II appeal however, with, the rest uv the

Suthin will come in time-what, can't

but somethin will come. The Ablishnists
canpot alluz rool The cuss NV the old
Wing party WIZ that the respective indi-
yidooal members thereof could read and
write, and he'd knak NV doin their own
thinlin, and therefore it Good not be brot
into, that state of discipline SO nessessary
to success as a party That same cuss is
hangin onto the Ablislnists They hung
together from 1856 to 1866. coz there WIZ
what they called a principle at stake !;
and on that principle they elected Lin
kin. They wood have fallen to pieces
then, but our Southern bretheren decid-
ed to commence opperashuns for the new
government it he'd so long desired and
the ! .Iovcrwhelmin Lprcssur uvithe war
smothered all minor isshoos. and all indi
vidoal feciin, and they hung ogether long
enuft see that throo. Now, still for the
principle wich welded EN- doorin the war,
they are holdin together yit, and proba-
bly, will ontil they think this question
wich they are disposill offs disposed of.
Then they will split up and our openin is
made We hev solid phalanx, which
they can't win over or detach from us
We hev them old veterans who voted for
Jaxon, snd who still vote for him. We
hey them steady old yeomenry who viii
swear that Bloc Light Federalism ought
tobe pnt down, and cant be tolerated lin
a Republican Government, and who, bless
their old souls don't know no more what
Blue Lite Federalism was than an unborn
baby does of Guy Fawkes We hev that
solid army NV voters whose knees yawn
hidjusly, and whose coat is out at the ell
bows, and whose children go barefoot in
winter, while their dads are drinkin cheap
whiskey and DAMN the Government for
imposin an income tax. We hey the pa
triotic citizens whose nose blossoms like
the lobster, and who live in mortal fear of
nigger ekality and we hev John Morris
eys constitOoants
] fJThese classes argument won't move, and
reasonin won't faze. They like to abooze
the Government for levyin, taxes, hopin
to deceive somebody into the idea that
theyPay taxes, and that it bears hard on
to EN-; and they oppose niger ekality
beeoz it soothesI EN-, like laudnum, to
think that there is somebody in the coun-
try lower down than themselves. The Di-
mocracy allus he'd these, and allus will.
Ez remarked, the Ablishnists, when
relieved Nv the pressure now bearin on
to em, will grow fractious, and split, and
those classes will hev no trouble to git
into majority, and then our time comes.
