Easy, Deekin, replied |, "stiddy std
dy Don't take pOsishen rashly 1t ain t
improbable that we may heV to nominate
Hancock or some other soljier. In that
event-but I've sed enuff.
Well, at all evence, sed the DeekiD,
its most hoomiliatin thing to hev thrown
I in our faces a infamous attempt to subioo-
gate us-to pledge our labor to pay debt
unconstitooshnally injured, and un-"
'Deekin, sed I, ''your zeel do admire,
but yoor reely indiscreet. 1t may be found
necessary in order to carry Moo York to
nominate Belmont's man, who win be pledg-
ed to this very thing. Go a little slow. -
well, however that may be, it's burn
in shame to throw into Kentucky's face q
A6olitionist-two nv EN- in fact-and-."
'Deekin, Il spoke this time severely,
your very indiscreet to, day. It's possible,
and | may say probable, that that noble pa
triot, Chief Justis Chase, who hez been a
friteful Abolishnist, and who, eff he runs,
will, for obVius reasons, make us swaller at
the beginnin portion NV his heresies, may
be our candidate. Say nothing, Deekin,
/ that yoo' heV to take back,
Feelin that rite here wuz a splendid
chance for an improvin discorse on the ma
cher, objicks and aims of Democrisy, l
/ opened out unto EN-.
Dimocrisy, remarkt, lis distinguish
ed ckeefy for its elasticity in adapting means
to end. One wood suppose that Post Offs
is its cheef end. In one sense it is. Dim
ocrisy is willin to sacrifice anything wich it
hez for Post Offs. 1t mite raise Deekin
Program ire to sujest the nominashon Nv
Hancock, on akkount uf his insistin on pay
/ ing off the Nashnel debt, or Chase, who hez
bin in his day suspected Nv bein tainted
with Abolishnism. But, my brethring, let
it be remembered that success is the main
objick. Success is what Bascom wants,
that [, bein contiDyood in offs, may hev the
means to pay for the Ekker | consoom, and
avoid the necessity NV bein continyooally re-
/ kested to chalk it down, which practis he
esteems disgustin, and one wich greatly in
creases his labors.
Captain McPelter wants success that he
may continyoo to hey assessors, collectors,
and revenoo officers with wich he can divide
the profits NV the 81 tax on the whisky he
makes, and Dekin Pogram wants success
that he may heV the privilege Nv hirin EN-
for Sl4 per month, deductin 25 cents per
day for each days absence, without no Bu-
row ofiser or military satrap hanging about
to molest or make afraid. Success is the
main pint, and eff Hancock is the way, walk
ye in it; eff Chase or Seymour 10 the way,
walk ye ditto, for with each NV these men,
all these things Wen hev When they
come to US they leeve ther former selves be-
hind
Rnt methinks 7 hear one say. Hancock j:
a sojier, Seymour a antirepudiator, and
Chase a Ablshnist What NV that? They
may be wat they ike when they go into offs
-assosiashen with us fetches them sooner
or later Kin 700 tetch pitch and not be
defled? Doolittie, Cowan, and Dixon wuz
Abolishnists. When they split from Alb
lishism-that mint they fell into our en-
braces the became ez satisfactory Dino
Gratis ez | Good wish. The road down is an
easy one to travel. It's easier to slide than
to climb, which is the reason why so many
more are damaged than saved
Dimocrisy, like Bascom's new likker,
holds a man when it gifts him. johnson
wuz a good enutf Ablishnist till be called
onto US for help, and then he wuz lost.
Let Chase stay with us a week and he'd for
git all his old ideas, yoo.bet. Shood you
poke that silver pitcher at him the niggers
give him at Cincinnati for defendin fugi-
tive, he'd swear ike Peter he never saw ii
only diferin from Peter in that he'd stick
to it.
And there is no goin back for the princi
pal ones. Their remorse kind o, drives en-

then ez tho they originally wuz Nv us. Let
us, my brethrin, never reject any help We
kin git. Let it come in any shape and from
any source, it finally assimilate to US and
be NV us. Remember johnson, Cowan,
DooIttIe, and Dixon sWore, when they
started at Philadelphia, that they never
Good 60 into the ranks Nv the Dimocrisy: in
a year they wuz maxim speeches for us il
Connecticut.
Ez l conclooded my remarks, my circle
all agreed that it wuz safe to take whatever
we Good git from the enemy, aud we retired,
| feelin that whatever other localities mitt
do the Corners wuz safe. Wat an outrage
it is though, that the Ablishnists nomina
ted sich man for Vice President ez tC
make Grant perfectly safe from bein re
moved ez Linken wuz Eff he's elected he'll
serve out his time sure.
