And there's a rumbling sound upon the n hurfs

Are hurri-d to the shore by "Hunch Back" dwarfs,
The hireling clerks of liijuor selling "tugs,"
And tapped for topers gathering with their mugs,
To drink a hcullh toSalun's k ugdom come.
Tlio howl of topers over broken jugs

And the hemlock wuvei above them her green

; tXhis verse, you see. is less smooth sad poetical
than truthful. The qualification which, ill tlie ub

und wiih a show of plausibility, that Xapnleon, be
ing at the bead of the government in both instances,
through his millions in each dejiarlinent, could
make up just such returns us suited him, and pub
lish them to the world us the true result of the elec
t'on. The probability of this being done by a com
mon usurper, is reduced lo a bare possibility when
it is rcine.iibered that a Hon.uaute was playing
thr game, and was to be voted for by a people
whose love for his uumc is so intense that, us nus
remarked ut tlie lime, iu our presence", by un iatel
llgent I'len haiuii, if a man of slruw uete dressed

whether we can not glean something from the an
