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. Bob, you are leaving home for
strange parts. Yo-i are gaing to throw
me out of the game and go it alone. Th
odds are again you, Bob remember that
industry and perseverance are tbe winnin
cards, as they are the bowers. Book learn
ing. and all that sort of stuff, will do to fill
up with, like small trumps, but jou moet
have the bowers to back them, or they
ain't worth shucks If luck is agin you
pretty strong, don't crave and look like
aick chicken on a rainy day, but hold up
your head nnd make believe you are flush
with trumps ; they don't play bo hard agin
you. J ve lived and traveled around some.
Bob, nnd I've found out that as noon as
folks thought jou held a weak hand, they'd
nil buck agin you strong. So when you'
sort'r weak, keep on a bold look but play
cautious; be satisfied with a piot. Many'i
the hand I've seen 'em euchre cause they
played for too much.
Keep your eyes well skinned, Bob : don't
let m nig you, recollect that the game lays
as much with the head as the hands. Be
tempcrte, never get drunk, for then no
matter how good your hand, you won't
know how to play it ; both bowers and the
ace won't save you, there's sartin to be

other thing, Bob, (this was spoken in a
low tone) don t go too mnch on the women,

have of them the worse for you ; you might

that is a trump its all good, and there's
sartin to be one out of four. And above all
be honest, never take another man's trick
wot don't belong to you, nor 'slip cards or
nig, for then you can't look your man
in the face, and when that's the, case thcr's
no fun in tbe game, it is a regular 'cnt

How to Treat Slander. 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 affable o'erk wept at their
tranquility.
A ruralist at Newport, seeing a lad?
driving and her groom with folded arms
behind, thought 'that nigger must pay that
nice-looking girl a pile to drive his carriage
forhim,'
