
of a woman, was ridiculous and absurd, and
throwing himself from the bed, he quit the
apartment.
In the morning she met him as if nothing
bad happened; but whenever Jack veutured
to alude to the night previous, there was a
laughing imp in her eye, which bespoke her
power and exlingushed hope.
second time be repaired to bis lonely
couch and a second time called on his pride
to support him in the struggle, which be
now found was getting desperate.
The second day was repetition of the
first No alusion was made 10 the subject
on either side. There was a quiet lappi.
ness and cheerfulness about his wife that
puzzled Jack sorely, and be felt that all idea
of forcing her to surrender must be abandon,
ed.
The third night lie was alone! His rehec.
tons were yet more serious than the preyi-
Gus nights; what they were, of course, was
only known to himself but they seemed to
result in something decided; for at about
midnight three distinct raps were made at
bis wiie's door. No answer. The signal
vas repeated in louder tone, still all was
silent. A third time the door shook with
the violent attacks.

WORDS or THE PRESIDENT.

The President received a delega.
ton of Virginians, one day last week,
and made n speech in response to o
set of resolutions presented by them.
we make the following extract from
it, and recommend that it be careful.
~ read:

or insurrection against the Govern.
ment of the United States we erred
and in returning and rcsuming oui

these resolutions, and in the eloquent
address by which they have been &C.
companied. | may say, furthermore,
that after having passed through the
great struggle in which We have been
engaged, ace Should be plqced Bpon

done, | feel that the day is not far
distant speak confidently in re-
ference to the great mass of the
American people--whcn they will
determine that this Union shall be
made whole, and the great right of
in the councils of the
nation be acknowledged.
This is all that can be asked. Let
the President and Congress stick TO
the principles laid down in the above
extract, and all will be right--the
loyal man of the South will be plac-
ed where he ought to be, and the
rebel will have to take q back scat

who have the interests Of the whole
country at heart.
The Hancock Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Ohio) 1857-1870, 1866-02-16

The Freedman's Bureau Bill has
been passed by both branches of
Congress, and now only awaits the
signature Of the President. AS to
whether he will sign it or not, there
are variety of rumors. Those IA
voring the bill gay he will sign it,
and those disapproying it say he will
not.
1t is some what curious TO watch
the course Of men and daily papers
in regard TO the policy and opinions
Of President Johnson. Taking their
opinions as a guide it would be very
hard TO tell how he stands. Every
member of Congress-Dcmocratic
and Republlcan--scems to think that
the President believes just as he
does, and is prepared to follow out
said members line Of policy. And
the daily papers of both parties
each for ITSELF claim to be the only
true exponents of the thoughts and
opinions Of the President. This
claiming Of the President by the bio
ones Of each party, makes the posi-,
tion occupied by him "clear as mud
TO the people.

That war was waged by thos, people
as States, and it went through long,
dreary years. In it they threw OIL

They murdered by systems OF star
