"s,ill small voice" This IL Jonathan all

What right, or what reason, had that
modest gentleman, (by the way, he should
be called the modest man what au,hori-
~ had he to take 10 task, and to censura
in abusive terms, so large number Of
the old settlers Of Burlington as were en-
gagged in the political "glorifcation.' as he
calls il, on Wednesday evening Of last
week? Decency, common sense, and a
becoming modesty would have dictated ST.
lence rather than such insolence.
Feeling we'll satisfied with the result, Of
the late election, and having no DISPOSE
ton to gall our opponents with any pa.
rade Or exutation, il was our intention to
let the display ofWednesday evening pass
unno,iced, until this wanton attack upon
our democratic friends made its appear
ance in the last Hawkeye. As our atten.
ton is driven to the subject, wetwill state
the facts-and il the mottos again see1
the eye balls Of the federal clique they
may thank their man OF all work for tn
sight.
| On Wednesday evening, then, Of las
week, the democrats Of Burlington, graft
fed with the result Of the election, deter
mined to give demonstration Of thei
feelings, and in pursuance Of this design
they planted, in the middle Of Main,
street, pole some forty feet in height, q
the top Of which foated 'the stars an

was fine transparency, representing OF

what every man, woman and child in
this community can also tell him, that

| There were iother mottos Of which
the penny-a-liner also seems ignorant
for instance this one, "Put out then

conscience, no one will take the trouble
to be dissatisfied with him.
"Wego in for a lille healthy excite
ment" was another motto which seemed &
stumbling block to the pro tenn penny
liner. He CONSTITUTES it to mean a jug O
whiskey. Such exceeding dulness is excu.
sable only in one who is suffering in the
expiring agonies Of teetotalism, and who
from concentration of.cilcumstances,
could not reasonably be expected to lool
to any other source than ''lhe jug" for .

with this penny-a-liner. But for hi
boundless egotism, we would venture te
