The whole country THAT is, the South is uniting
in favor of Dictator, e. e. Andy.) The last five

that Congress is huge nuisance, offensive to the
delicate nostrils of all respectable patriots g. e. the
South ); and should be removed as defunct, putria
tumor on the body polite, lie the South Indeed
it is wonderful that such wise men as Washington,
Madison and Pickney Il. c. the South should ever
have been so foolish as to have advocated Con-
gress. What need is there of Congress? If the
President H. e. Andy reject any measure passed
by Congress, and need not approve any unless he
choose (how condescending in AndyD and if law
is passed his veto can refuse to execute it, H.
the Civil Rights Bill,) why not allow him to make
the laws altogether first and last? Have not kings
and emPerors made all the laws of the world for the
last 5000 years? Would Christ have been born

the truth of history. Let him Ii. e. the Dictator
Andy take the whole government in his own hands.

the whole country, Ii. e. the South What is Con-
gress but mob of Cabling Radicals, who have
their harangues put into shape at the public expense
by government printers to be Ineligible, draw
their mileage and their pay, frank cart-oads OF let
ters preach negro equality drink mean whisky, get
drunk, and abuse day and night ali honest respec-
table and Union loving men Ii. c. the South And
yet this huge abomination costs many millions of
ioliars. Easy there, CoonelD I call for Dicta-
or, q. E. Anuy.) Let him spungo this Congress
OUT and scatter his yeler kivers among the whole
horde of Radical Office holders sending every one
of them with the Civil Rights Bill posted on his
back, to make bureaus for the freedmen. Il see,
Colonel you are after office yourself. "7HGfs whats
the matter FO Away with ell the Radicals Cru
city them Give US Barabbas" &. e. JEFF. Davis,
of Fortress Monroe.
Neither do we want any Supreme Court. 1t will
do mischief too. The glorious days OF bred Scott
decisions are gone. (Bullyl) Illegality will now

Satan has got out of prison. (ho'd never get out
of Libby or Andersonville,) and Cog and Magog
are gathering for battle de Sumner Stevens, Phil
lips, and the defunct fowl that quaeks.) Rise to the
"height of this great OCCASION thou hope and anchor
of our salvation! Il. e. Andy, suppose You have
Lad greatness thrust upon you" An accident ii.

pet g. e. the pet pup of fortune any longer Create
your own destiny. Bare your right arm strike
quick strike hard, strike now-now or never this
instant decides, and we made or undone foreverl
Ii. e. the South I hope Andys shirt sleeves are SO

not be able to strike.)
Then will come millenial days H. e. when Andy's
Dictator.) Sumner and Stevens will hang by the
neck in the Capitol. Phillips will dangle from

will survive, as Andy doesn't waste his smmuni-
ton on dead ducks") The New York World and
News, the Richmond Examiner, and the National
Intelligencer will find "the winter of their dscon-
tent made glorious summer by this son of York. g..

! that word not meant for SatGnin8?) No elections,
no taxes, no revenue stamps negro soldiers, no

Andy johnson will be all in all Il. e, King.
Fellow-soldiers OF the c. s. A., keep awake. is
