v, We ieIt bad enough. in ali CON
sciener, at the late terrible defeat of the
Wing party, but wo feel still wore und
more embarrassed now nt the exsiei &C
Of bitter feuds aud the fearful quarrel
ling spirit. of an exceedingly angry ma
ture, which 10 already manilcsied among
our opponents. Nothiag should reign
among them now but broihcrly lovo
and the kindcst oi feelings but instead
or this, they are calling each other, in
this town, terribly hard names, and are
violently disputing as TO who has been
the most faithful to the party, who has
spent the most money in the caute, and
who has rendered the longest and most
devoted service to the unterrfied De-
tnocracy. Councils OF war have already
been held, and some action taken IN the
matter. We really supposed that now
the contest was over, and our party was
defeated, zoe should be allowed little
repose ia order to recruit for the Spring
campaign for the State election but
We shull not realize any such hattering
hopes. Our friends among the locoio-
cos are already pouring in upon us,
and invoking our aid and counsel in
,heir troubles, - and as we are natural
ly kind. d.hear,ed, and always disposed to
aid friend in trouble, we presume that
We shall have TO come to the rescue
throw open our columne IN behalf o.
our lavoriies, and work right earnestly
TO secure their appointment The ioi-
lowing gentlemen have been nearly
agreed on for the two most important
Offices in town,-Post Master, George
Turner Collector, Stephen P. Slocum.
The following are also talked oi,-ior
Naval Officer, Milton Hall Surveyor,
George c. Shaw; Inspector, Daniel
Brown; Penny Post, Thomas Cutter
Now we are rather IN favor Of all these
gentlemen for she respective Offices
named. Their CLAIMS cannot be over
ooked, and we can consciea'ion5'y urge
their appointment. Nj Turner has
sometimes taken an active part IN poll
tics, and sometimes he hIs remained ha
dormant as a.hy in ia winter quarters.
He defended Dorr on his trial Tor Irca-
sou, and he is an Eiector,--tDese are
enou gh to support HE elaine. Mr.. So
cum is u thorough-going, energetic par
" man; he Bhoulteyed ms musket IN
1912 and went 10 Chepatchc, with the
Iascaiiy Algerines TO help shoot down
that immaculate patriot Dorr and h'o
virtuous and exemplary associates
This, surely il enough to sustain his
claim besides, Stephen has spent
good deal Of money for the party. Our
Milton needs no endorsement he has
repeatedly boxed the political compass,
made speeches in behalf Of Clay, Har-
rison, Van Burcn, Polk, Taylor and
Pierce D.; he is an orator Of nafur, and
10 the most eloquent and stirring speak
Or in the party, in this part Of the State.
He is our iavorite, is \ good-hearted,
pleasant man, and we shall endorse his
elaine against any other man IN the
party. Mr.. Shaw has been true to his
party, is a worthy end competent man,
although he does no, love all the brcih-
ren 40 he should. Daniel Brown is
worthy Of all honors; he is dyed-in-'he-
wool Ioeoioco, Of the most genuine
stamp he was the first martyr to Dor
yism, was indicted for Treason, and COLI
seQuently was frightened almost out Of
existence, backed out Of his position,
swore allegiance to the State, has been
a missionary at Block Island for the
last twenty years, is as sly as his Sa'
tsnic majesty, and is abundantly deser- =
wing Of the Office which he desires
Thomas Gutter deserves well OF the
party, for he has been one OF the most
consistent OF it's members {; he has
fought for his country, hurrahed for is
party, and performed good service for
she Wings by selling Providence pa
per alt during the campaign. He has
worked grea, deal for us and we have
always found him honest and trusi-wor-
thy. About year ago he disabled
himself for hard work, by falling down
stairs and breaking his arm while ell
gagged IN the audable work OF selling
Christian Almanacs!
These are the candidates whom we
prefer, and who will receive our sup
port and when we hear other gentle
men named for other Offices, We shall
make our selections from the most de-
serving. We have no selfish motives in
this matter, as every one is aware but
our mission is one Of love and disinter-
ested philanthropy, for the Bible com
mands us to feed the hungry, and heav-
en- knows the unterrifcd are hungiy
enough for the loaves and fishes from
the Government table. We know that
ouiopponents are in fearful trouble,
and ,ha, they are calling each other
very hard names we shall endeavor TO
reconcile the family difficulty, and our
e..orts will be entirely Ola pacificalory
nature. Owing to these feuds IN the
party, we have concluded not to take
passage up Salt River quite yet, but
shsll remain at home to prepare for the
