54. LIV.
NOMINATES A TICKET.
Church uv the Noo Dispensashun, }
June the 9th, 1864.
At last lite brakes upon our darkend vision.
I see it. We 're all rite. I scent post-offises a
yere off. The way is open—let the Dimokrasy
enter boldly. My ijee is FREMONT and VALLANDIGUM!
I shel apply for a patent onto it.
It 's our last and only hope, and ef the Shecago
Convenshun do n't adopt it, the members thereof
will prove themselves ijeots. Look at it wunst:
1. Marterdom is a essenshel to candidacy in our
party. Who, I ask, is carryin a hevyer lode uv
this artikle than these 2 grate marters? Fremont
eggsild to Noo York, and Vallandigum a pinin on
a furrin shoar! Wat subjex for the illustraitid
noosepapers!
2. A variety uv principple is nessary, and this
tikkit fills the bill in that pertikeler. Wat a
range uv ijee! The largest and best selectid assortment
uv principples in the markit! The fiery
Ablishnist, the bleever in Onezimus and Hayger,
the sympathizer with the Sowth, and them ez
yelled for exsterminashun can be served at this
shop, and can all be satisfied.
3. We 've got to do it. We 've expended much
munny a gettin Fremont out, and in doin uv it
hev endorst and adoptid uv him. Spozn we let
him run, and nominait sumbody else—wat then?
We 've said so much in his favor—we 've labord
so hard at provin that Linkin aboozd him, that
we won't be able to git it out uv our peeple
by eleckshun time, and haff uv em will vote for
him. The Dimekratik intellek is limitid — it
can't hold 2 ijees to wunst, without gittin uv
em mixt.
4. It is essenshal, in a pekoonyary pint uv
vew, that we fasten the Ablishnists, for they hev
munny, and kin bare the expensis uv the campane,
wich is hunky. Fremont hisself hez the
Marryposy gold-mines.
5. We kin do it and be consistent. Compermise
hez alluz bin a bam for Dimekratik wounds,
and we must compermise—each faction sofnin
down a little. The Ablishnists must give up
ther Ablishnism, the pro-slavery men ther proslaveryism,
the war men must give up ther war,
and the peece men ther peece, and all yoonite on
the brod and comperhensive platform uv opposishen
2 Linkin, on akount uv HIS CORUPTNIS!
The fact that we wunst opposd Fremont for the
saim reezn, don't matter. I 'd ez soon accept a
post-offis at the hands uv Fremont ez enny uther
man.
I went out into the woods, last Sunday, to see
wether I cood holler “Hooror for Fremont!” The
fust 15 or 20 times it stuck in my throte, but
after a hour or 2, it workt smooth. Dimokrasy
is flexyble.
