That wonderful genius. the editor of
the Gazette, undertook in his las! number
to dictate to the people who they should
vote for. He calculates 10 print the real
Simon Pure tickets, according TO his
notion and make the democrats "swallow
them" He is everlastingly hanging
abou. the skirts of the honest yeomanry.
and by his whining, pileous tales, trying
to prevail upon them TO subscribe to his
paper; he thus frequently bores them into
compliance with his request. But he
cannot bore the people into voting for
any but those they choose as their own
candidates. He has been blowing his
bellows to get up political excitement,
and as he has taken the management Of
The grea. loco foco carousal, which is to
come off in Burlington on the Saturday
preceding the election into his own hands,
we should not wonder if they do have a
regular bull. hard cider drunken pow
WOW, on the occasion. We hope tn ey
will have i, as far from the centre of the
town as possible.

395 men, women and children, former.
ly slaves of John Randolph. but manu-.
mitled by his will, arrived at Cincinnati
on the lst on their way TO Mercer coun.
ty. Ohio, where the Executor has select
ed for them suitable spot of ground. -
They had baggage wagons, good teams
and were comfortably dressed. II was
feared that the "old citizens" of Mercer
might disturb these new settlers. If they
do, "where can they go?'

Singular Letter for Gouernor.-The
following letter, although unique never
theless shows that Gov. Ford has not
studied the character of the "war men"of
Hancock in vain. How much like some
valorous knights thai we wol Of in this
vicinity are those described by Gov. F.
SPRINGFIELD, June 10, 1916
SIR:-1our favor of the l6lh inst. was
received last evening. concur with you
fully as to the proper mode Of treating The
disturbances in Hancock county. think
II best to let the parties fight it gu, this
time, and ii is very probable, if they know
that there Is no interference. there will
be bu! lille fighting after all. Some of
the boys want somebody TO hold them
and then they would have all the credit
Of being heroes, without The danger. But
seriously know very well. that if were
to order force into Hancock county, The
war would all cease; the doughty warriors
would scamper off 10 Missouri, and they
would all swear that they never intended
TO have any disturbance. The troops
would return, for they canno, be kept
there all the time: and then the beIigel-
EMS would assemble as brave as ever. |
would have to do the thing over and over
every time making the county Of Hancock
and the whole Stale more ridiculous than
before.
Il they want TO fight, let them fght,and
! think that if fifty could be killed off j,
would have most wholesome effect. |
fear there never will be any submission
to law in Hancock, until the bows figh,
and get tired of it.
| am. respectfully your obi serv't.

From WashingfOEl.

Our dates from Washington are up to
the I'd. In the Senate the bill for the
rerocession Of Alexandria passed by a
vote of 80 to II.
In the House they were on the Tariff.
Numerous amendments were proposed,
the most important OF which were strlk-
ing ont of Mckay's bill the duty on Salt,
Tea and Coffee. Many of the admins
tration men from New York and all from
Pennsylvania. 60 agains. both Walker 5
and Mckay's bills.
Mr. Polk is said 10 be getting quite un.
popular with some Of his party a, Wash.
ington. That is because he is so much
better than his predecessors.

Despicable. -PcLiticm Faroritism -
The Wings lent hand in carrying on
the War. by voting for appropriations and
men, and by enlisiing themselves III large
numbers as Volunteers in defence Of their
country. They did no, stop 10 ask wheih-
er the war was just. They knew i, was
not. They knew i, could have been ca
silly avoided and the lives and money
squandered in its pursuit saved. Blu,
they went for their country, and sacrific.
ed all party feeling and prejudice a. the
shrine of patriotism. They would not
have been good Wings if they had no,
done SO. But how has the President
treated them, while they thus stood up so
manfully in his support! lie has had the
appointment. Of hundreds of officers in the
army, and not one OF them has been
wing. Such conduct is mean and highly
unmagnanimOus. Wings have TO fgh,
all the battles at 8 dollars month, while
loco focos. as officers, have their 500.
