MR. EplroR-Trouble will happen in the best OF
families. and Doctors will differ. The latter hap
pens most certainly when the patient is hardy, Gu.
rious or desperate enough to call in ssRegular'
| and '.Botanic'' to consult over his and at
| tempt his cure. If he dies they fight over the i'm
portanl question sswhich killed hn9'' But the pith
OF the sport comes on if he happens to survive
| There the contest Is vindictve and deadly in the
extreme. Then it is s:who cured him?' and the
battle wakes hot and furious; nor does the war a.
bate until another electon-I beg pardon-another
case occurs which renders necessary another I'M
ion, of course for the good the public and the true
Interests Of the county. Whether the cases are an
aogous or not, would most respectfully refer to
the amiable and discriminating authoress above
quoted, and only say as historical fact, that the
union of the ssregular' and ereformed falias free
| soiD democracy, in sHigh Henry,'' effected won
ders, beat the best man the wing ticket, did sun
dry and divers other things, and is now engaged in
pitching heads and tails to decide where the blush
ing honors of victory belong, and perfect unison
and in part payment, together patching up for dis
cussion at the public meetings truisms in the shape
of resolutions that as well settled and conced-
ed as the arithmetical one that "two and two make
four" then boldly and magnanimously daring the
whole world to meet and dispute them, and in short
to prove ''two and two make five" sin union
is strength" Then, gentlemen, don't quarrel.-
Don't let these little after quarres about "the way
twas done" and which Of you has got the eject UNI
der your wing, disturb that unanimity and good
feeling that will be so necessary next August, when
the idea will be thus
DIVORCED like scissors rent in twain
Each mourned the rivet out,
Now whet and nveted again
Will make the old shears CUT
So prepare for next time. Go ahead! What If
you have to be all things to all men? Don't high
authority sanction your course2 What if you call
it democracy at Lowell and abohtioaism at saIem9
What If you have to hide the locofoco tickets at s
lem, and the abolition tickets at London2 What
II your candidates have 10 mount democratic
horse in one township, an independent nag in an
other, and lead freesol colt in the proper place
and time? Why. nothing-all right. It's free
country, and man is not bound TO use common
sense, honesty, or decency-uniess he has them.
And as to even answering to public opinion for it
fudge-the press is on side that will yiuSicate
the right and explain HOWE fairly and hoaorab,v
it was done. 1t is great thing, Mr. Editor in these
parts to be oh edtor to sit upon the tripod throne

Salem, Aug. 20, 1880.
me Burlington Gazette, of last week, was so ex- !
c'ted oy report Of the arrival of FIrz HxNRy
WARREN in that town, that it stopped the press to
announce the fact; and in doing so, he is spoken of
as ''the Haynau Of America, and ex Second Assist
ant Butcher ofthe Post Office Departments This
is the sort Of speech which has excited so much
disgust III this state as to break down one of the
strongest politicians ever known to the country-
we ailude OF course, to Col BENTON and 10 his vi
oieht language last summer, particularly applied to
men who had been his devoted admirers for a quar-
ter Of a century. Something might be learned from
thus fact. In the Burlington article there are al
most as many errors as lines. Col. Warren had
not arrived there at all, nor is he or Acs;S.,,, !
