| Again the editor say: 81
1t may be true that here at h"m,, on the
| day of election, the editors voted for him, b'i'
here, the friends of Iudge Clark We're on the
alert"
We thank you for concediny thus much,
although we presume you would not have d me
1t, had we no, voted an open tickle: and wnrke d
all day at the polls.
TIE "contrig dy" as they are termed, W re
legion in tbs same service at the polls, while
We saw bu, enc man, " 10 might be regard. d
As particularly friendly TO Judge Clark's noni-
nation, dong good service. We chrertu.ly
admit he las,red mlnfu.ly the day through, Tor

50 much FOR this.
but Of what av,il were their presence al
i the ,ils. after having done al they could do

sentative in e n-rss'' Ayc d d not some OF
them OF the cay Of electi " proclaim boldly
that n" De.nocra, ouyh to vote for Judge Clark,
| and yet they clarn & have done their duty, and
,aunt US ,caus, J.ckson County ha- gone
xanst him, az if the votes Of that county were
in cur keeping
The question is asked, "of what avail were
their presence at the polls''' We refer you to
the result OF the bl;loting in this Township and
then sub nit The fallown. enquiry. Where va,
the editor Of The Herald and some 6feen or
twenty others, wh, constitute the ea1al OF that
concern, that they were n t laborin1 in the cause
and nanfnliy 6ghtinl for 'od old democratic
principles! Let him answer il he can.
1t is infatuated that ali, who were not friend.
| ~ t. the nomination Of Judge CLARK, applaudrd
t,e speech Of John r. Cook. This is equally
absurd and ridiculous, with the sta e .nrnt.
winch precede it. which could if necessary, be
sabs,antiated BY fifty good men, who were pres
eat. Bot one man uttered word, which could
by any possib lily be tortured into an approval
Of his speech, which was subsequently, FULLY
and satisfactorily explained TO the democratic
Ass cia,ion, and the burden Of odum, which a
few personal and political enemies, had sought
to fasten upon him, was honorably and gener
ously removed.
The Express criticised Mr.. Cooks speech in
the very strongest tc rms; ., str ing in fact, that
many were disposed TO think tina. we done
the man injus ice.
How then can the Herald man with any per-
tnancy, ask the following que iion' did
they not applaud every sentiment ofhis Cork y
rhiei, reflected upon the conduct OF Judge
Cha. K as Representative in Congress.
1t unnecessary to spend further words with
this man of the Herald, because his trade is mis-.
r'pre sentation and he has been too lony at it
i'd become too expert to abandon now. We
h md him over to the counsels of the wise and
careful hush ,ndry OF his resources.
