Chote and other good men retired in disust from
the arena of polleticks, and then Charles Sumner,
the personicashon of selfconseet, of assurance of
lettered stupidity and cringin meanness, became
| the beloved Sennter'' from Massachusetts,. And
Ben Wade, of Ohio, the bunecked cusser of the
sennit, whose profanity would have called down
on him long ago the thunderbots Of heavin, but
for the fact that the Old Nick to who he belongs
Wade morally and intellectually, is incompetent
to deal with the subjects before the Sennt at any
time, and now entirely unfit to be a pacifcator.
Next comes old Thad. Stevens, the cub.footed
iron monger of Pennsylvania, the buffoon of the
House of Representatives in his old aig moanin
over his bitter prospects of ever ben President,
and over his burnt iron-works with every feelin
OF his hart turned into gall and worm wood foamin
as bufoon on the floor of Congress bechin out
his venom and spite against the South account
of the destruction of his iron works. Poor old
fanatic, who will cry when his club-footed father
takes him away. His time is most come. The old
Scratch has come to the surface in Caintucky. and
has been seen by good and true men thar. He is
on his grand rounds, and before next Christmas he
will have old club-footed Stevens, and bull.neck
| Wade, and Kiss Verse Sumner, and Cobbler Will
son. These are the fellers leadin Congress to
| brake the Constitution into thousand skaters.
Thay are the men dividin this Union. Thay are
the chaps who swar to suppote the Constitushon
| and then brake it every day. Thay are the
creatures who swar that representation and tax
| ashon shall be apporshoned among the Starts
accordin to numbers, and then refuse to allow
eleven Stats, who desire to be heard to have any
representation in Congress, while the tax getherer
in grinder the people to dust and powder with
taxes which thay never assumed and in the layin
of which thay were not herd. Look out, Majer,
the Old Scratch will get them. That can't be

SEES the President: "Thay can pass what thay
call lors, and if the people submit thay will have
carry the question to the Supreme Cote, that will
be obliged to declar all thar proceedins null and

.'Mr. President ses |, 81 am no fatterer; but
really, it makes feel kinder good all over, when
see man of sense and nerve at the head OF
the CONVENT, where and General Jackson set SO
long ; and am glad to see yon are follern my
advice. You remember Gnk, and it is worth
while not to forgit him. He is good Teller, and
his example in tahin out the middle man from Tor
every time he reached his back and drored his
beed is worth follerin, when we have to veto
these common Tors Of the ursupin Radicals. don't

"What is his name, and what about him ~ ses
the President
Ses |, Mr.. "President, it amt no man that am
torkn about now. 1t is old ant Patty Brown, who
lived near Stony, Pint meetinhGuse menny years
ago. Ant Patty had an old muskit about as big as
q fence rail- She lived very much alone, and folks
and things wont feered of her. The wild turkeys
in gangs came up close to her house, and got very
bold. Ant Patty could not stand it. She raned
down a tea cup full Of powder, and a double hand
tul Of buckshot into her muskit, and primed it al
rite. and went to her blind before day. Soon tht
: hole gang Of turkeys came goblin up III fine stile
and strung themselves all along the trail, and com
} meuced to pick up the wheat. She counted them
thirtyf0ur in all large and fat. She levelled he
e muskit, and watchin her chance, when she go
t them in rake she blazed away. The repor
: all among the hills and mountains, and then al
= was still as deth. The hole settlements for mile
: and miles around, herd the report. and some tho
/. i. thunder and some an earthquake, and all wer
IS s2eered. About two hours after the report, OF
Patty awoke in her blind, and rubbed her eyes
She had been dreamin of war, of cannons,
% vocaners of lightnin, of horses kickn, and sh
~ did not know whar she was. By degrees cor
y seriousness returned, and she remembered til
turkeys. She jumped up, feelin pain in her he
and sholder, and ran out. The hole side of the hi
was covered with turkeys, cold and stiff, and 81
counted thirty-four, the hole number in the gan!
r. Not one had escaped. Now, Mr.. President, whi
=, can we learn from the example Of old ant Patt
III Brown? I will tell you. l have noticed that Il
Or radical usurpers in Congress, patchn togeth
L. thar lors in sections and clauses as long as Il
ID Mssissippy river that these clauses incongr
- Gus, and every one Of them unconstitutional. s
oi thought when these big, long, double and twstt
be Tors come to us, it wont do so well to take Il
at middle man. like Glnk, as to take out all the mt
m at one fell swpe, like ant Patty. What do "
. think of that?'
Ut THAT is a good suggestion, but think ant Pat
wasted her ammerneshon and got kicked owe
81. We must be on our gard about that, but l sh'
remember her and Glink too Sometimes I W
I take the middle man like Glink, and solnetm
