HYPOCRISY,

or parties. The Democracy, IN the grand
two-horse act of supporting secession
and ''subduing the South" fell in the
ring and was trampled into the very saw
dust. In the strength of Tammany, how
ever, it regained its confidence William,
surnamed the Boss, was the great leader
of Tammany. From the taxpayers OF
New York he paid newspapers, corner
| doggeries, torchbearers, and the political
bummers who followed in the wake of his
| army. William was detected in grand
| larceny. With other eminent Democrats
implicated, he fed his country. Tam
many was in gloom, and Democracy
throughout the broad Union was abased.
1t rallied, denounced William, otherwise
known as Boss Tweed-not for his tLetts,
but for their discovery. Democracy lookup
high tariff Greeley, abolitionist Greeley,
nationalist Greeley. This nominee took the
precaution to announce of record that he
recanted nothing of these opinions The
Democ racy was in the frame of mind OF
that anti quated maiden, who, praying for
his WHO'D WHO'D! With her the Democ-
racy answered, anybody, good Lord
From the hegira of Tweed to the defeat
OF Greeley, the Democracy has sought
alone to preserve such an organization as
will do to sell out. In every State it
adopts the opinions of the supposed ma
iority, and displays. its banner inscribed
with the most popular phrases. Any two
OF these banners captured by the Reputli-
cans i'll the late conquest, if confronted
one with another, would be as opposite as
the standard of Mahommed and the Pope.
The Democrats of Pennsylvania, having
very small chances of getting hold of any
thing politically portable, determined to
denounce public theft The weight of
William, usually known to fame and the
police as Boss Tweed, was crushing. The
back-pay steal could not well be repeated
and SO the Pennsylvania Democracy ar
q
should illustrate their intense disgust with |
the detec ted The Democratic convention |
met. So little did its committee on Off |
