viii ruin the country because he
will be no longer allowed to pay
$4,000 at time TO contractors
who not only understand addition,
division, and silence. but know
ho@'to give timely fifths to Secreta-
rvs friend.
Baez is confident that Grcelcy's
election will ruin the country he
cause it will explode his San Domin-
go scheme and wash the greasy fob
ont OF existence, through the failure
of a United States fleet to keep Baez
in power. Gen. Bahcock takes
pretty much the same view OF the
situation.
Gen. b. +. Butler is certain that
Grseley's election will ruin the
country because the new President
will surrC und himself with dishon
est advises and disreputable charac-
ters, and more especially because
he will recall from Egypt, provided
he ventures to return thither. his
nephew, Geo. III, Butler, that shin
ing ornament Of the consular ser
vice.
Gen. Dent, brether-in-law of the
President is perfectly sure that
Greeley's election will ruin the
country because he viii DO Longer
be chief door keeper of the White
House, the lucrative pickings and
stealings whereof are congenial to
the lofty nature Of this high func-
tiOnary.. ss- -
Brother in law Casey is panied to
believe that Greeley's election will
ruin the country because ne feels
sure the Chappaqua Farmer will
not have to search long for reasons
for turning him ont of the Collector
ship of New Orleans, position in
which he is now kept in defiance f
the protest Of pretty nearly all the
honest men of Louisiana
Brother-in-law Cramer proclaiins
from over the sea that Greeley's
elestion will ruin his truly beloved
country End compel him to pack
his trunk and return TO his native
land and no longer draw his rations
froT the national treasury for dis
gracing American diplomacy, about
which he. knows as much as any
other ass who feeds at his Masters
crib. faHE
The Patriarch himself, good old
Jesse, lifts up his aged voice and
weeps at the ruin which will come
upon this country If Greeley is elec
ted, for he knows that the Coving-
ton Post Office will suddenly slip
from his grasp, and the price OF
gauger5hips fearfully decline in the
Cincinnati market.
Col. Leet is agitated in view Of
the general ruin which will prevail
throughout the country on the elec-
ton Of Greeley because he feels
quite confident that very soon there
after there will come n specific order
from Washington requiring him to
give up the general order business
in New York.
The army Of deputy marshalls, su
pervisors of elections, and other
Southern tipstaffs of the Admins
aration, see naught but ruin to the
country in the election of Greeley
because their power to charge ex-
horbitant fees for imprisoning with
out warrant and knocking on the
head without provocation anti.
Grant voters in the south, under
color of Kuklux and Enforcement
laws, will soon come to an end.
The carpet-bag thieves who have
stolen from the South about two
hundred million dollars and plunged
the reconstructed States into bank
ruptcy think Greeley's election will
ruin the country because their pow
er to plunder an oppressed people
will thencefoTth cease, and the land
they have scathed know them no
more. F.' fsfs
MT. W. II. Kemble, a member of
the Grant National Committee, of
which Governor Z. d. Morgan is
Chairman, is amazed that everyone
does not concur with his opinion
that it would ruin the country to
elect a President who would feel dis
graced by receiving the support OF
a man who could write the following
letter:
"TREAsURY DEPARTMENT OF PA.l
HARRIsBURGH, March, 1861
"My Dear Titan: Allow me TO
introduce to sou my particular
friend, Mr.. George o Evans. He
has a claim of some magnitude that
he wishes You to help him in. Put
him through as you world me. liz
understands addition, division, and
silence. Yours, w. n. KEMBLE.
To Titan J. Cofey, EsqF., Wash
ingtOn, d. c."
But this will do for a sample of
the men who are predicting the ruin |
ofthe country if the honest hearted |
clear-headed, farmer-sage OF Chap
paqua is. elected to the Presidency. /
