l wuz called in haste to Washington to be
present at Cabinet meeting called to consider
the causes uf the unparalleled loossening of the
Nashnel Union johnson Dimokratic party in the
various States, which held elections on the 9th

The President was gloomy. he hadn't anti
cpated the defeat. He spected that hevin show
ed hisself through all the Northern States ther
ought to hev been enthoosiasm enough evolved
to have carried EN- without trouble. The fault,
he remarked, coodent be with his pol cy. Their
wuz sunthin SO grand, SO subIimely simple in it,
that it was incomprehensible to him why the
people hedn't at once adopted it. Why, look
at it" sed he, I" offer the people of the North
peace, on the simple condishun nv saying nothin
more about the war; or the mutual trouble which
they found themselves into, and rushing into
the arms Nv their Southern brethren and Nv EN-

We will we will p and they did. You
see, your Exselency, the Demekratc mind isn't
hefty enough to comprehend them fine argu-
ments ez to constooshnality, eft setry, and when
q speaker deals in EN- they suspect his Dimocrisy
and fight shy Nv him. But niger they kin all
understand. Its soothin TO the Demekratic mind
to be continyooally told that there is somebody

It's based upon philosophical trooths. The

you notis that them indiyidooas who see a 8

The Ablishnists know'd he wuz bought with a
price and laffed at hm-the Dimocrisy, sech ez
voted, we d hev got anyhow. Them ez didn't
vote nor do hothin, wuz the upper class, which

Ny leige, | hev spoken. You cant do nothing
with new party for 700 kin only git the Di-
mocrisy 10 ine it, and they wont do it onless the
ofises is throwed in. Yoo can run the Dimoc-
rsy on only one ISSUE and that's the nigger, for
its all they kin understand. So long as the mig
ger exists, Dimocrisy indoors-when the race
becomes extinct the party dies. The two is Ia
dissolubly bound together--one was created TOR
tother and tother for one. When Noah cussed
Ham he laid the foundashuns Nv DimocriSy.-.
Noah got intoxicated-his misfortune originated
with wine and whisky which is the modern sub
stitoot therefor, bein' the motive power Nv Di-
mocrisy, hez bin perseetin him ever sence.
attriboot the decline nv the Dimocrisy to the
bleachin out nv the Afrikan, and that's why !
oppose amalgamashen Yoo can't hate mulat-
ter only half as much ez yoo kin full-blood,
and it will be observed that the intensity of
Dimocrisy has decreased pricisely in proportion
to the scarcity Nv pure blacks. Thus Dimocrisy
is committin sooicde--it hez been the means Nv
It's own destruction. #aaq a4

TIE Conference ended with this, for they wus
all too much affected to Say anything. Seward
murmured suthin about it would be all right in
sixty days-that there wuz no denyin that the
people wuz happy, but no one paid any attention
to him I went home leavin 'em all in tears.
