WnrE RIyER JVSoHoS, April 10, 10,
Ma, RDIIoR 10 evident 10 every
candid mind that our republican brothers
are having q spell Of the cramps, OF They
never would gTOan aud take on Ia tie
manner they do ifthey had not some fatal
disease, A good remedy for the poor
fellows, il little pure democracy, taken
in q little molasses aud waler=say q tea
spoonful three times q day, II the above
prescription does mol eject q cure IN
four and twenty hours then God be with
them, for their days are numbered, They
have hal their owa way 10 long IN regard
TO State matters, they cannot bear the
check rein, The moment tho check u
drawn they 20 into 'eonyulslons aud cry
out democracy and revolution, The mean
Ing of this CRY Is this II We cannot do a.
We please we will stigmallle the demo-
Gratis reyolutiOnlsts and traitors, Wen,
Mr., Editor, We are in iayOr Of revolutions
icing our cOuntryl not by standing ar
niles, In the tine Of peace, but by the
power Of free ballot, Oh no. they want
fow bayoncts around tho ballot box
just enough 10 keep tho pesky democrats
from running away with the box and all
Of the votes, Mr.. Thomas Hale, editor
Of the Republican 0bIerer told me fow
days since, that he liked an honest demo-
crat, lie cannot well help H. for you
know, Mr., Editor, that an honest demo-
crat IL the noblcst word Of God l like
honest republicans but they are like an
gels yisits--few and far between There
are some republicans amongu' who strive
10 DO true 10 thelI country aud their God
Such men | call honest, aud they are u
blessing TO their country, The republican
party has held the rcins OF government 30
long that they have become rotten TO the
very core, aud never was our country In
such q deplorable condition m II II to-day
under republican rule. We need q change
and We must have II before our country
can again become prosperous aud happy
The people have become 80 disguised
with those who guide the ship OF state
that they put no confidence In their pom
iscs, but cry out In angulshi u charge,
give Us u change A change we should
have had at the present time II the repub-
leans, with bayonets, had not stolen the
presidency which rlghtfully belonged to
the democrats. Let US keep 1t before the
people, that the presidency was stolen
from Samuel j. Tiidcn by the black re-
publIcans, assisted by the standing army.
We know, Mr., Editor, that the rcpnbll-
cans would do anything TO wipe from the
cscutchcon of our country this dark and
damnng stain, But they cannot do IT,
As well might they try to blot the sun out
Of existence or cause the mountains to
fall nj their command. II Is strange, yea,
II Is passing strange, how a.party who
claims TO be possessed Of so much virtue
and morality, can become SO rotten ana
corrupt as the republican party has.
Their party Is very consistent party.
Hear the poor fellows they say II the
wicked democrats in congress do not pass
laws to please them, we will compel our
stolen president to veto them, Well do
they know that this is their dying strug-
gle. They die hard, but their last pang
will soon be over, and the mourncrs will
be going about the streetr; and 1t will be
n blessing to our country when that day
of jubilee comes. They say that there Is
but one thing that can save them; that Is,
to put "Useless Grant" up for the presi-
dency would advise them to put In
nomination Uncle Simon and the widow
Oliver II this will not sage them, then
good bye; God cannot help them.
