PROFANE PARSONS.

Before they get thro’ with the undertaking they win etrike a snag they wot not of. The psrty whieh stele the presidency for Hayes is capable of overthrew of the laws of the State The object they seek to accomplish will ignominiously fail, and disastrously, too, to some of the parties taking a hand in it.
