The Lincoln Patriot, in its usual fright.
caused an eruption of some few ,oind and
air bubbles, which it is said bore down
heavily upon the good people of Waldo
boro'. The Patriot is not often taken in
this way, if so. word of caution would be,
necessary. However, as the materials of
which it was composed, being of rather
windy substance, little fears or anxiety was
manifested, by its citizens. Had the little
man in black been backed by the Custom
House sprig, his wind might have lasted a
few moments longer, although of little use.
The report oflhis combustable material,
was that of a naughty, aciehed, federal cir
cular, said to burst forth on theseve before
election, and signed by George ID. Smouse,
Geo. Sproul, Henry Kennedy, and James
Hor,y, four respectable citizens, whose
characters would be darkened, to be placed
by that of the Patriot. This Circular is
known to have been put forth on the same
ground of that published in the offcehold-
ers Argus, nearly month since, which was
printed in 1888, but altered to suit the Lo-
co Foco fancy, and the Patriot knows it,
and looks to US more than likely as not, to
be issued from that Tory office, TO circu.
late after the late election, to satisfy their
readers, that the Wings were doing their
utmost to carry the election, by secret or
ganization. This is their principle, and,
therefore what better can we expect from
such deprayed set, who are as efficient
of honesty as the Patriot is of princi ple5s@
This circular, if issued before election,
which the Patriot asserts, might have done
some good; but our opponents looked out
for that, their little federal runer Tom, might
be seen sky-larking around in the outmost
parts of the County, distributing his hand
bills and spurious tickets and watching the
crack of the whip, from his master and at

for no better mark of honesty and integrity,
in any gentleman, than being assailed by
Ibis organ OF Loco Focoism-whose only
end and aim, is to bring every one upon
level with itself, which is level indeed. -
The following is a fair specimen Of the
Patriots slang which we will copy.

territory in the possession of the British
