this ingenious arrangement the Internal
Revenoo isn't diffoosed very much. The
intelligent citizens are averse To labor, |
save wat they hev TO do TO pervlde EN-

who will work. that they don't aocumu

shel go to Moo York. In Moo York is
n field pckoolyorly adapted to me. In
Moo York aldermen and city otlishels go ez
mourners at the funerals nv prize fighters
in Moo York they elect gentlemen ON skool
boards wich are unable to write their
names; in Moo York John Morrisey wuz
elected to Congris, and in Moo York little
Sammy Cox got into posishen. In Moo
York Ben Wood is apower, and Fernandy
hez intlOoenCe Lookin at these things |
feel that there is hope for me.
Financially know that it is all right.
In Moo York thCr is fifteen millions per
year to be stolen, and the facilities are so
magnificent ~ to make livin off the city
nOthin but luxurious idlenis. When wuz
thcr last and saw how easy it wuz l reely
blushed for my sex.
Politically Il coodent be no better. The
DimoCrisy of all the rest NV the country
kan be fetched, but our Irish fellow citi-
zens NV Moo York are invulnerable They
are splendid men and most consistent in
their Dimocrisy There is no people in
the world wich 30 love liberty wich
hcv sich determination that all men
shel be lrec-Ceptin, NV course, niggers
and others wiCh don't agree with them.
The hatred wich the oppressed O'Murphy
bears to his English oppressors is only
exalted by his desire to hcv Niger wich
he kin smash into the dust. There is
in the Irish character an !nvincible
hatred NV slayery-onless they kin be the
masters; and undyin loveu ekality till

their specially. Ez there is thousands Nv
niggers in Moo York, and cz Dimocrisy in
! that city means KILN Niger, there aint
no danger NV our ever losin that vote.
Shood the nigger race run out our party
wood languish, but 1t wood only be for a
time. So important is this plea to us that
the leaders NV the Dimocrisy wood search
the earth from the north pole to the south
to find some race wich tho Moo York Di
mocrisy could reasonably claim to be 500
perior to. | don't know whether there is
siCh race ON the face NV the globe or not
but ef there is, IL wood be found and i'm
portid, for sich race we must hev. Sc
long ez there's q nigger there'll be a Dim
ocrat.
At the Cross Roads there amt nobody
