ApRopos Of the nomination Of Mr.

APRoPos Of the nomination of Mr..
Greeley by the Baltimore Convention,
we are reminded (as Mr.. Lincoln would
say Of little story, which runs in this
wise:
Wahoo had been duly converted to
Christianity by the labors Of a Catholic
minister, and having beeh baptized by
the name of John, was duly admitted into
the Church and instructed in its mode OF
worship. But one Friday, the reverend
Father coming suddenly on the convert,
found him making dinner of beef. qon-
trary to-the caEons Of the church. fHow
is this, John ?" said the Father. Don't
you know it is forbidden to eat flesh to-
day, unless you have dispensation to dc
SO ?'
"John " responded that it was not flesh
he was eating, but fish.
&C." Would you deceive me, John ?" said
the reverend Father, "would you per-
suade me to doubt the evidence OF my
own senses That is beef you have be-
fore YOU"
"Look here, Father" RESPONDED john,
"you baptize he one time. You tell me
my name no more Wahoo, my name
John. SO me baptize dat beef, Ne say
you no more beef, yet fish, roS, and me
eat you"
Maybe, since Horace has received g
Democratic baptism at Baltimore, his
nature is changed, and Democrats will
swallow him as readily as Wahoo did his
baptized flesh. Outsiders however, will
think him the same old Horace still.
