"The Miners Express has shown much
firmncss in opposing the claims of Shep-
herd Letter to denomination for Con-
gross" &c Telegraph.
The Editor Of the Telegraph, in his
efforts to FISH up something to say about
the "Miners Express upon which he
usually expends his little store Of ammu-
nition,) ha, accidentally caugh, "gud-
geon."
The machinery, by which the opera
tons Of the Telegraph Office are carried
on, does not work we'll! The harmony
{ which should prevail, and which does
prevail in all well regulated establish
ments, is wanting in that Of the Tele-
graph.
The os:ensible Editor Of that sheet,
having no political whereabouts, of his
own, often finds himself, not only in op-
position TO his friends, but actually in OPP
position to himself.
In his efforts to harmonize the discor-
dant elements which are brought together
by the force of circumstances, lie not un-
frequently has to swallow some of the
doses he has mixed up for others.
In the article from which we have
quoted above, he has endeavored to show.
that the Express has been inconsistent
with itself in the course taken upon the
subject Of the Hon. Shepherd Letters
nomination and election to Congress.
Whatever may have been the course
Of the Express previous to our taking
charge Of it, we do not pretend 10 know !;
but we do know what has been its course
since that time.
The Editor Of the Telegraph, although
n one time claiming to be member Of
the Democratic party, never knew and
probably never will know, what it is to
I be consistent politician. He has always
in whatever capacity he has acted, been
so intent upon securing the loaves and
fishes, that he has not learned single
principle that governs an honest politician.
For the qualification Of one of his
o,cners, who has himself made some very
daring attempts Upon the political life OF
Mr.. LETTER, this Editor has endeavor-
ed to show that we have been inconsis-
tent in our support Of this distinguished
individual who was the nominee of the
party to which we belong. He even
shows desire to drag Mr.. Letter into
the present contest, and TO say many hard
things about him, Notwithstanding it has
long since been decided that he is the
choice Of the people Of the District which
he has the honor TO represent.
Advocacy Of the claims Of that gentle.
man to seat in Congress, is at this time
against the interests Of the Telegraph
man and those who carry him about
when but short time siace, to oppose
those claims, was, in the opinion Of this
same individual an evidence that ones
Democracy was Of q spurious quality.
We happen TO have an article in our
possession written BY this same w. w
Cosiell upon the very subject he has IS
injSdieionsly, as we think, brought up.
