Neighboring POLITICS.

Attorney III Aileu CouhiyS aS"HiS' ~ Az
Lamison, the Democratic nominee. Mr..
G.. has tried 10 receive Office from the
Democracy regularly, and now as they DO
not appear 10 possess large confidence in
his merits, he is going TO try what little
Wing help and sustenance will do for
him. He thinks it's best TO have "two
strings" 10 his political bow, and cry
"Good Whig, good Democrat, do give
me an office!'' Besides, he is 10 be an
Alliance candidate! What a beautiful
medley! Well, if all the results of the
axertions of the Alliance is to be TO SUBJ
slitute ]. N. Gutiridge for G. N, Lamison,
the end will certainly honor the means!
If Mr.. Guttridge was The better lawyer
or the ADLER man, this effnrt might have
excuse, but as the most that his friends
can claim for him will be equality in this
respect, in our opinion Mr.. G. had better
consent for time 10 forego his anlici-
peted blushing honors, and seek for the
present
"The post of homer in private station"
But the Alliance men reject him, so
report says. His seems fovlorn case,
and it is very unfortunate that he de-
serves it should be so.
But a flood Of great men have visited
Allen county. II is said that Gen.
! Blackburn, who did not get the nomina-
;;on, proposes to forget his Democracy,
and 90 it on his own hook for Represen.
,alive., We think this report must be
slander. The Gen. has SO often sue
ceeded- d-hos received so much OF favor
from the Democratic party, that we can
not believe he now proposes 10 give it
n ''stab under the fifth rib,'' and like the
Italians be grateful only Tor favors to
i. come. If he should, however, it will no,
surpvize us. There is an egotsm that
gets into mems cranums, when too gen
erously dealt with by the people. that
| like rust corroding iron, eats the common
sense out oftheir minds. and then they
become independent candidates, imagine
the world would stand still if they did
not direct its motions, and the first sen.
:. sible idea they get is when the world has
clean left them, and that they stand
alone,
nWith none SO poor as do them reverence

Our old acquaintance, Rockhill, too, is
spoken Of as an independent candidate
fol Legislative honors. What principle
he proposes to sustain when he gets

learn, Notwithstanding he's ticketed a

Rockhill, it is true, makes very res
pectable Commissioner, and in the day
when politicians were judicialIy-if no
n in all cases judiciously-shelved, by Nv
and ihrees as Judges, might have locke

q Michael I.eatherman, too. Jovial Mike
The idol Of Jolly fellows! The trump 0
merry companions! He ,cil be Judg'
whether the Democracy are agreed O
not! Well, we don't blame him for liking
the position It's a good one, but hi
friends stuck well 10 him, and he shoul'

But ambition!
