OUR AMiABtR NEIGHRoE.- Itis really laugh
able to watch the wiacings of the apparent;
~ uneasy little gentleman who has control
of the Eagle. Every time our battery Is
termed In that direction he exhibits some
new trait of character. One week he viii
declare the Wing party dead and buried, and
the next week, with equal gusto, he gives
currency to the startling Intelligence mat
the Gazette editor is "killing" it!--just as
though the Wing party had as many lives as
a Tom cat or DIR. olds:a He has been very
vigilent in watching the "diverslhed inter-
ests, of the Wing party, and occasionally
interests his readers by harPlng on the
treachery olthe Gazette editor, and displays
his consummate ignorance by contradicting
his own statements in every thing he has at
tempted to say ina political point OF view
He declares that the Gas. editor has sold out
the Wing party to the AbOlitionists, and
forthwith enters a TRADE of abuse against
such d course. Yet at the same time he is
very lavish in p~raising the acts Of the pres
emit A administration, an Administration that
turned out Judge Bronson, not that he was
nothonest, capable, and popular as public
officer, but because he would not show more
favor to the free soil faction OF the L9cofoco
party than 10 the old line Democrats who
stood up for Cass in is4s. An administra-
ton that has made itself notorious by bring
ing to its support the whole Free Sou Van
Buren, Dynasty ard awarding them at the
expense of the old line Democracy. Would
any one want better evidence of the Free
Soil prepensities of the Eagle editor'
The fact is he has studiously endeavofed
TO direct public attention from his own ma
noeyreings, and whenever we attempted to
direct public attention to his course he
would invariably answer our charges by
abusing us and our motives. But as yet he
has been totally unable to sustain a single
charge he has ever made against us. What
he saws in one weeks issue is sure to be
eontradicted in the next. In one article he
will declare that our Free Soil propensities
secured to Lewis his large VOTE. and then
tarns right and gives the lie to his as
serions something after the following fash
ion:
No doubt Medill is elected by 80 to Co.,
GOO majority over Barrere, as many thou
sand Wings have voted for Lewis on the
Tempe rance question:"
Now it is evident, from the above, that
The editor Of the Eagle knows full well that
Lewis,large vote is alone attributable to the
fact that he was a staunch apd a warm
friend of;the Maine Law. There were five
other candidates onthe Free Soil ticket,the
average vote for which was but 34,436, and
which shows the strength of their party in
the State. Take this vote from the 5o,34t
votes thatMr. Lewis receivedandi it will leave
nearly $1,000 votes, nearly all of which
were temperance Wings.
To show still further the recklessness OF
his charges he says that only nine out OF 8s
counties went for Barrere. ltisa matter
of but little consequence, as any man OF th'
least intelligence knows the statementto OF
false. Ashtabula, Carroll, Clarke, Fayctte
Gallia, Geauga, Green, Harrison, Lawrence
Logan, Madison, Miami, Preble, Union ant
Warren, fifteen counties, gave mojoritles To-
Barrere over Medilb although ofthese count
les Ashtabula and eauga gave mnjorities TO
Lewis. We only make this statement t
show how much reliance-can be placed up
on any thing that appears in the Eagle il
the shape ofan editorial.
