some 80 or 40 active partizans, lie heads the Ca
talogue, "the Black Listn-he calls removing the
iuillotine"-he assails the motive of their removal
as devoid OF patriotism, and sprnging from the lust
OF power, md tears the passion rags in his absurd
attempt TO represent the procedure as something I'M
expected, Anti Republican, terrible and monstrous
Ills last generation readers rho have not vet heard
OF Jackson's 1900 prescribed, will turn up their
Dyes IN indignation at the atrocity of Gen. Harri-
son, and admire the Esprit" with which Richie
assails prescription" and the tenderness with which
he sympathises with the uniortunates who have
been sweptoff!
Let the venerable hypocrite Of the EMO uirer, and
ms antIquaed readers lament as much as they please
over the victims. We advise them however not to
ehPend Their whole stock OF tears yet arhae. They
VIII have more occasion for them. Prescription, is

i'c' those who specuated upon its monies to build
up their own fortunes, the agtatoGs who perverted
the influence of their trusts TO electioneer for the
dynasty oil the SPoils, are not yet all reached by
the broom OF Reform, by many a score. Wait
awhile, most tender hearted, consistent MIR. Enqui-
rer, lest you exhaust your own and your readers
tears by crying at the wrong place
But how is 1t, that while Gen. Harrison is so be-
rated for removing obnoxious and prostituted office
holders, he gets credit for retaining others hardly

Loyal, the qulntessence Of party rancor and Of in
exorable political bisotry. Why, the rsa SON we
presume is, that the last generation readers might
by such means learn 10 think Gen. Harrison better
than the Loco Foco wire puers would desire The
Spring Elections are at hand.
Gen. Harrison and his Cabinet must see enc thing
very plainly: DO as they may, they are to receive
no credit, nor common justice at the hands of oco
Focosm. Already they exposed to as much
odium as the Loco Foco Press can subject them To-
Our humble petition and advice to the President is
therefore, 10 consult his own convictions of Public
duty, not the caterwaulings of defeated and des-
perate faction, who will never be hnppy until thew
have again fastened their fangs in the Public spois
and who will never forgive him for his being the
instrument in the hands of God ~ the People, of
driving them forth from the mo- which thew
had so unhappiy abused.
As they are determined TO complain at the mos,
moderate and necessary exercise Of the removing
power, we hope President Harrison will REGARD
this as one argument (among many much better)
for removing all delin1ueItS-fof remov;n, oIi 81
