All over the land the Radical papers call !
US dog. Thank you, gentlemen, if we
may be allowed the expression. There is
no more faithful creature IN the world than
dog. The universal illustration and type
of fidelity. In POmpeii as in other coun-
tries the dog was worshipped for his ideli-
ty, and left in charge of vast treasures
We see him in pictures to-day, guarding
safes-and guarding women and children
rescuing snow-bound pilgrims from Alpine
heights-saving drowning men and proving
his devotion to mankind
You may call US dog. Be particular to
let it be known that we are dog-a Demo-
cratic dog, with pluck enough to guard the
interests given to onr care by the people,
The dog does not desert his master when
he is left by robbers bleeding, wounded
and impoverished, as some men do their
party, and their friends and the people,
The dog shares the fate of his master in
want and in poverty-he dares fasten his
fangs deep into the throat of the tyrant and
assassin. Cali us dog, certainly. The
dog guards the treasures and does not steal
them, as abolitionists and republicans have,
nor does he forsake his post in time of riot,
pelenrings, and darkness as renegade Demo
Gratis have done for few years past. Call
us dog. Certainly. .......... -s
! The dog is a faithful creature. He sticks
by his friend. He does not steal cotton,
mules, silver-ware, teaspoons, family relics,
etc. He does not steal from his master
who sleeps. You may call US dog. Not
dog in the land but is better than an abo-
Iitionist or Lincoln hireling, who was
only brave when mobbing the defenseless-
or Lincoln thief who went to war in order
to steal from private houses-or general
who had commission given him to steal
silver-ware, cotton, and mules on shares
or Lincoln minion who cringed and stab
bed innocence at the nod of a Stanton OF
other tyrants tool. .
! And they say we have been ''dirty
dog ever since the war begun. So we
have! We have been spewed over by
enough abolition editors and stump speak
ers in the North to dirty even thousand
dogs! In all this time we have been dirty
for we have not forsook our post or our
principles to wash in the blood of our
brothers-to become purified by commits
sions offered us in Lincoln's army, bones
thrown US by those who would coax us
from our duty-we have not rolled in the
clover of stay -at-home official patriOtism(? p
we have not sneaked through rose bushes
to eavesdrop under windows for Provost
marshals, and thereby scrape the filth from
our backs. If we had left our gate post to
be washed as some men have done, We
should be clean noW-clean as any aboli-
ton, stay-at-hom Union hating traitor il
the land. And we might have been fat
sleek, lazy dog, like the pampered, protect
ed Bond holder-or a cur of dog running
away from his post swapping and snarliDg
at all who passed by as political preachers
have so long done.
But if We are dirty dog, We are a dog
with good teeth. They are not rotten
but clean, white teeth, and We intend *
stand guard by the Goddess of Liberty and
snap them into the throat of the next tyran
who shall dare lay his nigger-scented hand
on her-shall guard the Constitution giver
US by statesmen. aud snap our teeth int
the radical traitors who are psrforating i
