DR.. HoLT-1 was much shocked at the
"removed" Of Mrs. EARL, Post Mistress at
this place.
AT the death of her husband, (who was P.
M. at the time of his decease) the citizens
OF Bloomington, with a unanimity highly
Pralseworthy, petitioned for the appointment
OF Mrs. Earl. Her husband had been con-
fined with lingering disease, during which
time the duties Of the Office were discharged
by his eldest daughter. She has continued
in the performance Of the duties, with sig
nal ability and satisfaction, up to the time
of her mothers removal.
Miss Earl has been the chief support of
her widowed mother and family. Perhaps
nothing but the deep solicitude and tender
regard for an afflicted parent, could have in
duced daughter to undergo the immense
LABOR and privations necessary to conduct
the +. y. at this place. Miss EARL wished
to retain the office with all its onerous duties.
This is the family that is now cast upon
cold and heartless world, almost without
the ordinary means of support.
Mrs. EARL is an accomplished lady, but
at present shc is afflicted with almost to-
tai loss OF sight, and has been for the last
two years, which prevents her from using
the needle, and otherwise greatly incapaci.
tates her for business.
NOW, Kind reader, bear with me whilst
point out to you the political character Of
those unteeling persons. who, in the midst
OF civilized community, have robbed Mrs.
EARL OF her support! Robbed, l say, be.
cause the present incumbent is not as we'll
qualified to conduct the office as was Miss
Earll. And even feelings of humanity re-
volted at her removal. Who is this F'ix
Henry Warren, and N: l.. Slom7 Firstly,
Warren is long, lank, .foreheadless LOOKING
person, with small moral Developments,
and large secretiveness-entirely destitute
OF the milk Of human kindness in his breast;
or, it he ever had any. it has long since been
curdled by the pool of political corruption
he was sucked upon treachery and wean-
ed upon poluton;-he is the same Warren,
who tempered with the Mormon votes, and
dealt out the corruption fund with a scen
ced hand. He is perfectly acquainted with
every by-path, cross road, large hollow tree
and every corrupt Wing in Iowa. He was
also the master spirit in the hog driving bu-
siness. He is the same Warren who puts
on bold front and enters into the business
in propria personae of putting and defend
ing himself, through the columns Of the Ma
tional lntelligencer, over the signature Of
wisconsin" against certain charges which
originated in Massachusetts,. He is the
convicted libeller of a gentleman in Burling-
ton, and for which be was branded as eli
ar, coward, and scoundrel." He is mean
enough to rob his mothers grave, and steal
a ring from her honey inger;-yes, he would
MOI hesitate to steal acorns from blind
hog! He is an envious dragon, and could
as easily be singled out from group ofho-
norablc gentlemen, as you could single out
mastf puppy from flock of swans. He
is now exto!led by the Wing press, as pa
triot and hero
2ndly N. l.. Stout, alias, Dicky bolt,
is the present P. NJ. at Bloomington! He
is poor specimen Of humanity, partly in
human shape-a "gentlen,an toater"-a long
cared animal, that formerly prayed for the
people Of Bloomington, through the columns
of the 'Herald," in Hog Latin an Kanga-
roo Grammar-the hired ally of +. H. War.
rem, and done up the dirty work for that po-
iitical scavengcr--work that even Warren
would.not stoop to dol!
The sight of this man, Dicky bolt, may
yet Prove injurious to nervous persons, or
those in certain states of health! Warren
has disregarded the wishes o: the people of
Bloomington, in the selection of this man
Sout--who has stout hands to work. stout
constitution, and a very sout share Of lasi.
ness and impudence. Ifthis man needs cha
rity, why not supply him with means from
the "Whig corruption fund.-" or let private
benevolent Wings aid him! These men
should remember that ga just weight and
balance are the Lords"
Among other mean things that l have
heard of in the degenerate days of this "no
prescription party is the removal of this
widow. Why, this Jacob Collamer, War-
rem, and Stout, should be buried in stag
nant leach pool. where the sucking crea-
lures could feed upon them below and mus
quitos above; their nett and drink should
be crab apples and green persimmons.
You will doubtless recollect the celebra-
ted epitaph written by Halloween, and de
signed for poor sordio spirit, which ran
thus:
''His soul was surprisingly small;
Yet the cleaners may find it. perhaps;
When, after the judgment of all.
They 60 forth to gather the scraps"
Permit me, kind reader, to offer parody
on the above. which is designed as an ap-
propriate epitaph on Warren and Stout,
when they shall have crumbled into their
mother dust:
Their souls! they had none at ALL
The cleaners may search in and out,
When, after the judgment is Ger,
They'll find none for Warren and Stout!
Yours, very respectfully PC,
Bloomington, May lst. l949.
