CüNFEDRRIT X KOADS.1 (wich is in tlic Stalc uv Ktatucky) S. July io, 18S0. j In all ages uv the world dreems hev bin cousidered prophede. Jon Buuyan yoosed tho similitood uv a dreaiu to portray the struggles and vicisi-itouds uv a Cnschen lift', and I ulluz dreem when anything espacia] is ugoin to h:ipj, n to tlio Dimocrisy. I differ f rooi Bunyan in thi.s: ho didn't dreem at all, but he writ ez tho he did, while I actilly do drecui. Last evenin Basconi give a spred in honor uv the nouiinashun uv Hancock, and M tho provonder wuz tree, and the üker likewise, 1 hed, for wunst, oggsackly all that my Hystem oood hold, and uiy systcm is trooly a holder. Bein very full, I went to niy couch, a troo Dimekratic Bunyan, lo drceiu. In my dreem the Pre.--idenshul struggle took the very nateraj forin uv a race. It wuz all regeler, the two partios trottin out each a hoss, the winnin post bein the White Houe rne titmmte} uubtuu oui muir uues, and I telt ruther ploased on the huil. He come up piancin with a tree sort uv step, and didn't look cz tho he lied a bleminli. Iodoed he come up so gamey, that ¦ I reely hed faith in his sueksess, tho the othcr hoss had a winnin luok about him, and cuui uv a stock that hez been winnin for so long that thcy hev a noshen tint they oant be beet. Our hos wuz under the groouiiti of Senator Wallacc, uv Pennsylvany, and he wuz backt by the entire nouth, and Taniuiany Hall, and also by scattcrin polittikle sports from the other States. "Xow," sed Wallaoe, "evcrybodv keep away, and don't spoil this race by cny enana foolishriess. 1 hev fittid thu hoss Dyself, and ef I ride him he's ure towin. ieep cleer uv hiui, and don't say a word. " "Hold on a minit," hed a long-haired 'eller l'roni Virginny, "we hev got to ïev some assurances to jestify us in acking this hoss," and ho ttung onto his jack :ui enoriuouíí sack labeled "Looisiaaa administration," and juuiped on hissell' to ieep it in place." "Jest a ruitiit," sed a l'ennsylvany Diui ekrat, "he must carry this," and he hove on a packugo laboled "protective tarifl', " and he climbed on. "He kin nevor run without this," sed a Non Yorker, and he histod up a very hevy ack labeled "Iree trade." Anotüer Noo Yorker and a Massychoosita mau climed up, each with a very heavy jackage uv honest raoney, and a Ingeany uan oliuibed ou with an iiumetiBe bundie uv fiat inoney. Thig hed no weight, but it ook up a grcat dual of room, and them which kerriod itmade agreat deal of uoise. Jist before the start a gang of Ku-Kluk ioui Mississippy elimbed on, and, dewpite Vade Hanipton's entreaties, a South Kcriney riflei club scramblcd up, and, ez if hat wasn't cnuff, Julin Kellny, with the entire Tanimany society, dtlibritly took seals on his back. Then canie a (?ang loaded with "States' lites," and a C'atholic Bishop or two slid oto seats jest where they cood hold the eins, and ten or a dozen Confedrit Briga[eern, wich woodent taka their unifonns ff, climbed up, and a full fivo hundred ?outhcrnors, with demanda for appropriahens, hung onto his talo. Senator Wallace remonstrated, but t wuzn't no yooK. Every man uv cm remarkt that ef the hoss coodent kerryhini, what kind of a hoss wuz it, anyhow, and hoy all yelled, "Start bim ! " The word wuz given, tho poor broot make a convulsivo stagger, and immejitly went down under the load that wuz put upon him. IIo rucovered and managed to tccp on his feet till he struck tbc tirst uarter-post, Ohio, when his strength gave ut, and down he went, rollin' over his miscellaneous load with great efiect. The ther walked over the track, and eaino in easy winner. "How could any hoss run, so weighted," ellcd Wallacc. in a rage. "It wood hev Mini down Ginral Washington, let alone ich a Ginral cz Hancock. lts no yoose. 'he hos wuz good enuff, but great Oaftur what a load he hed to kerry?" While the crowd wuz a strugglin to git ut from under the cggsaustcd charger I woke. Is this dream troo? Is Handuock to be oadcd with all these weighta afore he tarts? Is ther no way of kcepin out uv itc what we don't want to be soen till fter the e'eckshun? I fear not. We are neither ez wise ez crpints, or harmleas ez doves. It is a rovidence agin us. We never yit hed a liow for success that we did not immejitly bol it away. The radikels are forchunit in ur stoopiditv. They hev lived onto it for en years. Ef we only hed the sense to uu Hancock on his htyle and military ccord, and say nothin about anything eke, r ef wc cood keep our kotin element out v Mto till clec;kshun day, we niight ko jrough. But ez it is, wc are hopelWy oue up. My hart is sad. PBTBOLSTM V. NASHY, (depoiid('i)l.) He came into our sanctum with a Urge uil of manutciipt under his arm and aid ery politcly : " I have a trifle herc about ie beautiful sunwt yesterday, which was ashed off by a friend ot mine, which I ould like iuserted if . you havo room."
