attempting to make others believe that he cast it diff
ferently from what he did.
Sd. Every one knows hour Morrison labored to elect
himself by taking all sides of the questions agtated,
especially when he last candidate for the State
Senate That he ever labored for Others, We must
have further evidence than his own say So before we
believe one word of it. excepting, perhaps, he cons
ders labor the fifty cents he reluctantly gave to help
purchase powder last year, and perhaps rife more
when he WAS made the big gun at the barbecue, and
expected to have his aboriOus services on that
sion freshly remembered, nchen the time came.
4th Morrison brags about receiving a larger vote
than his party when candidate. Rather a suspi-
cious circumstance Until we drew the cloaks from
the hypOcrites for the purpose of giving the people
fair play, the Juno could play any game which suited
them In connection with the plotting and scheming
Wings, therefore, the Junto, by bargaining, could al
ways manage their cards, and elect their own tools.

honest of all parties well know.
9th. He boasts of his services in the Legislature
w
whether he has forfeited the confidence of the peo-
pie by his acts not the result of his last canvass
candidate for Senator is an index. IF he is not sat
isfed with that he had better try it again. We have
not doubt but our whole ticket was that year defeat
ed in consequence of attempting to carry the load of
Morrison. OF this matter, we may be more particu-

7th. He says, ''his political course has always
been candid and open cbnceanet being no part Of his
character. He may take our boots after that!
sth He intends to defend himself he says, to the
last extremity. That is all very proper. Even a
skunk will do that But there is vast difference
between defence and attack. If he is the Democrat
he processes to be, he would attack the common enc

cord among the Democracy for no other purpose what
ever than to further his selfish ends. We should sup
pose that even he had lived long enough to learn thai
honesty is the best policy" At all events, he vii
find that the best course pursue hereafer and if ht
is not too firmly welded to political gambling, he
should adopt it at once. He will never succeed In
any other COURSE however he may have prospered by
it in times by-gone. Political gambling, like al
other gambling, has nearly reached its acme and as
sure as day succeeds night, SO sure will it fall The
eyes of the people being opened on all sides, ant
all attempts hereafter to play such games will mos
signaly be detected exposed and rebuked.
