THE COURIER AND ENQUIRER, AND THE
PROPOSED SURRENDER OF OUR ARMS.

There is no spectacle in the world more ludicrous
than that Of would-be oracle like the Courier 6,
ENQUIRER fwbose yoce does moi r.aai has,aad Me-,
attempting 10 expand and TO hutter SO loud Ike
Tie great interior Of State like this, hear and obey
II, as to what II shall do, what il shall do in the
matter Of IFS Elections. This spectacle becomes
more udlcrous yet when such a paper attempts to
read an DID, well-tred, and faithful Journal like the
N. Y. Express out OF the Wing rauks-for the whole
world must cry out in aghsst at such mpudence,-
Who are youf What gives you this right 10 make
and unmske Wing journals How long since you
were engaged in bringing on these political ca
lamities, that you now own 10 be such well we

which was signed and sealed, while YOU advo-

Van Burens, the Frank r. Blars, the Isaac Hills, and
the Edwin Croswes Of the land. When you found
il for your interests TO JOIN our party, you rated, be-
rsyed your own, and came into our ranks which we
must say has derived far less advantage and respect
ability from that treason, than has accrued there
from To the party that fortunate thus easily
to rid itself Of you. Indeed wonder that you do
not blush red and black, when you call John Tyler,
"Trator,"-you, who acted With him under Jackson
in 1880, and turned your coat with him then
This lau liable spectacle Of lecture from such
press is aggravated into the comic by an appendix
charging the Express with standing by John Tyler
and his advertisements" until he stopped the pat
ronage, with which its allegiance purchased and
fostered." Particularly when such an appendix has
not the even the merit Of originality.

rier to the support Of John Tyler is ths-the Cou-
rier asked for the Post Office ir New York and did
moi get IL The Express asked for any thing Of
the Government, but what il had was rendered. The
Courier filled whole boxes Of the Post Office Depart
ment in Washington with recommendation from
Bishops and Governors, down, asking for the office
aforesaid but John Tyler would not grant il. The
Express asked for no office, nor place nor emou-
mcnt from Gen. Harrison, nor John Tyor-but il
would bot be considered presumption among those
who knew our position TO say, that IL could have had
any reasonable place, or position, il would have

Post Office, bolted, and as bitterly denounced as il
bad before extolled, John Tyler. .
There lie there now side by side, il may be- the app
cations OF the Courier for place. and the surrender Of
