Col. MeprLL-.P ersonaI,ties.-We have

Col. MeDuLL-. PsrsOnal,ties.-We have
a word or two To say relative to a certain
remark repeated sundry times by Col
Medill during his speech "n Monday eve.
ming last. He inlimaled that snme per.
son had concealed himself behind the
editor of this paper 10 black.guard him.
The lnuendo is doubly false Unless
Col. Medifl is above criticism. he was
not black.guarded; aud no man or set of
men eyer have used or ever can use the
columns OF this paper. except as cores.
p%ondents, for any such purposes. The
Colonel must not think that, because he
has heen an nfice-hulder for the last ff
teen years of his life. because he has
been President 0fthe Convention, mem.
berof Congress aud Indian Commission
er, he is therefore beyond the reach of
ordinary men. Such ambition as tina,
might be pleasant; but nevertheless he
can never possibly. either by nature, edu
cation or association, reach that point
There are many better, able aud more
consistent men than he, who have been
shamfully black guarded by his own
party friends.
In the mex; place, we said nothing
concerning his remarks, but what
were perfectly right and proper. 1t is
himselflhat lacks the proper spirit. His
illusions were ungener"us and unjust, aud
we merely held up to the view ofthe pep
pie a real picture, while he only imagin.
ed one.
So with his second speech. He pre-
tended that a fraud was designed in the
announcement Of certain names as speak.
ers on last Saturday. He knows nothing
about il. He made assertions without
any knowledge of the actual state of tho
case, and inthat did not do what he ought
TO have done.
After all his denial of party and party
issues, scarcely had his party friends be.
come convinced that they had carried the
day, than they at once exclaimed that
they had the Wing party down for the
next twenty years. 1t may be so. but
nevertheless they had better wait and see.
Times change --men change-and at the
same time, it is frequently the case that
the demagogue is discovered and his
highest hopes" destroyed.
A little bit of inflammation may be If
some advantage To Col. Medill and his
friends. The Gazette is entirely and ex-
clusively owned, managed aud edited by
its present proprietor. 1t has been for
the last FIVE years. No man or set Of
men have inteifered in any manner what.
soever, and we may add, they never will.
And we may also add that the men of
tho Wing party in this town have too
much magnanimily to shift any respon.
sibility upon our shoulders and ton much
honesty to do secretly what they are a
fraid to do openly. We know lhem.--
We also know many democratic leaders
and wish we could say as much for them.

l0rs beyond the demand for them.
Tmg CAMILLA CosruMe.-The Boston
Journal recommends that the new STYLE
of dress adopted by some ladies' be call.
ed Camilla Costume" Camilla, as we
read in ancient mythology, was II ofthe
messengers Of Diana, accustomed to the
chase and to war. She was noted Tor her
fleetness Of foot, and of course must have
eschewed the street.sweeping garments
in vogue at tho presen! day.
Fossil KANGARoo.-Nu remains Of this
Australian animal have, heretofore, ever
been found. we believe, in America.-
Now, however. we learn from the Mid.
dletown (C"nnecticut) Sentinel, that DR..
Barralt, Of that place, has discovered a
beautiful and distinctly marked cast of
Kangaroo in the Portland quarry. 1t is
so Characteristic that there is M fear of
mistake.
EMIGRATION FROM ALL OF GgR.
NAN to the United States will he great
er this season, it is said, than at any for.
mer period. This is easily accounted
for. The condition of things in Germa
ny is unsettled, ard the emigrants know
that while their civil and religious rights
will be respected in America, industry
aud irugallty are sure to reap their just
rewards.
