Louisa seems determined 10 make out his tale 10
suit hiiilself, even ii he has 10 draw on his Imagination
Tor part OF his materials. think few will agree with

the day when The largest number Of persons was at the
courthouse, and the R.ves' meeting no, until many had
leit, and many OF these remaining had been driven into
'he stores ana other places OF shelter, by a shower Of
ram. But We consider it q matter Of minor imporla nee,
how many joined in the invitation 10 Mr.. Rives. Suf

county, by their attending The dinner, and 'mons,rous,
huniiiialing and anomalous as it may appearto Louisa, >
that IN this hitherto, and will add, still Democratic
county, a dinner should be rendered TO Nj. Rives, and
his confident prediction that there will not be more than
hall a dozen Van Buren, men at it, 10 The contrary not.

stand but little of The Louisa character, if her "un,eIri

led about by a few would be prominent characters, fist
against The Sub Treasury, and then in favor Of it, as
may suit their pleasure But in wha, does The mon

oE0 The voters oil this Congressional District stamped
the senl OF their disap APPRECIATION on The Sab Treasury;
tor, though Louisa may attempt 10 disguise The fact,
the Sub Treasury, IT not the most prominent, was a very
important consideration with many in deciding their
votes Our opposition TO II has not ceased. Did "Loui
ga then consider il paramount TO all other considpra
lions. and so conservative IN its nature, as 10 induce
him 10 vote for the estimabIe gentleman who was lis
sponsor and repnied author: IF so, do not and cannot
blame him for adhering 10 his principles. But if he then
was either DnDuSpd IN IL mr. thpuvht q liuhIIv n IL iIaI
he could, with a due regard 10 the duty he owed him
sell and his country, vote for the candidate known Il
be oppused 10 ii, in preference TO its reputed author,
Cannot see by what rule Of reasoning, we, who view The
sub-Treasury, in any other light than as an unimpur,
ant matter, are 10 be branded Ly him as the perpelralor:
OF a mons,rons, humiliatlng and anomalous oct. fol
rendering a dinner 10 Mr.. William G. Riyes, who
"up to the time Of the Baltimore Convention, locke
10 the Republican pnr,y alone for favor or promotion
and al that time, and up 10 1887, was The favorite mar
oil The party in this State, as we'll as many of the o,hel
States and from whom We have no reason for with
drawing our confidence or support. But "his position
IS underlined. his political preferences ore kept under
bushel, and his whole course since 81 is the absurd anc
anti. Republican doctrine Of non commilta!ism. Merely

public servant, with whom We ugree on principles vially
affecting the permanency of our institutions, because he

"PrinSipia nonh0mints"- and as long as Mr.. Rives sup

] am truly sorry, that our laundering manner Of pro
ceeding should so much shock the delicate nerves of The
worthy "Louisa;" and the only excuse can offer him IS
that we are a very plain sort of people, iilie versed in
the formula of ia shionable life. We did not know. al

we ever attached SO much Importance TO particular days

such grave importance, do not know what greater ser
