A Dimotyeratie Protest.
Its ruined we are wid taxashm,
The likes ov it nivir wuz known;
The load that is piled upon us
Wttd squash out the heart ov a stone,
Yez may talk about fraydum and j u stice,
The price of the Union, an' that,
But the price that is axed for six Unities
Is too high libr a good Dinnnykrat.
What's the wurrth ov the Union whin whisky
Is taxed wid a shillin' a quart?
Can a Government be one of fraydom
Whin you've got to payout money for't
To he sure, fur ayquil taxayshin
Its a Dimmykrat's duty to bawl,
But meself thinks its mity unpropur
To be Dimmykrats taxite at all.
Is the Government wtm of our choosin' ?
Don't illekshun returns ausir No ?
Is Congress that piles on the taxes,
Any more than a Radikal show ?
Heil we got our fair share ov ploondher?
An' the whole is all that we ax—
Thin why shod a Rad&le Congress
Upon Dimmykrats levy a tax?
"It's the war," is the Radikle ansir,
"les the war that brought on the expins
That's a fact that i'll not be disputin',
But what Radikle dares make praytinse
That Dimmykrats wanted the fitin'
Fail, the Radikles all of 'em know
Whin the South packed their trunks to thravel,
We tould thim, "God bless yez, an go."
Did Vallandigbiun vote to buy powdher
To kill Dimmykrat binds in the South?
Did Pendleton spake for coetsion,
Or Saymour wid war fill his mouth ?
Did they shware that by traitors an' rebels
'['be Union shud nivir be shplit,
Though it tuk iviry man an' ayche dollar
To maintain It ?—Divil a bit !
Whin our Southern hinds got mad in airnist
An' blazed away at the flag,
Did the Dimmykrat chiefs sate their soords thin
Au' rush to defend the mild rag?
Did we dluop our picks an' our shovils
Au' run to inlisht, iviry man,
tin to the Union an' fraydum
At gloory ? Divil a man
Twos tithe an' marchin' we did Cho,'
But not ow the liadikle kind
While in front the souljers wnifitin'
We wuz . dohe our tnin behind.
As flu• inarellin'l Set a dlnalt wheel a turnin
An' we'd thravil away double quick,
When a Dimmykrat pathrlot wuz dhraftid
lle'd for Canady shtrait cut his shtick.
inst our Southern Dimmykrat braythrin'
'Twuz Radikle souljers that fought,
An they killed Southern Dimmykrat voters
Yid Radilde powdber an' shot.
'Twuz Radikles did most the lithe
An' fired the ntoney away,
But now they put taxes on whisky
An' the Dimnaykrats have it to pay.
That the wuns what did all the mischief
Should pay foet, is sartinly sine;
An' if there'd have bin no fitin'
There'd have.bin no *Jar expinse
So it's titir .111 be Aber thinkin'
. .
What a good Payce Digunykrat, axes,
That the souljera that did all the fide'
Themselves shed pay all the taxes.

We have before assured our readers
that the Democratic hatred of the uegroes
was only vented against the male sex.
The softer set of the• colored persuasion
exercise a most seductive influence ,over
our susceptible Democratic friends. Of
the million mulattoes down South, every
One. of theni can boast a Democratic
daddy. .A distinguished . Democratic
orator and politician - of this city can be
seen almost 'Witty prowling.through the
obscure, streets and lanes of our city on
the trail' of same colored sister. This is
ft well known-fact, as.every polite officer
of this city can testify. A few weeks
since a new horn colored infant was found
floating in the canal feeder near Titus
ville, tins county. The mother was arrest
ed and.she swore her misfortune on the
President of a Democratic Club in that
vicinity. One evening last week a negro
ball was held in Taylor Hall, attended by
the first colored families in this city.
Female Africa was there, with pouting
lips that opened upon gates of Ivory.—
Dusky 'CleoPatras, warranted_ all wool,
sailed gracefully through the dizzy waltz,
or languished lovingly upon the arms of
enamored swains. "White Boys in Blue '

were among the spectators. Chief of
these was the President of that gallant
club. We must be Frank, and tell the
whole story. The heart of the Presi
dent of the White Boys in Blue" was
touched by the charms of these nigger
damsels. As a Democrat, he was bound
to hate all he niggers, but as a man the
colored sister had claims upon his chiv
alrous nature. *
Just as the City Hall clock was upon
the stroke of twelve, unsteady steps were
heard descending into the saloon of our
excellent friend, Captain Means, under
the post-office. Suddenly emerging into
the gasli;.,lht was seen the burly form of
the President of the " White Boys in
Blue," escorting four of the blackest
negro wenches that ever darkened a col
ored ball room! Up to the bar they
came, the " White Boy in Blue" forming
the centre, with two wenches for his kit
and right wings. It was a splendid sight
to the military eye !
"-riven?, worth len years 4)f peaceful life,
One glance of their a may !"
Keeping step to the music of the band
up stairs, they charged the bar. Our
colored troops fought bravely. Captain
Means brought his Bourbon battery to
bear, but the " White Boy in Blue," as
sisted by his colored shemale recruits
captured it at a single dash ! The con
tents of the battery was emptied into
tumblers—the White Boy in Blue "
touched glasses with the "Black Girls in
Wool," and the battle was over.
Then came the question of "reconstruc
tion" on the paying basis. Ile searched
every pocket, but could find but one bill.
That was a tailor bill of Jo Rice for an
unpaid suit of clothes ! Captain Means
kept no slate for dead beats. Here was
a dilemma for a brave " White Boy in
Blue" to be in! But great men are
equal to great emergencies. The President
of the club of "White Boys in Blue"
turned to the blackest of his escort, and
promptly solicited the loan of two dol
lars. The money was produced from the
pocket of her petticoat, and the whole
party returned to the ball room rejoicing.
Dear reader, this is no fancy sketch,
but an actual fact, as a dozen Democratic
spectators can testify if necessary. Let
the " White Boys in Blue" take courage.

" THE Press" says : The colored peo

shape of a handsome school-house. No
tribute could have been more appropriate
nor more grateful to the venerable states

behalf of the common-school system of
Pennsylvania to be the crown of his fife.
