TIoNs, WITH INTENT TO CATCH THE

RESIDING IN MAsTEN's CORNERS.
MAsTEN's CORNERS, MHpnIoN HUNDERpl
IN THE STATE Nv DELAWARE, =
September 25, 1870.
The leading Democrats NV Masten's
Corners held a meeting last night in the
sittin room attached to Bill Sapp's, for the
purpose Nv takin sich ackshen ez might
be deemed necessary to swell the Demo
cratic majority Nv the Corners ez large ez
it Good be by square votin. We shel only
repeet ez much ez may be necessary to
save the State, and allow one or two hun
dred voters to 60 over into some close
counties in Pennsylvania.
Bill Sapp was appointed Chareman,
witch so e'ated him that he at wunst
drawd FIVE gallon keg Nv kind Nv
whiskey they make in Moo Jersey out NV
apples, wich he made free to all NV us, for
that evenin only. After an hour spent in
conversational drinkin, we proceeded to
the biznis witch he'd called us together,
Tommy Potts sed that he knowd a
Prooshen wich lived on the edge Nv the
village, and he wood therefore offer the
fOllowin resolution:
ResoIUed, That in the present struggle betwixt
Prooshen liberty and French Despotism, the SYM
pathies NV the Dimocrisy nv the Corners Is wholly
and entirely with Pr0oshy. %s
Bill Sapp knowd Nv an Englishman
near the Corners, and he offered this res
olooshen - -
ResoIued, That the Dimocrisy NV Mispiion
Hupdred declare their mistaken confidence in
England, and their undated admirashen Nv The
English karicter.
There alluz hez bin three Irishmen 1ivin
in the Corners, and the followin resoloo-
shen wuz therefore passed enthcosiasli-
cally:
ResoE0ed, That the Dimocrisy of Masten's Cor
ners do hereby express their sympathy with Ire
land, sufferin she alluz wuz under the graspin,
crooel, merciless and grlndin tyrang NV England,
IN whose buzzum there Is neither pity nor Just1s.
There is two Frenchmen runnin bar
BERN, clothes repairin, etc., in the village,
therefore the followin resolooshen wuz
passed: az
Resotved, That the Dmocrisy NV Masten's Cor
ners 90, and ever shell, sympathize with the strug
GIN French Republic, agin The tyrant Willyum NV
Prooshy, wich is assauliin France, is piercin the
Goddess Nv Liberty with bayonets.
After this wuz passed there wuz hitch
occurred in reference to it. One of the
Frenchmen. wuz Red Republican, and
tother wuz an Imperialist, apd it wuz
amendid 80 as to read that we sympa-
thized with the Emperor Napoleon in his
misforchoons, and with the French pee
pie in whatever they hev done or may
hereafter do, ,wich will capcher EN- both.
Ithamar Moggs reported that very
old Italyun, a retired organ. grinder, he'd
settled in the vicinity of the village, on
an aker or two he he'd bought, and res
olooshun wuz adopted sympathisin with
Italy, but ez he coodent speek English
we coodent assertane whether he sympa-
thized with the Pope or with Garribaldi,
or whether he didn't care a continental
for either Nv EN-, and so the resolooshun
he'd to be strangled.
We passed resolooshens sympathisin
with the Cuban patriots, and with the
Spanish people, and with such other na'
shenalities ez wGz represented, eZ neerlez
we Good find out, in the State. mol sur
At this pint Bill Sapp remarkt' that SO
far the resolooshens he'd the look Nv sym
pathisin with most everybody; to give 6
dash Nv variety woodent it be well enuf
to denounce some one ?" 5
Simon Wagner believed MIR. Sapp's sc
jestion, like his hkker, wuz eminently
good, and he wood seiest the Chinese ez
