WHEREAS, The millennium has dawn
ed, and the wolf is lying down with the
lamb, and the lion is eating straw like an
and the abolitioEists and secessionists
march under the same flag, and the radi-
Gals and rebels walk arm in arm, and the
free-traders and protectionists are cheek
by iowl, and the Irish and negroes eat out
oc the same dish, and Horace Greeley and
jeff Davis sleep in the same bed, and
the sucking child is playing on the hole
of the asp, and women, vote and ride
a straddle, and everything is lovely and
the goose hangs high therefore,
RESOLVED, LIST, That inasmuch as the
time has come for all men to eat dirt and
turn somersets, and no man thinks what
he says or believes what he thinks, we
unanimously recognize the absolute equal
;ty of men, including negroes, women and
Chinese /; that We believe a mules ears
are as short as a horses and that the leo
pard can change his spots, and that the
negro is a man and a brother, and hay-
ing always favored his admission to the
ballot-box we now welcome him to the
social circle, having something of an idea
that all the world was born of a monkey,
that things are not what they used to be,
and that there is a great deal of upside
downed-ness and downside-upward-ness,
and a bewildering mixed-uP-atiyeness
generally.
Resolred Cd, That being in great doubt
whether the rebellion failed or succeeded.
and not being certain whether Grant or
Lee surrendered at Appomattox, and be-
ing of opinion that the South was either
right or wrong, and the North vas either
wrong or right, and that Deither was Ell
Their, to hurt, we are unanimously In favor
of letting by-gones be ~by-gones, or bury
ing the Stars and Stripes in the same
grave With the Stars and Bars. of mixing
three parts Of Dixie with two of cyan
kee Doodle" and of marrying the Union
to the rebel buzzard.
Resolced Sd, That being a liberal party,
we favor liberality in all things, in poll
tics and in religion, in virtue and in tenn
perance, giving perfect freedom to all,
to men. and freedom to women
criticising no one's opinions and no ones
p%ardoning an occasional clean
shirt and wasLed face neither ayerring
that there is a heaven nor yet denying
that there is hell holding the Almighty
in proper respect at the same time not for
u old friend Satan believing
that nothing is up or down butthat every
thing is standing or sideways. and in all
things holding yery,fast with one hand but
altogether letting go with,the other.
Resolved 4th, That the Constitution as
It is is better than the Constitution as it
was that the Bible is very we'll in its
place, but the Book of Mormons is newer
the writings of Confucius older, and
every man is master of his own conscience
and conduct and has a right to make q.
God to suit himself, that free whisky
and universal salvation make earth ? par
adise and heaven a certainty but that,
nevertheless, all things are turned round
and the times are out of joint. every
straight road is crooked, the earth turns
backward on its axis, men walk zigzag and
their brains arc t~opsy-turvy, the world is
all bewitched, and a woman is the COM
ing man..
Resolced 18th, That inasmuch as Judas
[~scariot. though once a wicked man, af-
terwardsAbecome -anapostle, and inasmuch
rs Benedict Arnold shed blood in defence
Of American liberty, and inasmuch as
JEFF. Davis was not nominated, we are
in favor of Horace Greeley, be-
as we do that the Democracy is
not dead, but sleepeth, and that all roads
rom Greeley 60 to Grant that Greeley
an original abolitionists and an abo-
secessionist ; that the abolitionist
md ssecessionists always worked to the
same end and their present combination
only 2 renewal of past cooperation.
ind wonderful will it be In the eyes of
Ill men when the arch enemy s!of the
becomes their chief captain /;
when the prince of protection becomes
,he king of free-trade; when the cham-
oion of temperance bears the banner
IF tthe bar-rooms business, and Satan
eads the hosts of heaven, then truly
hall the last be first, for great is the
mysteries of G~reeleyites.
