Nasby on the impeachment Failure.

Nasty on the impeachment Failure.
Petroleum v. Nasby,s latest letter is on
the failure of impeachment After describ-
ing the reioicings at twashington, and giving
kilograms from frankie Pierce. the Peoria
Whisky Ring, and Pogram, McP Phelter and
Bascom, of Confederate Gross Roads, the let
ter continues:
"Why" sed 10 Randall who sat moody
and alone, adon't 700 and the President share
in the general exileration2 He doesn't seem
10 be the least eggscited."
"Why shood We" retorted he, Doth the
shepherd 60 into spssus over the sheep he
hez safe in his fold2 The fact is, our eggscitin

The Black Crook is rather startlin to the be-
holder. from the front, but to the managers
who contracted for the legs at SO much pair.
and arranged the tablo, it amt SO startlin. "
"Thinkst thou the new programme will
result ez the president hopesf"
"No, the new party can't succeed, no more
than our last vencher did. 1t amt made up
Nv the rite material. There's more intelleck
than sole in it-more bowels than heart.
There's Chase, Fessenden, Trumbull and
Grimes. Chase hez ambition, Grimes hate,
and Trumbull and Fedsenden dyspepsia
making the Emergencies in the new organi-
zaiion half ambition and hate and half dys-
pepsia. Never trust man whose stumick
is out Nv order-take no stock in him whose
bowelsi is unsound. Inteleck is nothin, heart
is nothin, onless there's stumick under
them on which to build. Chase hez no
Conscience, Trumbull and Fessenden no
gastric joose. Sich men alluz conspire and
alluz fail. Still, I'm glad the things oc-
Cured"
"Ef it amounts to nothin, why glad?'
because it lets johnson and me out.
When Arnold went back on his couEtrymen,
his countymen forgot Joodis Iskariot; when
Aaron Burr ariz, they to wunst forgot Arnold;
Pierce drove Burr out NV the public mind;
Bookanah made EN- forget Pierce, johnson
made em forget Bookanan, and now Chase
and Trumbull will make EN- forget johnson
and me. That's what was driYin at. I'm
der the storm shell leeve for my quiet Wis
consin home and live in peece for, beside
these later cusses, l shel loom up into COM
paritive respectability. Good mite. ALI is

At late hour l retired to my virchus

Methswt the Presidenshel course was reel
and trooly q race course, aud the candidates
he'd to run that course, the winner Nv the
race to be glori6ed. At one end Nv the
track wuz weighin stand, and at the other
the winners post, which wuz the White
House. The runners wuz to carry the can

weights ez their hackers shood put onto EN-
The Republicans had GRANT on the ground
promptly and ready for the race. He come
up splendid. He wuzn't so mighty immense
but be wuz clean -limbed, decently developt
all over, and showed frst-rate in the back
and loins. His trainers pulled off his shoul-
ders few little dead weights which some Nv
his inioodishus hackers he'd chuckt onto him
sposin he Good carry everything. Our people
he'd some difficulty in selecting man 10 run
agin him. Pendleton wuz trotted out but
Belmont Pronounced him unfit; Mcclellan
next, but Voorhees, obiectid. Finally, Chase
wuz selected TO run the appinted race, and
he wuz brot to the weighin stand. To the

he come up to the stand so gallant that not
withstsnding, he carried in his hand silver
pitcher wich the niggersu Cincinnati give
him for defendin fugitive from Kentucky,
our people cheered him vociferous. Tall
strong and muskler-lookin, in good flesh
deep-chested, broad -shouldered, strong backt
he wuz ez perfect specimen ez ever beheld
and all felt confident that he wood hev nc

He come up to the stand gorgeous, accompan-

At this pint Vallandygum, Peerse, Vor'
hees, Morrissey and Wood, who he'd charge
Nv our arrangements, took him in hand

"Take orr this ablishin coat, 'sed Voorhees,
"And this imparshel suffrage vest" said
Morsissey, "the Niger hezn't the moral quail
fcations for the ballot"
''And this free soil shirt" sed Wood.
Sand that anti-fugitive slave law wig,
sed voorhees,.
"And them ekal justice shoulder braces,
sed Peerse.
Sand them humanitarian pants" shreeked
Wood.
ave can't abide none Nv these things,
yelled the crowd. "Peell peel! A1luv these
700 got from the ablishnists, free sellers and
Republicans. Well nun nv en-"
The silver pitcher he carried in his hand
they trampled into the mud, and one by one
the obnoxious garments wuz pulled off from
him. Heavens! wat a change. Ez they

lively fat chested; when the shoulder brace:
wuz removed he became hump-backed; and
when the pants wuz snaked off he stood afore
us the merest skeleton l ever beheld-s
weak, shaky wheazin skeleton. Our fplki
looked disapainted, but it wuz too late to
change. A loose, two-sided wrapper wal
thrown over him, Governor Euglish climbed
onto his shoulders Valandygum jumped
into one pocket, and Fernandy Wood into
the other, the brass band footed, the crowd
yelled, he made one convulsiv start, but il
vain. The stffnin wuz all out Nv him. His
poor, weak knees gave way, his back doub.

bone in him rattlin ez he fell, while Grant
made the race serenely. Then Morrissey,
looking at the poor wreck, said--"what be
got from the Ablishinists wuz all ther wul
OF him after all" At this pint l awoke and
wuz saddened. There's where our trouble
lies. We hev to strip these fellows when
they come to US Nv all that give em any
strength. Chase without his ablihnism CAM

vote for their own men in preference
