Tlie Frrparetmnt of the Democracy for the jrhll Campaign Mr. Naxby Atsi'sls in Arranging the Detail. Harp vv Erin S'loon, Sixth Ward, ) New York, July 80, 1370. j The time heven arrived to begin prcpara shens for tho fall cimpane, preparashenn for the fall enmpane vruz actually began. The General Committee for the Yoonited States met three weeks ago in Noo York, and de cided upon the tactics to be employed to make certio the carryin uv the nert Con gress by the Dimocrisy, Not bein a mem ber uv tho Committee, I wuzn't prpsent at the conference, and consekently can't say precisclywat they decided onto, but ez a member uv the workin committee I know all about it, lor I helpt to execoot their orders. Some time previous a cirkler hed bin is hood, rekeslin the Dimocratic Central Com mittees all over the country to send in all sich property ez flags, banners, trausparencit and sich, uv wich they mite be posaessed, all of wich wood be altered to meet the ex igencies uv the times, nt the expense uv the General Committee. Jtwuz my dooty to as sist the charcuian uv the Workin Commit tee to arrange this mas uv properties that they mile be properly altered. We found on hand the following mater ial : 4,000 banners and transparencis, on wich wuz painted hidjus male niggers, with the ioscrip.shnn below, 'No sich husbands for us !' all uv wich hed bin carried over wagon-loads uv Constooshuel Dimckratic ladies doorin the years from 1S3G to 180G. 4,000 banners and transparencies onto wich was painted ekally hidjus female nig gers, with tho ioskripahen, 'Is sich az these to be the future mothers of Aineriky V 4,000 bunncrs iuskribed, "No nigger vo- tui no nicker labor. 4.C00 banners iuskribed 'Ameriky for white men.' 4,000 earicatoor portrates uv Chase, paint ed over a grecuback, wiuli wuz carried in 1SG3, inskribed, -The king nigger lover, and the trash he is manufacturing 4,000 caricatoors uv Ilorria Greely kissin hidjus female nigger woman, inskribed, "Wat tho Radicles are aitnin at.' 10.000 banners inskribed, 'Free Trade and down with Protective Tariffs.' In addishen to tliase we hed some hun dreds uv thousands, transparencies and sich wich h.3d bin sent in from various parts uv the country for revision and sich altcrashcn ez wood adapt etn to present yoose. Somo of them protested agin drafts, and taxashnn tn support an unholy and uneonstooshne war, others detnandid the rcpoodiashen uv the Nashnel debt, and there wuz others too tedjus to menshun. The Charcuian uv the committee under stands the Democratic party better than any man livin, and he went at his arjus dooty with a clear headeduis I never saw ekallcd 'Send 1000 uv the male nigger trabrpa rencies, and an ekal number of the female nigger transparencies, jist ez they are, into tho Southern parts uv lllinoy, Injeany and Ohio, and all over Noo Jersey, waroin our committee men in the border States, to keep them fur enuff away from the river to en- shoor their not bein seen by the niggers on the south side thereof. 'It shel be done,' said I, amazed at the knowledge he displayed uv the tastes and paedelecshuns of the people. 'Where is our core uv artists ?'he askt. 'I got em in with their brushes and paiuts.' 'Take 1,000 uv the male nigger banners, redoose ther lips, shorten their heels, make ther foroheds cz full ez them uv average Dimocrats no, that wood hardly be compli mentary to em well, make ther foiheds ez full ez them uv average men in general, soft en the complexion to. a mild black, rub out the inscripshen, 'No sich husbands for us !' Take likewise an ekal number U7 the female nigger banners, alter em to correspond with the others, puttin on each a waterfall and a parasol, aod inscribed on em 'The Ladies uv Ameriky our Country's Hope.' These banners must be keerfully packed and sent to our committees in the Southern Staies, where the d d beasts are all voters, and bold the balance uv power. 'It shell be done sed the artists, amazed at bis invensbun. 'Take a thousand uv them Diggers faoes, and soften the complexion to the Chinese color.' 'It can't ba did,' sed the head artist, 'the black is too in ten be.' ! 60 it is, but I bev it. There is thou- ( sands uv banners on wich is mulatto faoes i with the ioFkripshen, 'The Result of Kadi kel llool.' Take em and change the feech- ers to the Chinese pattern, put pig tales on their heads and shee-hammers in their bands with strings uv rats over their shoulders, nnd puppy-dogs running away from em in affrite, and send em to MnsBychoosits, Con necticut and Californy.' 'The caricatoor uv Chase and the green backs, wat can we do with them ?' sad I. 'Do with em ?' he answered, 'change tbe caricatoor to a portrate, and under the green back write "In this sine we conker !' and send em west. I wish that all our work wuz ez easy ez Chase hez made this. 'The llorris Greelys kissen the nigger wimniin, wat shell be done with them 1" I askt. 'Improve Ilorrisses feochers tosutbin or dinarily intcllectooal soften the wenches face, nnd for an inskripshen write 'The era uv good feelin hez come,' and send em South the other half must be doctored a trifle. Bub out the first six words, leavin only 'Protec tive Tariff,' and send cm to Pcnnsylvany, Noo England, and sich Congressional Dec- stricks elsewhere ez are largely interested in manfakters.' 'So far so good,' sed I, but there is thou sands uv banners protestio again drafts and sich,' wich we reely can't afford to lose. The muslin onto which ther painted is ezgood ez new, and its a pity to throw cm away.' 'There's no need uv throwin uv em away, or even wastin paint and labor on em. Send em jist cz they are to the interier counties uv Pennsjlany. Tho Democrotic Central Committees in those counties probably know that the war is over, but tbe rank and file don't aud they'll do to fire thei hearts ez well ez anything else. See that all this iz done, and bo very keerful to pack and send era per dircckshuns." Kz soon cz the artists hed finished their work I packt them and thankt that a tejus .York wuz off my hands, buf, little did I antisipate tie sea of trouble into which I lied pulngtd myself and the com initte. I hed two assistants to direct the boxes, and tbe committee sent us a demi john uv likker for refreshment. We re freshed perhaps more than wuz prudent, cousiderin tho very delikate nacher uv the work we bad to do, and with recklis stoo- pidity directed the boxes at random. Kz mite hev bin expectid, the banners intcn ded to caphcr the nigger in the South went to Soutbrn Ingcany, where they stone nig ger lovers, and the caricatoois uv niggers intended for Southern lllinoy went South. The Free Trade banners went into Pcnnsyl vany, nnd the Pcitective Tariff ones into the wheat states uv tho West. Every box come back, and si 3b litters ez accompanied them ! The Pennsylva- committees all sod that ef Free Trade wuz trooly made a part uv tbe Dimicratic creed they wood swaller it, but it wuz a dose for em, but all the rest cussed us for a set uv sots. A nigger in South Carliny, which our people down there had capbered, opend a box (which should have gone to Injeany) containing the most horrible carictttoors uv his people, and read tbe letter which we enclosed, in wnich we urged tbe Central Committee to file the battle upon the one ijee that niggers was apes aud entitled to no rites whatever ! He indignautly want ed to know 'et this wuz Dimocrisy !' The committee in injeany, who sbocd bev got this,got one instid full uv the picters uv tbe improved Greeley kissing theimproved fe male nigger, with inskripshen, 'The era uv good feelin is come,' and be indignantly wantid to know 'el this was Diuiocracy V and so on all around. This thing uv hevin a dozen sets uv principles may have its advantages, but 1 kin swear that it hez its perplexities. The The Committee wuz immejitly called to gether agin to take sich steps ez the kin to nootralize the effects uv the blunder. Wat they kin do in the matter the Lord only knows. - Petrolium V. Nasby, (Which wuz Postmaster.) C couple of the best counudrums we ev er heard were perpetrated the other day in a social eircle of gen ten en, one of whom had a very bald head: One genxlcman asked : "Why is Mr, 's head like Alaska 1" All Gave it up. 'Because it is a great white bear place.' Hardly bad the laugh subsided ou this, wben another asked, Why is his head like heaven V This was worse to get at than tbe other, and the answer came, 'Because there is no dying or parting there,' An Arkansas Father's Advice to nis Son.

We once heard a story told of two men who started one morning for a whole day,s journey. They soon became teperated, the one reached his destination before the sun bad sunk behind the Western hill, where he made himself comfortable at tho inn. His only trouble was concern for his laggard companion. He thought sure some evil must have bsfallcn him. Long after dark, his fellow companion arrived. When r.skcd the cause of bis de lay, he repled : '1 was obliged to stop at every other house to whip off tho unmannerly dogs that barked at me. Didn't they bark at you ?' 'ies, replied the other, 'but I did not stop to whip them. I simply told them that they were ill-bred curs, and drove on.' We are generatly losers in the end, if we stop to refute all the back bitings and gossiping we may hear by the way. They are annoying, it is true, but not dangerous, so long as we do not stop to expostulate and scold. Our characters are formed and sustained by ourselves, by our actions and purpose, and not by others. Always bear this in mind, that, 'calumnies may usually be trusted to time and the siow but steady justice of public opinion.' IriE Latest Serpant Story. Avery pronounced fish story comes from Barry county, Michigan, where, we are 'told,' a monster resembling a make is residing in Harwood Lako. It is represented as being about twenty feet long, and from five to seven inches in diamster. It has been seen a number of times ouce, last summer, by a Sweede, who supposed it to be the devil. Tho other day his snnkeship was seen again by a boy, who was fishing at the time, and had quite a string of fish lying on the bank. The boy says the snake camo out of the water, and, with one gulp, swal lowed fish, string, and all, and then came for him ; and he, not. particularly wishing for such an associate, made tracks for a more congenial companion. 'It is said' that the teeth of this serpant are three or four inches loug. A wedding couple at Yincennes went to a hotel and said that they would like a room, but didn't care about supper, as they had brought provisions enough with them to last several days.

The sewing machine went hard, and would not do its work well, despito all of sister Amy's efforts. She had oiled it thoroughly she thought; had attended prop erly to to the tention and all that ; and still t was preverse. Brothor Will came and looked over her shoulder, and knit his brow, as was his cus tom when in a puzzle. At last, turning back the machine be glanced over tho works and asked, 'Did you oil it here, Amy'?' 'Why, no, I never thought of that.' A drop of oil was applied, and in another minute the slender needte was flyin" through tbe work like a fairy. No more hu-d work to turn the wheel.
