BRIcKpUsr FOR SORE HEADS


Here is a shot from " Brick" Pomeroy's
locker-in fact whole "broadside." 1t
takes Brick" to excoriate Abolitionism
"This reminds of little story! Say,
you radical, nigger-loving, Anna Dickin-
son, Fred Douglas, Ben Butler style of
Republicans, how do you like johnson ?
How do you like going out of the Union
for President? You men who preach
that God is controlling events political as
we'll as eternal How do you like Ten
nessee craftsmanship How does it com
pare with Hatboat 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 w hite House. Pretty picture, isn't it,
you freedom shrieking, press mobbing,
democratic hanging, cotton stealing, wo-
men-robbing, plunder-loving, prison advo-
eating, democratic abusing, ballot-box suf
fng, office-holding sepulchres, full of mig
gers bones
How do you like the President! Wod'nt
you choke gently on Booths windpipe if
he were still alive? How do you like this
going into the Democratic party for horse
to hitch up with your mule? The seed of
white men shall bruise the head of Repub-
licanism, and johnson shall be the next
President. Verify we say unto you, now
is the time to repent! 1t is bad time for
you fellows to swap horses when crossing
stream! Why don't you Republican,
wench hugging, freedom-shrieking, law
breaking, Union hating members of the
only reasonable party in the Union, 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 the traitors he hung! Why
don't you get drunk, burn printing Offices,
murder few Democrats, throw few
printing presses into the streets, stop your
newspapers, hold prayer meetings in barns,
and get drunk as owls, AS you did when
the other President spoke Who pm

johnson? Why in thunder don't YOU get
out the Wide Awakes burn Democrats IN
effigv. shoot at them in post offices, shout
"rah Tor Link-Johnson, 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 President lays
an egg? Why don't You celebrate. jubl-
late, investigate, operate, and arid tonsils
irrigate as you "nsed to once?'
"Come We sinners poor and needy,
Week and wounded sick and sore, I"
johnson ready stands to save you,
Now this cruel war is o'er
Why don't you smiIe-talk, say
something. if it is not so ALFRED smart
Gracious. but you fellows are busy about
nov! This is YOUR President God gave
him to YOU You selected him, elected
him What's the trouble in your camp
Oh, but you are a wet set of froosters Well
: never mind. We shan't hurt you. We
won't mob you--prison you-hang you -
abuse you-harass vou in business-ma
lign yon-insult you-rob you ard use
you as yon have for five years used u.s.
You needn't look scary like when you see
rope, prison, or gun!
Get out the Wide Awakes Call out
! the loyal leagues! Get up some Sanitary
Fairs Appoint few Brigadier Generals
Raise some colored troops. Turn your
prayer meetings into electioneering booths
Control the Telegraph Lie to the nations
Open your mouths and guffaw when the
President speaks. BE social. Don't ac
like wandering drops from grand funer
al procession. Why you look pleasedly
good, JOY struck, happy, angelic when Lin
coin died compared to the way you look
now Poor Republcans-how dreadful
ly grief wears on you!
