A CANDIDATE AND HIS SUPPORT.
ERS, tsta1


y
notices for campaign banners, in the
form of short and pithy sayings by
its own candidate for President,
Horace Greeley. Here is one that
will do to ornament the front of the
Democratic wigwams
Take all the haunts of debauchery
in the land, and you will find nine
tenths of their master.spirits active
partisans of that same Democracy"
"May it be written on my
grave that never was it's follower
and lived and died nothingits debtor"
Horace Greeley.
For ornamenting the front of the
speakers stands at Democratic mass
meetings, the following is very appro.
PIRATE;
"The essential articles Of tho DEM
ocratic creed are: Love rum and
hate niggers.' The less one learns
and knows, tho more Ger ain he is to
vote the regular ticket from A to
lizard. Horace Greeley,
For an illumination, at a Democrat.
ic evening meeting the following has
the great merit OF being short, point
ed, and true:
off there were not newspaper ncr
common school in the country the
Democratic party would be far
stronger than it is, Horace Greeley.
The following for rural districts,
especially those districts whore Vigil
lance Committees arc necessary to
enable farmers to preserve their
stock, will prove taking and popu-
lar legend:
every Democrat is not a horse
thief but every horse thief is Dem.
ocrat-Horace Greeley
For Democratic professions in
cities, fine effect can be produced by
judiciousy distributing the following
over delegations from appropriate
wards and streets:
"Every one who chooses to live by
pugiism, or gambling. or harlotry,
with nearly every keeper of a tip
ping house, politically Democrat"
Horace Greeley.
I'VE thereupon asked our cotem
porary to state frankly whether the
pugiIists, blacklegs, thieves, keepers
OF dens of prostitution, etc, were not
Horace Greeley.
"To smoke is a Democratic virtue
to chew is that virtue intensified to
drink rum is that virtue in the super.
lative. Horace Greeley.
"a purely selfish interest attaches
the lewd, ruffanly, criminal and dan
gerous classes to the Democratic
party. Horace Greeley. /.
Nothing finer than the following as
motto for Democratic State, county,
and local conventions, has ever been
produced. 1t has all the merits OF
brevity, truth, innocent candor, and
that direct simplicity which cannot
fail to touch the popular heart
"The brain, the heart, the soul Of
the present Democratic party is the
rebel element at the South, with itf
Northern allies and syripathizers.
1t is rebel at the core to-day. 1t
would come into power with the hate,
the chagrin, the wrath, the NORTH
cation of ten bitter years to impel
and guide its steps. WHAT
ever chastisement may bo deserved
by our national sins we must hope
this disgrace and humiliation will be
spared MS. Horace Greeley.
Furthermore, there are notices TO
be gathered from Greeley's sayings
suitable for every section of this
country. For the Southern Demo-
Gratis the following will be an inspir-
ing legend, to be carried at the head
of their possession by co'ored flag
bearer
"All do know that there are sew
eraI hundred thousand mulattoes in
in this country and we presume that
no one has any very serious doubt
that the fathers Of at least nine-tenths
of them are white Democrats, and
we are sure that those Democrats, if
they will have yellow children, might
better than otherwise treat the laud-
able pattern of that eminent Demo-
crat, Vice President Richard M.
Johnson. Horace Greeley.
For professions composed of ex-
confederate soldiers, the following
would undoubtedly create q popular
furore, if painted on banner borne
by one-legged, or one-armed soldiers,
in gray butternut uniform:
"When the rebelious traitors are
overwhelmed 10 the field, and scatter
ed like leaves before an angry wind
it must not be TO return TO peaceful
and conteuted homes. They must
find poverty at their fresides, and SEE
privation in the anxious eyes of moth
ers and rage of children. "-Horac'
Greeley.
We might, if we choose, select fol
Democrats notices of this sort BY
the hundred, all written by tbei
candidate for President; but tn
above will do for one list.
