knowd that the TRAITORS had carried New York,
an that the war waz not endid as muchest as

wasn't as much ov success as the War fer the
Union Shood have been. Nary.
But 1t is only fer little while.
An thar's WHARF the Larf Gums In
In 1862 (ef my memry serves me right, an
praps it Don'D-in 1862, when the Democrats
was comped to go to Canady to sec thare uncles,
and SO 4th, about the time Draft cum on, q

solgers, who had no votes then Qikc the Black
Solgers don't have nop) )-then the sed Democrats
was successful--in prolongn' the war. They had
thare little victories. An now they have EN-

Accordin' to the larst accounts from Mr.. Garri-
badys army,I fear he has had Geo. B. Mcclellan
in command.
Andy John ,on don't sympathise with Garribal-
dy, becavs Joe is fghtin' fer Liberty. Vallan-
digem, nor j. Davis don't sympathse with him
too-nor the Bulk of the Democratic Party.
But Jo don't let that worry him for he don't
sympathize with them, too.
Which is where the Larf Gums In.
