Don't Get NTad.-It's Use an the World,
The Herald of last Wednesday is about the most
snappish specimen of periodical literature that we
have seen for some time 1t feels beaten, and is mad
about it. It don't take it philosophiealiy Of all
What can't be cured must be endured, and the Her
aid knows well as anybody, that the Scott party
in this State is destined to most overwhelming de-
feat 1t knows as we'll anybody that Wing ascend
ency in this State is gone forever and cannot be re-
stored. It knows that at the recent election, a
most desperate effort was made by its party, and it
knows the result too. Knowing all this, it might
just as we'll submit with good grace. 1t knows
that many Wings who supported Kerr, will either
not vote at all in November will cast their votes
for Pierce and King. Why don't ii keep cool! That
barque load of ice has arrived.
1.-The Loco Foco Came is the euphoneous title of
the first good-nature article in which the demo-
Gratis, politely denominated 'loco focos aecus-
ed of playing very naughty game of some kind,
to carry the State for Pierce and King the truth of
the matter being, we believe, that the Democrats
insist that SCOTS unpopuarity must have had some-
thing to do with the defeat of Mr.. Kerr by some
six thousand votes,-an increase of full three thou
sand over Mr.. Manlys defeat. although MIR. Manly
was unpopular, and MIR. Kerr claimed to he the
most popular whig in the State Is not the infer
ence drawn by the Democrats, natural and unavoid-
able p?
The next amiable effusion is preceded by ex-
tract from article in the Journal, headed On,
Stanly, On - which the editor of the Herald think
eth outra geous- The inference which the Herald
draws from coupling the names of Edward STAN
ly and Fred Douglass is if not outra geouS at least
foolish and nonsensical. We included them in the
same category not for the purpose of conveying the
impression that they had been holding actual fellow
ship; but because of Mr.. Stanlys acting in such a
politically TO assimilate his political
to that of Fred. Douglass. If gentlemen don't like
to be classed with Fred. Douglass, let them not act
in such manner to make the classification inc
vitable. We never said Mr.. Stanly vouches for the
Pittsburg Convention, and therefore the righteous
indignation of the Herald is rather useless expen-
diture of-gaS.
And again at the head of the second column, the
Herald makes an extract from an article of ours
headed " No Co." in which we accuse the whig
press of trying to throw the blame of defeat Mr..
Kerrs shoulders, and thus makes him the scape
goat for the sins of the party The Herald desires
to know ~ who among the wings has ever said one
tions to promote the whig cause For an answer,
would refer him to the article from which his
extract is TAKEN in which we state that We'll
don correspondent of the Norfolk Herald had don
So The correspondence will be found in the
Norfolk and Portsmouth Herald of Friday or Sat
urday. But in truth is not the whole shifting
and maneuvrng of the whig press to shield
Gen Scott an attempt to cast the blame Mr..
Kerr But two things could have affected the cleo
tion--State politics or National politics-Mr. Kerr
was the embodiment of the first, Gen. Scott of the
second. IT, as the wing press claims, Gen. Scott
had nothing to do with the matter that the whole
crushing defeat must be laid at Mr.. Kerr's door,
which we think is unj Just and ungrateful towards
that gentleman.
But the Herald's next piece is funny. Tt is about
Lewis Fl. Pierce and Franklin Pierce and a Bruins
wick Democrat, who mistook one for the other. II
is decidedly original and we think this is not more
than the third or fourth time that the Herald has
convulsed its readers with excruciating witticisms
upon the same subject. Does the Herald remember
1914, and the BOBBY question then put in derisior
by the wings, and does it also happen to remember
the answer which the people gave at the polls.
Will the Herald be good enough to state whether
the extract from the Manchester Democrat, and the
| Independent Democrat, about Gen1 Pierces New
Boston speech, have not been sent out under tn
frank of Messrs. Stanly and Collum, in connecio,
with the documents for which these Congressman
more directly vouch; and whether these affair
have not thus been indirectly endorsed How mucl
this roundabout way of insinuating SANDER mend
the matter, cannot see. Perhaps the Heral
can. We like men to come right out.
AS for other great and manifold sayings of thu
Herald, and dongs thereof against the loco focos
are they not to be found in the 1921 No. of tn
same
!. On. Staniy, On!
We learn that Immediately pending the e!ectio
here this section actually flooded with all mar
ner of documents under Mr.. Stanly's frank, an
