true We hev kerr:ed . part NV the Stat.
tikkit in Moo York, and It is likewis,
troo that we hev bust:d the enemy il

Moo York we mite ez well throw up the
sponge.
From the fur East Gums q gleem u,
sunshine. The best luck that hez oc
Cured to us is the defeat NV Butler in
MASSACHUSETTS,. It was well enuf t.
elect him wunst, in order to demoralize
the Republican party, but to hev dun il
twice wood hev demoralized us. A dose
NV calomel is all well enuff to stir up the
system, and perdoose internal convul.
shuns and SIGH, to git rid Nv suth'n
wuss. but to keep taIin' doses of cal.
Omel makes the remedy wuss nor the
disease. It is all well enuff to make the
Republicans sick with Butler, but when
it comes to swallerin' him ourselves,
and maxim as sick, that is another
thing. We are alluz willin' to see an.
other man take medisine, but when the
puke is commended to Our own lips it
amt so pleasant. No man kin ever
purge another man by takin' physic
hisself. 700 can't turn another mans
stummick by takin' an emetic yerself.
Butler wuzn't half SO much a terrier to
the Republicans ez he wuz to us. 1t is
letter for him to bust us in Massey
chOOsits than it wood hev ben TO bust
us in the hull kentry. We don't count
on MASSACHUSETTS, anyhow, and we can't
afford to swaller the wust man i'm it for
the sake NV a chance Nv keepin' the
State out Nv the hands NV. the Repub-
Gkins. Butler kin only kerry with him
them ez is like him, and that's too
heavy a load. 1t wood affect us too
much in other States. One skunk
kivers much territory.
1t is well that Butler is lad to his
e'ernel rest, or rather, ez he can't be
killed, it is well that We are rid NV him.
He will slide Over into the Republican
party and make it uncomfortable for
them. He is chiefly q terror to his
fir ends and q comfort to his enemies.
Like akickin. muskit, he is dangerous
only to the man at the breech.
But after all the prospeck is encur-
ridgin. Things are workin to our n
tire sat;sfackshen. l don't know how it
is, but suthh mean enuff for us alluz
turns up jst when we want it. 1t is
trOO that We generally manage to fool
it away at the wrong tine, but Their is
suthin in the world that brings us out.

much for his W good. On my way to

and passed of into a siumber comforta-

hev no good clOze to soil by contact
with mud, and am never afraid NV

free likker is, that eff all men wuz like
me thieves wood be compelled to go to
work fur a Twin. Their wood be no.
but brewers and 'sloon keepers to
rob and they Good afford to set up mites
shot guns. But th's is a depression.
