| Spooks cares know more for partizan or
public or National matters than he cares
for paying his whisky bill. "Somebody'll Il
tend two things" he alweighs says. In
like most Of hour Dimmycratic reprlia-

cepts the situation," he SAYS, and .sdon t
| care copper whether the Dimmycratic
war debt is paid OR knot. The Abolition
war debt, even, for which the "poor man
OF to day is SO numerically taxed, don't
seer two bother him at awl. "Twon' t
come OF as Dimmy Anr," says he, ''for
we haven't as much property as the law
allows Us" [ acknowledge I alwei3 hs
feel a little down cast over this last re-
mark, for it reminds me Of the pore white
trash from which Jedediah Spooks de-
seended. It's of know use tryin' two
conceal family or political pedigree.
Such things agsH out. The pore man is
knot two blame for the failin-s of his
ants-sisters and it's consolin' two think
that most Of hour neighbors sprung from
just such ants-sisters Another cosola-
ton is, they're awl Dimmycrats. Mr.
Editor, forgive this DEPRESSION. [ couldn't
help it.
It was weeks bee-4 election. At
LEAST 2 dozen Dimmycratic veterans
wear assembled. had abandoned the
liberal idea of furnishin' awl the whisky
and the meetin' wer as dry as salt
mackerel. Two this day [ am knot
Abel two remember how things got start
ed. l have dim recollection of seein
the Kernel rise two his feet, but of the
length of time consumed in gcttin' mat
ters under weigh I have no conception.
Perhaps was little boozy. I had
previously forty fled myself with as much
needful as 1 deemed necessary for my
dignity. The Kernel was eloquent, and
gradually grew interested. AS list
ened two his burnin' words concernin' the
prosecutions hour glorious Dimmycratic
party had endured from the day inn which
the tyrant Lincoln mounted the Abo-
lition thrown until the present period Of
time; as he portrayed inn glowin' col
ors the hew-main acts Of Dimmy cratic
Generals inn there glorious struggle for
independence as he feelingly pictured
the mite y sorrows of the pore freed linen
who refused two bee comforted bee-caws
they wear slaves know longer; as he di-
lated upon the horrors Of the late Abo-
ltion crusade, which he stiled Ann un-
provoked as-salt upon the time honored
institutions of hour ants-sisters, and last
ly, as he concluded with Ann honest
fervcnt, pious, and truly Dimnycratic
malediction against the Black Republic |

py people with debt whose mighty mag
nitude know man could calculate-. |
Mr.. Editor, my breath faileth. The mag
nitude of that mans ideas is absolutely |
overwhelming. Let me cry! There ; |

Back arose. Stepping up two the ex-
hausted Kernel, he caught him inn
long embrace. "God bless yew for
bedrock Dimmy crat," he said feryently.
We've had refresbin' times two-night.
Well Seemore inn November" ",See-

Everybody laughed at this, and there
was SOW much confusion that | could
nothing more. The as
sembly dispersed and when I awoke two
found that it were morn
ing. My head ached, I was stiff with
cold, felt like Jedediah alweighs looks
the next day after spree. From him
[ learned that the Dimmycratic party of
Canada had become thoroughly organ
