In the !aniino cratic capital, and succeeded, while where Democracy wuz loaded down with Johnsonism they failed, satisfied him that the President wuz ainkubus. lie sod this with all doo respeek for the otfis. Mr, Morrissey further re marked, that he hed also personal rea sons for makin this request, lie com menced in a humble position, and hed tilled the public eye long enouff to sat | isty his modist ambishen —he hed wal loped Sullivan and Heenan —he hed owned the fastest horse and won more money at taro than any man jn Amer ika. llis ambishen wuz satisfied so tiir ez lie wuz eoncerned, hut lie hop ed to leave behind him for his infant son, (wich wuz only twelve years uv age and which hed a development uv intelleck and muscle remarkable for one so tender, hevin already walloped every boy in the skool to which he wuz goin.i he desired to leave that son a honorable name It hed been given out ho wuz a supporter uv the in dividooal who okerpied the Presiden shel offis, and it wuz injoorin him. Ho wished that stigina removed—a regard for his reputation forced him to insist upon it. And this epistle was dooly signed, his JOHN X MOIiKISEY, M. C. mark. There wuz silenco in the Cabinet. This last stroke intensified the gloom wich hed settled onto the Government, and ez I turned my tear bedewed eyes I saw the great drops coursiu down the cheeks uv every one present. Mr. Seward retired without saying any thing about ninety days, arid one by one they all departed. It wuz a solemn time. Thero wuz other letters yet to read, but no one hod the heart to open 'em. I inado a move in that direckshun, but Androo Vol. LVI. No. 48. prevented ine. ' I'm sick," murmured he in a husky voice, wich showed his hurt win-, peere d-' Help mo to hod.'

A flush uv satisfaction passed over his nose, hut if subsided in an instant. 'Troo,' gasped he, 'its ourri now, hut before the next election a couple uv them Massuchoosisls will buy the cuHsid State and re.people it too soot 'em,' and he gave a eonvul i sivo gasp anil sank into a troubled i slumber i It wuz atcchin occashun. I PET HO I,E UMV. NAS BY, P. M., (wich is Postmaster.) 4 of Di iinkard^ Tho most foolish predicament a man can get into is to got drunk. Tn drunk enness every man shows his strongest side, and most ardent passion. There are six kjnds of drunkards, and if you will go into a drinking place where there are a dozen men under the influ ence ol liquor you will be sure to find these six different characters, repre senting different animals. Ihe first is ape-drunk He leaps, and sings, and yells, and dances, mak ing all sorts of grimaces and cutting up all sorts ol '• monkey shines" to ex cite the laughter of his follows! Ob, terribly silly is the drunken clown. Ihe second is tiger-drunk. He breaks the bottles, breaks the chairs, breaks the heads of fellow caroueers, and is full of blood and thunder. His eyes are fired with vengeance, and his soul raves with murderous fury. Of this sort are those who abuse their families. Ibe third is bog drunk. He rolls in the dirt on tho floor, slobbers and grunts, and going into the street makes bis lied in the first ditch or filthy cor ner he may happen to fall into. Hois heavy, lumpish and sleepy, and cries in a grunting way for a little more drink. The fourth is puppy drunk. He will weep lor kindness, and whine bis love and bug you in bis arms, and kiss you with bis slobbery lips and proclaim how much he loves you. You are the best man be ever saw, and lie will lay down his money or his life for you. Ihe filth is owl-drunk. He is wise in his own conceit. No man must dif fer with him for his word is law. He is true in politics, and all matter must be taken as authority. His arm is the strongest, his voice the sweetest, his horse the fleetest, his turnips the larg est, his town the finest of ull in tho room or land. The sixth and last animal of our me nagerie is the fox-drunk man. lie is crafty, ready to trade horses and cheat you if he can. Koen to strike a bar gain. leering around with low cunning, peeping through cracks, listening un der the eaves, watching for some sus picious tiling, sly as a fox, sneaking as a wolf, he is the meanest drunkard of them all. ftay* Some philosopher advises the girls not to marry blacksmiths, beeauso they all have vices. KsuTbe Buffalo Courier, Democrat ic organ in Western New York, says: " Let our colored b. ethren possess their souls in patience. The Democratic party will see that they have their rights " The New Lisbon (Ohio) Buck eye State says: "A newly married couple, in bridal costume, recently stopped in this place to spend a few days of the honeymoon. The groom borrowed SSO of an accommodating gentleman, and then mysteriously dis appeared. The bride wept and tore her hair at thus being left without utonoy, and without friends, and the sympathizing inhabitants of our town contri utol liberally for her relief, about one hundred dollars being dona ted She then di.-appearcd, and it has since transpired that the promising couple had played the same game in several other towns in the State. DISSOLI'TIO*.— The partnership under the firm of'K. J. Jirisbin e continued by 8. J Brisbin, who respectfully invites the public to call and examinca tine stock of New Goods, selected with care.
