Mastxk's Oonwxiis, Mianuox Htodxrd, I I* TUX BTATX UV DXLAWABB, > September 1,1870. - t Bokb weeks sence I addrest a cirkler letter to a large number uv the leadin workin Democrats in the various States, ask in: 1. Wat is the prosper of the Dlmocriay uv yoor State ? 2. Success this fall jyood enshoor us success in the Presidenchal struggle uv 1873—wat important politikle changes do yoo expect in case we succeed f 8. Give, breefly, yoor idee uv the distinktive principles of the Dimocrisy, and wat we shel acltceve by success. To these cirklers I received a grate menny ansers, uv wich the followin is average samples:
FROM NEW YORK. We hope to succeed in cafryin the State, though emigr&shen htz fallen off, wich cuts down our vote somewhat. We shel hev to make up that deficiency by extrordinary repeetin. We want the Federal offiscs, for there aint enuff uv city and State poshens to go around. It is an alarmin fact that there is to day in the city uv Noo York twenty-one thousand Irish Democrats who hev neither a offls nor a contract, and some uv these hev bin here three years. We she] make the site here on the corupshen uv the Administration. In case we succeed in oustin the Ablishnists uv course either Ben or Fernandy Wood must hev the Treasury Department, and Tweed or Sweeney must be Collector, ez they hev at least a thousand each uv men who hev stood by em, to whom they hev promised places who hev never got nothing. We shk demand a distinktive change in the Pott Offlses, and the abrogathen ut everything done by the AUish nistt tenet 1861. FROM OHIO. We hope to succeed in Ohio. We shel make a fltc on the corrupshcn uv the Administrashen, and shel put onto the stump every one of Bukannan’s offls holders who hez escaped delirum tremens. We hope to hev rich men ez Vallandygum in the Senit uv the Yoonited States, in the place of Sherman, to make laws, and sicii a m an cz Breckenridgc in the Presidenshel chair to execoot em. Our distinktive principles is Post Offltet and the abrogathen uv etrylhing done by the Abltihnists sence 1861. FROM INGEANY. We hope to succeed in Ingeany. We yern to see sich a man ez Voorhcs in the place uv Morton, and we hev thousands uv Dimokrats wich did good servis ez Unites of the Golden Cirkle, who are langishin in obskoority. We want the Post offiscs, ancTwe pertikerly desire the abrogathen uv everything done by the Ablishnists sence mi.
FROM MIBSOURV. The Ablishnists ia an inkubus on us wich wc hope to remove this fall. The heft uv us wuz in Price’s army, but we demand the rite to vote and to hold Postoffices, and the reduckshcn uv the nigger to his normal speer; in short the abroga shun uv (rerilhir.g done by the AUishnists sence 1861. FROM KENTUCKY. We kin carry Kentucky and spare 10,000 voters to help Ingeany, for thank the Lord the nigger can't vote here. We insist on the restoration uv the patriarkle system uv slavery; we insist on the restorashun to us uv sich uv our niggers ez are livin, and payment with interest for sich ez are dead ; we insist also onto the repeal uv all the amendments bearin onto the nigger; in short we demand the Poet Ofiees and the abrogashen wo everything done by the AUifhnists sence 1861.., The Illinois Dimocrisy demanled ' Free Trade and the Post Offices, and the abrogashen uv everything done by the AUishnists fence 1861; the Pennsylvania Dimocrisy demanded a high pertective tariff, the Post Offices, and the abrogashen uv everything that had been done by the AUishnists sence 1861; Delaware said nuthin about tariff, but wuz unyceldin ia her demand for the Post Offices and the abrogashen uv everything done by the Ablishnists'sence 1861, and so likewise wuz the Noo England States. The Dimocrisy uv the other Southern States hed various pints of policy wich they difierd on much, but they all agreed fully on the two, namely: the Post Offices and the abrogashen of everything done by the AUishnists sence 1861. Wood, O, wood that wc cood Lev that success! Wood that I cood wunst more see the bar-room at Willard’s filled with Dimocratic members, a Dimocratic President.inthe White House, Dimocratic Contractors, Dimocratic Postmasters and Dimocrats in Custom Houses ! Wood that the good old times uv Floyd’ and Cobb, and Toucey cood come agin. With wat stern delitewe wood, if we hed a majority in Congress and a President who woodent veto our bills, go at the legislashen uv the last ten years, aiid wipe it all out at on; stroke. Oh wat a humiliashen ivjvood be to the Ablishnists to hev power put into our hands to rcbook em by undoin all their work! Will the people give us this power ? I hope and pray they may, for the Lord knows we want it bad enuff. Petroleum V. Nasby. (Wich wuz Postmaster)
