T he only Irishman that voted the
republican ticket in Portland pot forty
dollars for the job, bet the same on the
Democratic ticket, and won— of course.
That fellow had an I to bii.
and Greeley, and the New Yoik Times.
and all who, whether as rampant lead
ers or reluctant followers, prolong a
display which disgusts the civilized
world, less sense o f decency, less regard
to outraged popular sensibilities, than
the meanest ring-master of the meanest
circus, or the most brutal exhibitor o f
the poorest monkey show or bear-dance?
W hy do they not withdraw their ani
mals and drop the curtain ? Are they
waiting for the mob to break in and
scatter them ? Sooner or later the peo
ple will do this. Men will not endure
even decent failures. The balloonist
who summons a crowd to see him go up,
must expect to have his balloon cut to
ribands if he fails. The man who takes
a crowd’s money under engagement to
fly, will be hustled and tossed in a
blanket i f he tumbles. Much more
will spectators not allow the prolonging
o f an exhibition which i- at once a
failure and a disgust, such as that of
constitution-making by Hunnicutts aud
negroes
Yet the Radical ring^ma-tc,^ still
keep their exhibitions open, . id are
still travestying constitution-making,
with performers from Congo, who arc
absurd without b< ing amusiDg. The
world is confounded and disgusted
with the jargon that f rrns the high
debate o f these mock Parliaments; and
Wade and Chase and the rest, keep up
the show ! They still bring on the
stage the poor creatures that have been
jeered and hissed as often as they have
appeared, and seem determined to have
them pelted, and to realize Toler’s
fear o f “ having his clos’ pulled off
him,” before clo-ing up the business.
W ill the patienee o f the Northern
people allow this monstrosity much
longer ? It is not merely an absurdity ;
it is not merely a disgust— it is a ter.
ror. It is that most diabolical o f plots
and of dramas— a frightful tragedy in
the garb of a farce. It is the dagger
o f the assassin with the disguise o f the
hnrlequin and the gibberish o f the idiot.
It is the dance o f the Ethiopian over the
dust o f Washington ; it is the humil
iation o f the Caucasian by the African—
the exaltation o f b n bar'sm nnd feii h
ism over 'civilization and. chii-tianity.
It gives to republican forms their dead-

tion to a cause in sit res a certain reward.
unselfish the devotion the
more certain its good results.
Intemperance is a vice which all
acknowledge.
Outside o f immediate
relations and fiiends perhaps the per
sonal good to those who induce others
to sign the pledge is not always npparw
ent, but the good to those who take the
pledge is always appaicut.
While
every man owes it to his own manhood
to abstain from the use o f intoxicating
drink* he owes the same debt to society,
home, wife aud family. Between the
tho temperite aud intemperate there
it all the difference existing betueeu
the beggar and the man o f fortune,
between tbe degraded sot nnd ihe
princely ffcntleman, between the man
shorn o f honors and the possessor o f a
crown. That all may be prosperous is
the unsclfsh aim and desire o f the
temperance community.
