NAYsHNAL HOTEL,
Washington, Feb. s, 1866.
| EdyturS Of the Sunday Merk0ry:
The onterrifed African hes he'd a
grand tOrk with our Democratick fell
Ter citysin, President Andy Johnson.
Yest' day forenoon kwite a likely gang
of abel-boddid and aspirin darkeys,
hedded by Fred Dugallass and George
7. Bowling, who, bleve formally KEEP
an oister shop in Broad street, New
York, and was sumwhat distinguished
for his briles, called on the Cheef- -Madg-
istrait to instruct him as to his dootieS
and obligashins to the blacks and tans
Of the South. Butler, the Bottleman,
looked in at the White House about the
same hour, and was ankshus for an i'm
incident interview; but Mr.. Johnson
heVing perlitely rekWested him TO cork
up and simmer down Ontil the blacks
had he'd thar turn, he retired with the
same reddy alackrity that Characterised
his movements at Fort Darling and
Fort Fisher. The delegashin, which
represented our dark completed breth-
rem in all parts of the United States and
the cOnkered Southern provinces, shuck
hands with the President kwite AMIGA
bic, and Cityzen Bowling opened the
palavir with a speech that did greatcred
it to his ebony instinks. He remarkt,
in substans, that Jack was as good as
his master, and rayther better thet
wool he'd as much right to go to the
polls as har, and thet eff the niggeroes
Warn't fully admitted inter the pale of
freedom, thar never could be that cor
jail sOshil intercourse atwiXt the whites
and blacs, witch the similarity of thar
tastes, intellecks and fzzical confOrma-
shin, renderd nesSaserry for thar mute
shell comfurt, happiness and conveen-
yence. He sed he appeerd as the deli
cate for New England, the landof Sum-
ner, and Wilson, and Spraig, whar the
Ethiopian and Cawcashian was wun
and onseparable, and Dingy Dinah was
as deeply respected by the calico shiV-
orally as Mrs. Beechers Toe.
Fred Dugallass, who RELY forks e.
xviii to a Philadelfy lawyer, and is
Stevens, fOllerd SCOT in a more eloquent
vain. He argued from Coke and Black
stun, that cutler was no bar to the rights
of suverinty. Look at England" he
remarkt, from the airlest ages she has
Recognised the ekwality of the African,
and ef the Black Prence had a lived,
she wud have had a cullud man for
King" Healso referd to his great ann
sister, Black DugallasS of Scotland, as a
darky universally respeckted in his day,
and to his majesty the King of Siam, as
fine French and Latin skullard, tho
of the compIexshin Of the ace of clubs.
Here the President, with that grave hu-
mer for which he is remarkable, in
kWired ef the King of Siam didn't pay
hummage to the White Elephant. Fred
rick sed he bleved he did, and wot of it?
To which His Eggsellency replied that
he would advise the cullud race in A
merica to do the same thing, or mebbe
they mought feel the animals tusks.
This dry Observashin took the cham
pyon Of Sambo's rights slitely abeck,
but he soon returnd to the charge and
pied the caws of his people for about
fifteen minnits Ikea perfeck steambote.
The President ntthen breefy responded.
He sed he had taken CRATE plesher in
playin the part of Holy Moses to the
Sons of Ham, but the fact was they
wanted too much pork for their shilIin.
He was thar friend hand and gluv Tat
the same time putin on his gIuv and
Otferin to shake hands with DOwling1,
and was Willin to lead them into the
land of Pr0mmis, but not, right away,
into the land Of Performance. They
must bec0ntentt to WaitaWhileon Mount
Pigsah and admire the prospeck, afore
they went the entire hog. The major
ity, he allowed, was agen cOnvartin EN-
inter suVrins, Ontil they had tested EN-
for awhile in thar moo capassity, and
seen wOt kinder metal they wer made
of. Eff they didn't want to be eegstor-
minated, they'd better let well enuff
alone. Those as egged EN- on to demand
full pollytickle ekwality was Just the
kinder trends as would stand at thar
backs and see thar brains blown out,
and he advised EN- as father, not to
run agen snag.
| dunno as the abuv war percisely the
Presidents words, but | can vouch for
the accuracy Of the sentiments. In
coarse the remarks didn't meet the del
ecashins veWs. They had iist cum cock
ed and primed from Thad Stevens and
his Whippers in, and warnt prepard to
liSSen to resin.

-Dugallass around him drew his cloak,
Folded his arms and thus he spoke'
Ses he, "Mister President, l shell ap.
peal from you to the peepil."
do so!'' anserd Old Hickory the
Seckind. "Do so, my mulatter friend.
/ hev amazin confidence in the peepil."
Good for him, warnt it? And his con-
fidence isent misplaced.
| understand the RAIDS air perfeckly
ravin at the manner in which thar pets
war treeted, and you may expeck anuth-
er broadside of revolooshinary tork in
both Housen afore the week closes.
COnsiderin the way they're pitchin
inter the President, wunder he dusent
REMOVE thar hangers-On from all the
departments Of the publick sarvis, and
put his troO trends in thar places. Setch
a mesher would be very apt to bring the
DisuniOn blackgards in Congress to thar
senses; for thar isent wun of EN- that
hasent got a hull gang of mercynary
satellites dependent on the Guvern-
ment for support, haf whose time is
spent in libellin, abusin, and cursin the
Peepil's President.
Hopin that he'll sun put an eggstin-
gWisher on these vermin, and fill thar
places with decent men,
| remain
an Andycrat up to the handle,
and yours, allus,
A DIsBANDED VOLUNTEER.
