GREAT RE.JoIOINGi h
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TRIUMPHANT
THE ETHIOPIAN CAN CHANGE HIS SMELL.


We clip the followingparagraph from the
local editorial column of the Morning Jour
nal of yesterday, and propose to make flew
suggestions:
ut has Just been demonstrated that 1t
will deodorize the blacklist Ethiopian. The
Ethiopian cannot change his skin; : but II
he will use Podogogue, he can change that
smell which we all hear so much about ana
which, whilst it Is no disgrace, Is, perhaps,
an inconvenience. 1t is strange that Podo-
gOgue will accomplish this, but 1t Is true,
and truth is often stranger than fiction"
If variety is the spice of life, the people
of this country owe debt of gratitude to
the Republican party. For the last thirty
years, the "American citizen Of African
decent" has been served up in almost every
style of the art cuisine, in the vain attempt
to suitth fastidiOus palates of the masses of
the American people. One would think
that even the urgent political necessity Of
making the negro palateable, could not call
forth any measures which were not tried, or
theories which have not been tested. But
Yankee inventive power is almost mex
laustible; and the last addition TO the at
fractions of the political bill of fare, Is
certainly worthy of the inveptor--if not
the great political panacea.
From the above extract from the journal
it will be seen that an "infallible remedy has
been discovered, which will absolutely de-
odorize the blackest Ethiopian!" Strategy,
my boy-nothing like strategy! Various
people have been accustomed to turn up their
noses at the odor of the sable population.
when "coming 'twixt the wind and their
nobility"-but now remedy has been found
which will deprive CopperEead papers of
their criticisms at Sap1bo's expense, and re-
move the cause of all objections in an olfac-
tory point of-smell. A bottle of "Podo-
gogue," applied with sponge to Sambo,
will deprive him of his "fumery." We un-
derstand that National committee consist
ing of Greeley, Sumner, and Stevens as
bottle -holders-Auna Dickinson, Wendell
Phillips and FOrney as spongers, has been
appointed to deodorize them. AS fast as
Sambo is deodorized, Of course he is quail
fled to vote-therefore, what Copperhead
would dare to hint at bleaching or straight
ening Of wool?
1t is said that various Republican Central
Committees have ordered several crosses of
the remedy to be used in the coming cam
paigp. Instead of political documents,
stumpers will be furnished with few bot
ties of "Podogogue," which is expected to
destroy the odor of the darkeys and the pref
udices of white people. Instead of "Amer-
lean citizens of African SCENT" we will have
"American citizens ooithom African Scenf'-
thus the pill of negro suffrage is sugar
coated.
The Editor Of the Journal is somewhat
nonplussed for terms OF admiration for the
"Podogogue." We would refer him to so
much Of classical authority--Shakespeare,
the immortal William, was clearly of opin-
ion that 0thello won Desdemona's affection
by - well, here it is, Mr.. Editor of the
Journal. a s~a
Barbantio-Thou hast enchanted her,
For Ill refer me to all things Of sense
IL she in chains Of magic were not bound
Whether maid-so tender, fair and happy;
So opposite to marriage that she shunn'd
The wealthy cuTled darings Of our nation
Would ever have, to incur general mock, .r
Run from her guardsge to the sooty bosom
Of such a thing as thou. To fear not to delight
Judge me the world if It's not gross in sense
That thou hast prdcticed on her NTH foul charms
Allured her DELICATE youth aofh drugs or minerals
That deOIOTize. -
