A ACHAPTER ON POLITICS.

mud, that the etlict went forth Tor the people of the nation to gather themselves together and select law makers who should sit ln the high council at Washington City.
 And there ctme up out of the priviucc nf Nevada. in the land oi Arkansas, over which Simon the Pure was Governor, Il high priest from among the Illttites. and he sought to occupy q seat in the coun' cils of the land yea, in the high and mighty councils sought he Il seat.
 Now, Larkin. the Hittite. was q very peculiar man. There was none like him in all the country round about Nevada, nor m the land of Arkansas.
 Then also came forth giant from the province of Nevada, whose name spread terror anoDgt the Hit ties. aud also the Greenbackers that also nbounded in the land and were followers of Larkin the Hit ite, who led the people of the prov. ince of Nevada forth to meet the Hitti,es; yea, ver;ly, even Tom C. McRae. whom all the people de, lighted to honor, girded himself and went forth to meet the Hittltcs on the plains of the Third District in the land of Arkansas.
 Now also was there another sect of people in the land who were Rc- pubIirans and great sinners: yea, verify, so great sinners were they that the people rose with one ac' cord and removed them from their position as rulers in the land. and cast them out. They sought to de- stroy the followers of Tom McRae and the Hittites.
 And one Elmore, whose surname was Mitchell, and wio was chief priest in the courts of the country round about the city of Texarkana, in the province of Miller, called to. gether his fellows, and sent forth one John C. Ray to engage in the battle.
 Now. Elmore was a wiley man and exceedingly ambitious, and was a new convert in the sect called Republicans, and it came to pass that the Republicans in the prov ince of Hampstead would not fol low the Ray sent forth by Prince Elmore. They revOlted and became like sheep without a shepherd.
 And it came to pass that a fierce battle was fought in which the High Priest, Larkin the Hittite, went out among the people, in the country round about the province of Nevada. and did preach that he was laborer: yea, verily, he ''la- boredr very hard with his mouth.
 Then McRae, the Prince of the tribe called Democrats, girded him. self and went forth 10 meet the Hittite, and his followers were made to rejoice as victory after victory was won by the Prince.
 And it came to pass in the elev' enth month, on the second day thereof, that the people in all the country round about the province of Nevada, in the country known as the Third District, both saint and sinner did meet at their public places, and with little slips of pa. per did deal the High Priest Hit d fearful blow, and did say as with one voice that no Hittite should occupy a seat in the high councils of the Nation. Yea, even the prov ince of Nevada, from whence the High Priest came, would have none of him.
 And when the result was made known. behold, Garland, the chiel among the tribe known as Green packers, and Ansley, his lieuten ant, whose abode was in the prov, ince of Nevada. waXed wrOth, and they rent their neither garments and cried out, "woe is us. the Dem ocrats have defeated our Hittite The glory of our house has depart. ed we must fall into the arms OI the Republicans for refuge, even as our beloved Elmore has already done.'
 Even Ray. the republican was much more thought Ofby the peO. pie of the lard. the people of the provinces of Hampstead and La. fayettc following after him; but he also fell with Larkin the Hittite.
 And behold there was great la mentation among the Httites, and they retired in disgust to their tents: yea. even to the uttermoSl recesses of their tents retired they.
 Now this chapter is written that the generations 10 come may know that it is folly to attempt to override true principles with any hobby. Centre Point Tocsin, Nov 18th.
