MRS. BRITAIN-''THERE, JOHN; PUT IT AWAY.
HE SAYS HE IS SORRY"
The 1862 contributions were not up to the
strength of 1861. The capture of New Orleans
drew out cartoon showing Lincoln as little
Jack Horner" with the words
Big Lincoln Horner
Up in a corner
Thinking of Humble pie.
Found under his thumb
New Orleans plum
And said, what cute Yankee am r."
BY May 80, the views of Punch as to the
beauty OF preserving the Union had undergone
complete change. as the following will show
DIsUSIoN Is STRENGTH
As their best friend Punch advises
them to separate. At present the Union is
weakness" Apart from each other probably
the result may prove "disunion- is strength. &"
There is old Latin motto which they would
do wellto carry into practice: Divide ct i'm
pera."
In June cartoon represents the north and
south with knives ready to plunge into each
other and both falling into chasm marked
bankruptcy"
TREATMENT OF IRELAND.
Irishmen had no cause to be over pleased
| with the treatment Punch gave them during
| the war. This was one Of the illusions Punch
gave them in 81:
AN OFFER TO THE SOUTH.
| Recent scenes in Ireland compel Mr. Punch
| to make proposal to the Americans. Will
| they make a swop, and give us the niggers in
exchange for the Irish peasantry? Wen throw
in something valuable to mako the bargain a
| fair one. Come, Davis
Here is another sample of its views toward
| lrishmen published in August, 1864:
PADDY BEFORE RICHMOND.
The Irish boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks Of Grant you'll find him.
By Yankee bayonets goadod on.
With a frequent prod behind him.
| Land OF Crimps" said the youth ill-starred,
Let Bright and Golden praise thee,
And every fool these words regard;
Och! botheration SAFE theel"
| Poor Paddy fell on the southern plain,
Ere he fire had well got under;
| When he found himself on his legs again,
I'm kilt. he cried, ''by thunderr'
And said, ''Ye dirty blackguards, ye
Base sons Of bogus knavery,
Itsfghting you are that trade mayn't be free,
And not to abolish slavery"
The following on the same subject ia not
| much peter IN grammar and rhyme than it is
in sentiment. 1t is the beginning, however, of a
poem Of October, 1854.
Come along, ye sons of Erin, boys that scorns
| the name of slaves,
Let US fly to the land OF liberty, across the At
| lantic waves.
| There I'll earn ten dollars q day, pedad. II I
don't get drunk before,
| And awake and come to myself again at drill
| in q federal corps.
|. MCCLELLAN MOVES.
cartoon Of August 9, 1862, shows Lincoln
Offering arms to colored man, who is not re-
ceiving them with any great show Of enthusi-
asm, and the same issue parodies Bryaut's
poem in this way:
We're coming. Father Abraham, we're coming
all along,
But don't you think you're coming it your
/ self little strong?
Three hundred thousand might be called a
pretty tidy figure,
We've nearly sent you white enough. vhy
don't you take the Niger,
McClellan's moves ON Richmond in 1862 vera
| sstired In number of articles. This in a sam
pie from September Is, 1862:
IcLELLAN's MAnuR.
Run, soldiers, run, but not svsy.
Oh, no, my gallant mon!
You run to turn another day.
And charge the stronger then.
