NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICKET
FOR PRESIDENT,

PoR VICE PRESIDENT,
Hon. SCHUYLER O0LFAX.
"Whiskey and Lager. "


The powerful influence of Democratic
principles -''Whiskey and Lager was
strikingly illustrated in recent contest for
collector at Pittsfeld, Illinois. A German
Republican and a Democrat of the same
speech found themselves pitted against one
another for the Office The Republican
promised to devote the proceeds OF the of
fee to the payment of the church debt
The Democrat, who was brewer, pledged a
reduction on the price of his liquor. WINS
kew and lager won with an ease which sur
prised everybody Christianity, morality
intelligence, the happiness and amenities OF
life were left to struggle on as best they
could This is but reduced picture of the
great play which is being enacted on the
National stage. The influences which are
being welded by the devil in the hands of
his imps, and to which the Democratic par
ty has been compelled to credit every one
of its late successes, is ever at work under
mining popular sentiment, panderlng to the
basest passions, fighting with desperate fury
the advance guard of religion and morality,
prostituting patriotic emotion, checking
progress, sapping the efficacy of our institu-
tions, contravening law, tampering with
justice, and fastening reign of confusion
and uncertainty which well nigh makes the
most ardent lovers of all good despair.

Democracy and Methodism.

The following extract is from the La
Crosse Democrat, which has a larger circu-
lation than any other Democratic paper IN
the United States. We commend it to our
Methodist friends
There is now in session in the city OF Chi
cago, nondescript, black and-tan, rump
Radical, politio religious mob, known as the
Ouadrennial Conference of the Methodist
Church. 1t is convened nominally in the
interest Of the Methodist denomination, but
really in the interests of the mongrel party,
and with an eye TO the interests OF Grant,
who is a candidate of the Methodlsts; 1t
will remain in session until after the Chlca,
go Convention, and will ada Its nasal
whine to the chorus OF damnable discords
that will hail the nomination OF the azure
backed butcher. 1t is engineered by the IN
famous Simpson, Methodist Bishop of Phil
adelphia, who, in collusion with Gen. How
ard, the other reverend ruthan OF the freed
mems Bureau, took possession of twelve
hundred churches belonging to the Metho-
dist Church South, and turned them over
to the niggers and convict preachers OF the
North.
Roost high, oh ye feathered beasts, for
the chicken eaters are come up 70 the great
city.
Guard well the back doors to your gin
mills, oh ye dispensers OF bezine, for the
throats that are enveloped in white chokers
are often athirst
Look well to your wallets. oh ye who trav-
ell in the street cars lest ye lose the lovely
patches of ofragged paper that have symbol
lied money ever since the time that these
nice shepherds have furnished inspiration
for the political machine.
Look well to your mustard cups ana
spoons of shoddy silver, oh ye maldens who
doth dispense the juice of the hop, for Lhe
bible bauger doth delight to labor with the
nymphs. who are profanely called beer-jerk-
crs, and the pockets of the brethren are ca
pacious.
Mount a two barrel gun within range OF
your clothes line, oh, ye that have much raj
ment, for the colporteurs have weakness
for square tailed shirts and embroidered
under clothes.
Place none but tried men on guard 70
night, oh, ye who set up free lunches for
your patrons, for the hymn squawkers DO SO
for all things which are free.
|. Guard well your watch tower, oh.ye pub
licans of high and low degree, for in beating
landlords Methodist circuit rider can dou
BILE discount the oldest inhabitants. -
And, oh, ye uususpecting Methodist breth-
rem of Chicago hearken to our warning, and
go mighty slow on your itinerant brethren
from the country, for they viii reneague on
you the first deal.
Brethren let as pray.

President johnson, now an unwilling wit
ness, in hismessage to Congresslast Decem-
Der, says of Gen. Grants administration of
the War Department: ''Salutary reforms
have been introduced by the Secretary ad
interim, and great reductions of expenses
have been effected under his administration
OF the War Department, to the saving of
millions to the Treasury. IF Grant could
SO much improve the War Department,
tent, and an honest man, how immensely he
can improve the whole administration which
is now conducted by a drunkard, an imbecile
and a traitor.

A Democrat on Grant.

Some months ago the Pittsburg Post one
of the most respectable of the Democratic
papers Of Pennsylvania, contained a leader
under the caption of THE Duty of the
Democratic Party in Certain Event,
from which we excerpt the salient paragraphs
without any farther comment. They speak
for themselves:
Suppose that, contrary to the wish of
some of the leading Radical Black Repubii-
cans, who want the office themselves, Gen
Grant should be nominated for the Presi-
dency by the Republican party, what course
ought the Democratic party to pursue
Ought We to nominate man in opposition
toGeneral Grant? Oughtwe to charge him
with being an enemy to his country, or i'll ia
vor Of unjust measures, merely because he
may have received said nomination?
We are inclined to believe that more de
pends upon General Grant now than upon
any other Individual in the United States.
We believe him to be far superior to the
majority of the far-sighted politicians who
have been ruling the nation without bring
ing peace or economy to our legislation. He
is known to all the people as a straight for
lodrd man, and, so far az can be judged, a
man well disposed TO deal fairly with the
people of all sections of the Union. =.
What better thing can We do in case of
General Grants nomination by the Repub-
Ecan party than to rote for ham for tie Pres
idency? Our aim should be to strengthen
his hands to render him as much as.possi-
bic independent of party, aud to elect ham
as the President Of the people If unanimous
! ly so much the better
We solemnly believe that if the people
H. e ~ c.
gether with real unanimity on General
Grant, in regard to the Presidency, it will
be the happiest thing for our country that
could possibly occur. The future good eff
fects Of this course are almost incalculable.
We earnestly ask our Democratic friends
everywhere to consider this subject careful
".
