"Tis done-but yesterday "candidate,"
And arm'd with candidates to strive
And now thou art a numberless thing;
So abject--yet alivei
Is this the man shat road the goats,n
And "hugged the coon for Republican yotes?"
And can he thus survivei
Since he mscall'd 'their guiding star,
Nor man fiend hath fallen so far.
III minded man! snow view" your kind
Who how'd so low the knee,
By gazing on myself grown blind,
"Your followers could not' see.
with might unquestio'd-power, to save
Thine only gift hath been the grave,
To those that worshipp'd thee;
Nor till thy fall could mortals guess
Ambit.on's less than littleness
Thanks for "his'' lesson--it will teach
To aiter-warriors more
Than high Philosophy preach,
And vainly preached before,
That spell upon the minds of men
Breaks never to unite again,
That led them TO adore
Those Pagod things of sabre sway,
With fronts OF brass. and feet of clay"
Oh! That Byron was here. A Grin
plays over my face this evening like
young goats over stable roof and pene-
trates my whole anatomy. l drink in the
election returns with as great relish as
thirsty man swalloweth hot whisky
punch, as a goslin swimmeth with de-
light in mud puddle, so swim in a sea
of glory. Visions of ecstatic raptures,
brighter than the hues of a humming
birds pinions visited me in my slumbers
last night. reached out to grasp and
woke to hear the cries for John Hardin,
resounding from hill TO hill, nothing
definite having been heard from Brock
enridge and Hancock, on account Of
wires being down. entered road cart
this morning (the Sth) and drove down
to the Leavenworth road. From Ed.
Loves to Brandenburg looked sin every
nook and corner" for "Populists" but,
alas, a bunch Of Grape here and there
told too plainly that funeral was the
result of last nights virgils.
All! You "hugged the coon" and
fawned on the Republicans that thrift
might follow fawning and behold the re-
suits. You sold your birthright for a
mess of pottage and how does it act on
your liver? Wise men must be awful
scarce in Meade county that they have
to court favor of the common enemy, and
then have their barracks torn down !;
their idols broken by the the battering-
Of Nfonla - Tf Iohon...,anO g
indication of WISDOM" you ought to be
as wise as Solomon by this time; and be
able to repulse an enemy with the COM
bned force of the Republicans and your
hosts that "abound in every nook and
corner of Meade county, all |" "You
scratch my back and I'll scratch yours"
was on the bill of fare, and partaken of
with relish, but it didn't leave the
right kind OF seasoning in it.
Some of the readers of the News will
ask, why this hilarity? I will tell you.
Pm Democrat ''died in the WOOL" and
am proud to know that the flowers Of
Democracy" still bloom in old Meade, to
shed its sweet fragrance over the tomb Of
Third partyism. IT'S true that "some"
OF our best friends have wandered off in
to bad company, but we may yet reclaim
them. Then have been accused Of
being paid by Gen. Gross and John
Hardin to work for them, the rest you
know.
"oh, landlord fill the flowing bowl
Until II does run over,
For tonight wen merry, merry he,
For tonight we'll merry, merry be,
And tomorrow we'l get sober"
