Well, now, we take it that those are SEN
sible young men-those in New York
They apply to the right source for imforma-
sion. They knew there was no, chance Of
getting the truth out of their political
friends, SO they concluded to enquire'of US,
who, they felt, would not deceive them.
We couldn't find it in our healtsto refuse
anything to young gentlemen who manifest
such confidence in us. We shall most Ger
tainly give them all;the information in our
power. About The organization, we will
not say much, since, as we have no acqnain-
tance with Mr.. Brooks, we feel obliged 10
replyto our correspondents through our pa,
per, and Of course they don't wish us to blab
all the party secrets 10 the public but we
will just say, in sly way, that that ma tier
is llright.
As to the canvass in generul, we can speak
more freely, bull we are very sorry TO say,
notso encpuragingly Wedo not know that
we can do better than adopt the following
language Of Ensign Spooner: .s
"fhings is movin on arter some sort of
a way, but not hardly so well as you perhaps
calkilate, seein the paines that's taken at
head quarters to let the people know what
they oughtt DO aboat 1ectfn' rrrsidcnt. a
The truth is, if we must speak out, we
think the whole thing is a downright shah
byaffair, and will come to no good. Those
lies about Gen. Pierce and the Religious
test, and the New Boston speech, would
have done very we'll, but the mischief is, no
body believes. them and then the poor con-
iemptible stuff about his lainting, and all
that. makes the people sick. The ..gunpow-
der" part Of the business is no 60, 1t would
have gone off in grand style. fit could only
once have been fairly set agoing. But thcrt'a
thcrdb 1.-The thing has been tried over and
overagain, but the people sron't take the en-
thusiasm any how 1t can be fixed. They say
every time they see any such attempt, they
keep thinking Of "Fuss ana Feathers all
the time, and they can't get enthusiastic.
And the pIcTERs. They don'tatake at all;
md we here again adopt the words Of Ensign
Spooner, bgreeing with him entirely, that
THE picter hsndbills hadn't ought to be gN'n
but on'y to people thai hain't larned how 10
read, and TO wimmin and lee.le childre ,tlat
has enuf influence over their husband fathers
to tease them to vote Tor Gineral Scott when
ii1eygo 10 the Poles TO eksersise the vally0-
BILE rite of, suariges. 5H
sAsito any prospect Of success, we think
there is just about as much Of that, as there
is Of Leslie Combs Ginning that creased pole
feet FOREMOST, about which he talked in for
ty-four, sss.f .''8 ilss APP "a
