THE POLITICAL ASPECT appears. from latest
advices to be E Pluribus Unum, but not Pro Bono
PUbcO. II the Republican party succeed ia
electlng the next president aud they will do 1t,
u they get votes enough-then we shall see the
glorious 2-legged bird called the American
eagle" flop his wings and fly to the uttermost
parts of the carthage, to those uninhabited
wilds where, in the words of the immortal bard
1.-The lion roareth and the whsng doodle m)urne tn
for her first born" Then shall we have plenty of
taxes to pay and plenty of soft water to wash
Then will be marrying and giving in MARRIAGE
If the internal revenue on the same Is paid in ad
vsnce-snd everybody shall be created free and
equal without regard to race, color, condition,
sex or religious scfuples-or drachms. But II on
the other hand, those miscreants called
Democrats" should succeed, then we shall
have our land-Our once prosperous, fair aud
happy land-deluged with milk and honey, and
we shall have those beautiful and picturesque
greenbacks changed TO that vile dross commonly
called gold and silver! We ask, shall sich things
be and overcome us like summers dream
shall the record of our late or years unpleas-
antness, in which only or million of men were
killed, be blOtted out, and the people of the
North and South live together in Concord (or any
other town Shall free and enlightened peo.
pie have their taxes taken away from them, and
chickens be allowed TO roost so high that the
free and enlightened citizens of African descend
cannot reach 'em az night? By Hevings, IL must
not be. II will never do, under republican
rule. Therefore, we bang our hangers on the
outer wall, as Bill Shakespeare, the Englishman,
says, and stick to the following resolutions:
ReS0lUed, That none but the trooy loil SD all
hold offices.
Resolred, That the Republicans only are the
trOoly lOf.
ResolUed, That we live for the country, and the
country lives for us.
Res0lUed, That we, "the elect" commonly
called Republicans, do as We please, without
regard to expense, cost, postage, damage or in
feTDal revenue.
ReSOiUed, That we are right and everybody
who differs from Us is wrong, so help as Benja
+. Butler.
Adjourned. Selah.

THERE WAS an elepement affair on the tdpts YES.
terdsy. in our best society, which was only pre-
vented IN cODsummation by the timely arrival of
the police. The whole matter was amicably ar.
ranged, and the parties took the steamer for New
York, where they will probably get married.
or remain single. Sieh is the uncertainty of hu.
man affairs.
FOR TIE information of our numerous passen.
