DEMOCRATS vs.. WOMEN.

This matter of franchise has never.
as yet, been reduced to a political
measur, and, consequently, neither
party, as q party, has committed itself
10 its defense or rejection.
Each party look upon it as they
would upon the question were it raised,
whether or not the right to kick with
both legs at once, should be conferred
upon mule. The Republicans would
doubtlessly say at once, this is no .po-
HtIcal issue, and we care not wheth-
er the mule kick with both legs, one
leg, three legs, four legs, or how it
may kick, we are sure it will not kick
us!
Not so, with the Democrats: they
would be decidedly opposed to the
mule departing from established Gus
tom and, besides, it would be "uncon-
stltutional y They would prefer it
would use but one leg to kick with
and, as it belongs to an '.inferior race"
1T should not be allowed to kick at
all; for the reason, that the less the
mule kicks the less l.ey get ktcEedt
Now the Democratic party knows,
and each individual with common in.
telligence in that party, knows that
were the elective franchise conferred
upon our female population to-day,
nme-tenths of them would vote against
that party by voting the Republican
ticket and we'll the Democrats know
1.-THE mule would not only kick
with both legs, but all of its legs, and
bite too.
The lady readers will pardon the
illustration, but there is such an abso-
lutte infamy about Democratic tactics.
that nothing but the severest iIlustra
tions Will discover Its tur ,,itude
When civil rights were conferred
upon the Negro the Democrats got
kicked
When the Amendment to the Consti-
tuition was ratified the Democrats got
kicked again.
When the law passed allowing
soldiers to vote in the field, the Demo
Gratis got another dab.
When the list of deserters and draft
sneaks was published you could see
the print Of the mules foot in the
countenance Of every Democrat!
MORE JEFF DAvIs.-W the com
ing of autumn is ushered in the semi
annual farce of the newspaper trial
of jeff Davis.
In reading these illusions to the
trial of the great Chief of Rebels, we
must confess great lack Of appetite
for such an unsavory dish. The
thing has turned sour-smells bad
stinks-nauseates- short is rotten,
Now # Chief Justice Chase intends to
hold up this mass of judicial putres-
cence to the gaze and smell of the
American people for three years
longer, we wish to be excused from
attending the feast
We have heard that VAN. deceptive,
hypocritical, cry of JEFF. Davis will
be tried in Washington, . jeff Davis
will be tried in Richmond" at the
March, the April, the May, the June,
the October, the November, &c, term
of the District Court, and so on, until
every American is perfectly sick Of
the Supreme Court. JEFF Davis, Chase
the counsels, attorney Generals, Mar
shalls, officers, and every other per-
son that ever had anything to do with
jeff. Davis. And most if not all
these deceptive impressions, have Ell,
Their been authorized or sanctioned by
Chief Justice Chase
There is nothing more or less In
this whole farce Of the supposed trial
Of jeff. Davis than pure intention
to equivocate and prevaricate the
matter until the green memory of
his damnablc crimes shall fade from
the soldier, the father, the mother
the sister, wife and brother, of those
whom he so cruelty murdered, and
then spring leak in the law and let
the whole matter ooze out
