who hez been friteful Ablishnist, who,
efhe runs, will, for obvious reasons,
make as swallcr at the beginnin a por-
ton NV his heresies, may be our candi-
date Say nothin, Deekin, that yoo1
hev to take back"
Feelin that rite here was a splendid
chance for an improvin discourse on the
nacher, objicks and aims Nv Democrisy,
/ opened out onto EN-. .T5
"Dimocrisy," remarkt, sis distin-
guisied cheehy for its elasticity in
adapted means to ends. One wood
suppose that Post Offs is its cheef end.
In one sense It is. Dimocrisy is willin
to sacrifice anything which it hez for
Post Otis. 1t might raise Deekin Po-
grams ire TO seiest the nominashen
NV Hancock, on akkount NV his insistin
on payin off the Nashnel debt, or
Chase, who hez been in his day suspect
ed NV beiD tainted with Abolishnism.
But my brethring let it be remembered
that SncceBs is the main objick. Sue
cess is what Bascom wants, that ], beiu
continyood in offs, may hev the means
TO pay for the likker ! consoon, and
avoid the necessity nv bein continyoo-
ally rekested to chalk it down, which
practis he esteems disgustin, and one
which greatly increases bis labors.
Captain McPelter wants success that
he may continyoo TO hev Assessors,
Collectors and Reyenoo officers with
which he can divide the profits NV the
$2 tax on the whisky he makes, and
Deekin Pogram wants success that he
may hey his niggers agin, or at least
that he may hey the privilege NV hirin
EN- for S14 per month, deductin 2j
cents per day for each days absence,
without no Burow officer or military
satrap hanging about to moIest or make
afraid. Success is the main pint, and ef
Hancock is the way, walk ye in it-ef
Chase or Seymour is the way, walk ye
ditto, for with each NV these men all
these things we'll hev. When they
come to US they leeye their former
selves behind.
But metbifks hear one say, Han
Icock is ia soljer, Seymour a anti-repudi-
ator, and Chase a Ablishnist! Wat Nv
that! They may be what they like
when they 90 INTO oflis-assosiasheu
with us fetches them sooner or later.
Kin yoo teteh pitch and not be defled?
Dooitte, Cowan and Dixon wuz Alb
lishnists When they split from Alb
lishnism-that mint they fell into our
embraces-they became as satisfactory
Dimocrats ez | Good wish. The road
down is an easy one to travel. It's
easier to slidethan to climb, witch is the
reason why so many more are damned
than saved.
! Dimocrisy, like Bascom' newlikker,
holds a man when it gifts him. John
son wuz a good enuff Ablishnist till be
called onto us for help, and then hewuz
lost. Let Chase stay with US week
and he'd forgit all his old ideas, yoo bet.
I Shood you poke that silver pitcher at
him the niggers give him at Cincinnati
for defending a fugitive, he'd swear
like Peter he never saw it-only differ
in from Peter in that he'd stick to it.
And there is no goin back for the
principal ones. Ther remorse kind O.
drives EN- deeper and deeper, till they
finally are worse than ez tho they or
iginally wuz NV US. Let us, my breth-
rim, never reject any help we kin git.
Let it come in any shape and from any
source, it'll finally assimilate to us and
be uvus Remember Johnson, Cowan,
Dooitte and Dixon swore, when they
started at Philadelphia, that they never
Good 90 into the ranks nv the Dino
crisy in year they wuz maxim speechs
for us in Connecticut.
Ez conclooded my remarks, my cir
Gle all agreed that it wuz safe to take
whatever we Good git from theenemy,
and we retired, l feelin that whatever
other localities mite do the Corners wuz
safe. Wat an outrage it is, though,
that the Ablisfnists nominated sich a
man for Vice President ezto make Grant
perfectly safe from bein removed ez
Linken wuz. Eff he's elected he'll
serve out his time sure. .f.-y
PErRoLEuM V. Massey, PM.
(Which is Postmaster.)
