THE TAIL OF THE DEMOCRATIC FLAG.
Two or three weeks ago the Jesup cor.
respondent Of the Dubuque Herald announ,
ced with a little flourish Of trumpets, that
"the Democratic ladies' Of this town have
evinced their patriotism by presenting the
Jesup Democratic Club with magnificent
campaign iag"-and added oracularly
" The ladies Of our town are coming to their
Senses"
1t turns out that there is quite tong tail
to this " magnificent" Democratic kite in the
shape OF subscription paper, which was
quietly circulated among the faithful to raise
the wind Tor this campaign flag. The un.
terrified who had to she'll out their green~
backs can, undoubtedly, fully appreciate the
sarkasm' Of the presentation by the Ia
dies.
METHODIST MINISTER'S NOT WANTED.
A prominent Democrat in this place,
hearing that certain Methodist minister
was going back on the Republican party,
remarked: :" hope TO the Lord he won't
change. We don't want any more Me,ho>
dist ministers on our side The Republican
party is welcome to them ALL" He can rest
easy. His party is perfectly safe from any
trouble Of that kind, for as Methodist minis
tiers are ever found among the pioneers in
religious effort, DO almost invariably will you
find them in the front rank Of the patriotic
and liberty loving waging uncompromising
war upon all forms Of dishonesty, treason
aud oppression, no mater whether they as
sumo the name Of secession or try to deceive
the public with the more rednctiye one OF
Democracy. have no doubt but that our
Democratic friends will be greatly troubled
first and last by Methodist ministers, but |
feel warranted in assuring them that the
trouble won't come in the shape Of applica-
lions for admttauce into the party. Ii will
be rather,
/" Turn ye, turn ye. for Why will ye die"
a disgraceiul political death with the Sey>
nour Rebel, liquidation party.
