every minnit the distance between them
is a widenin, widenin, widenin, and at

To drop the metafor. (Which by the way
l kin Jerk when I feel SO disposed,) the
prospect isn't ez encouragin ez It wuz, ana
i fear, in fact l feel certain, that the short
cuts TO otis which the Dimocrisy thought

veto, is the longest way around. l cam
not understand what indoost the Dino
cratic leaders. our chosin standard bearers
10 make such egrejus asses NV themselves
ez TO place enny dependence on Johnson
a, all. What Good they hev been thinkin
nv: Wuz not our experience IN 1861
suficien, 10 deter en- from maxim any eS-
per;men, which involved abandonment Nv
anv Nv u principles: Didn't We in the
hope Nv ketchin Abolition war votes
nominate Mick Lellan, and didn't the war
men jeer at US. and fout US, and say,
4" Behold, We hev better wal men wv our
own-why should we leave home to find
that NV which We hev a plenty !" When
Androo Johnson in a fit Nv temporary in
split on Sumner, why did our
like idiots pick him up, and indorse
him without wait,n for the fax Didn't
they know that Sumner wuz q sort Wv a
dose Nv calumet, witch worked on the
Presidents liver. and necessitated the dis
Nv all the offensive matter which
had accumulated durin his long term Nv
Dimocrisy: Wv coarse it wuz, and TO-
day, Androo Johnson. hevin in that
speech got rid Nv the last vestige Nv Dim
ocrisy which infected him., comes up a
stronger man agin US than ever. We
made two errors. On the 4th Nv March,
1865, at his inoggerashun, when he made
a specksikle Of hisself. we murmured
gently to ourselves, its all right he's
wun Nv u.s." And we sed the same after
the splurse Nv the 22d Nv February last.
Oh. my friends, they wuz both fatal err
rors. Them spasms wuz the effort Nv a
noble nacher a ,ryin to git rid Nv Locofo-
coism, and from the fact he immejitely
after commenss & missellaneously apintin
Abilishinis,s and Republicans to Offices
and hem, showed a sine Nv a disposition
to extend his hand to q single conadin
its my opinion he's succeeded.
We bet too heavy on the fight atween
the President and Sumner. Sumner is
ordained TO slluz hev q gong Nv sun
kind, witch he is also ordained TO keep
perpetually a poundin. He's bin for sew
eral years amusin hisself q poundin the
Dimocricy, and when there wasn't enuf
that TO make it interestin he turned on
Johnson, and he'll pound at him till suthin
else exci,es his wrath. He's a Spanish
bull, possessin sharp horns. and a immense
amour, Nv strength and agility, which he
is continually a wastin by jumpin at SIGH
red flags ez are mischeevusly waved afore
him. He's jest ez apt to gore his friends
ez his enemies, and his lungin at Johnson
wuz no sign that Johnson had gone back
on Ablishnism.
But enuff Nv this. Sence il hez becom
a fixed fact that the boorish tailor, who
now BY accident okkepies the place Nv the
Linkin. made vacant BY his I'M
timely death BY the hand Nv a vile assss-
sin (whose only redeemin trait wuz that
he wuz a staunch, uncompromisin Dino
crat)-now l say that it's plain that this
drunken sot amt agoin to distribute the
parronag amongst US who needit so much.
I ask in iudignashun wat is it that we are
asked 10 indorse:
He proposes TO continue the Freedmen's
Buro bizuess.
He refooses TO withdraw the military
from the Dimokratic Stats.
He r~efooses 10 restore 10 u sutterin
brethren Nv the Dimokratic States the
habis corpusses with the tyrant Linkin
wres,ed from them.
He keeps jefferson Davis q pinin in a
loathsome dungeon, and only refooses TO
bring him to trial becaz, 4sooth, he haint
yet got things in the right shape TO hang
him.
Good enumerate other insults and OPP
pressions he hez piled upon Dimocrats,
but t forbear. I might if I wuz disposed
to harrow up the Dimocratic sole and las.
sera,e the Dimocratic bosom, state how l
wuz treeted. when on the Gath Nv Feb
rooary last ! made a delegashun Nv my
self and went to Washington for the pur-
pose Nv laying before him the necessity Nv
the removal Nv the Postmaster at the Cor
ners, and the appointment Nv myself in
his stead. l found that his speech had
reached all other parts up the Yoonited
States as soon eI it he'd kentucky. for
there wuz suthin over q hundred thou
sand stanch DEMOCRATS there, oil with Pc
titions noomesously signed. which they
he'd held over from Bookannon's admins
t~ration, recommendin uv EN- to places.
How wuz we receiveda How did An
droo johnson treet USE I might say how
emphatically I wuz showed OIL Nv his
room, and with what reckless profanity ]
heerd him remark that Washington had
Sunk with secesh ever since he vetoed the
bill, and that fool speech had acted on the
whole country like 4 puke, and that each
State had spewed its foulest material onto
| Washington. and that the atmosphere
wuz heavy with their breath, ct settry, e,
settry. but I forbear.
Suffice it to say. that the few Dino
cratic members of Congress had hard work
borrerin money enuff to get the mos
spectacle Nv the crowd home agin, ano
eyin then thousands Nv EN- who wui
drawed there by that speech, shoor Nv
ap,ntments, wuz obliged to walk home ig'
ANONYMOUSLY, Nv whom I wuz won.
