Mr.. Tuttle,s EndOrser.


ping the "rosy god," he again enters the
sanctum, apparently with the determna-
ton Of proving how "big an ass" he can
write himself, ere his poor sheet dies a
natural death. We pity our cotempora-
ry of the Democrat. The sockdologer he
received at the last county convention
was too heavy for his senitive nerves-he
couldn't stand it. He fell out with Democ-
cracy and was shortly seen "hail fellow,
we'll met with old Bacchus," and while
chuming it with the old fellow, paid us
visit, at which time he informed us that
he (the Editor of the Democrat,) was the
author Of lying communication signed
Woodvi|le, and that he had 'made un-
founded charges against us for fun, just
to see what we would say" And we
presume this is the principle upon which
he is now acting. He makes charges
without proof to substantiate his false
assertions. We have called upon him for
proof, but with the true characteristic Of
Broderickite, he goes on swearing white
is black and black is white, with all the
mock gravity imaginable. No assertion
is too low or contemplate for him to
make. He is hired to do dirty work and
seems to have entered upon his task with
right good will. This may appear
strong language, but nevertheless true.
We have desired the Editor of the Demo-
crat to name the time, place and men, in
the trumped up Mad Canon delegate
affair. But he gives it silently the go-by,
satisfied with making dirty charge, al
though unable in fair and manly manner
to prove it true-and so with other charges
he has made which he now passes silently
by.
When he has cleared up what he began
and what we have challenged him to
prove, then there are other matters which
we will investigate with him. In due
time we may have to over haul "Long
Canon" ascertain by what authority a
bogus County Judge can make the county
pay the fees in his private law suits,
whether or not a Sheriff is entitled to re-
ceive from his deputy collectors more
than the per centage allowed him by law.
and whether the money collected for taxes
should be paid into the Treasury imme-
diately, so that those holding county
orders could get their cash, or whether
the collections should be idle in the hands
Of the collectors two 70 three months at a
time. Yes these are interesting subjects,
and may elicit considerable information.
."-The croaker of the De-
mocrat is still harping about boilers, as if
he would scare men from their indepen-
dence and propriety by the simple cry
The day has come when it has lost its
terror. Freemen can be shackled by it
no longer. No party rules can bind any
man to support rascal for office, and he
who attempts to compel the people to do
it in this day of intelligence and progress
reckons without his host. Men are not
to be bound and led to the polls like slaves.
Freemen under free government ex-
ercise the right of thinking and acting for
themselves.
The cry of bolter comes with poor
grace from any Broderickite at this late
day. During the Legislature of 1851 it is
we'll known that Mr.. BroderIck bolted
the regular nomination for United States
Senator. And a few days ago, at the
State Convention, after the call to order,
this same Mr.. b., could recognise only
Vermeule, an abolition bolter, who stump
ed it against Bigler last fall, and who, ac-
cording to the expressed belief of the
Editor of the Democrat, in regard to such
men, should not have been allowed a seat
in the State Convention. Yet in all the
primary management of that body we find
him Broderick's right hand man and chief
spokesman.
Upon an investigation of this boiling
business, it proves something like spot
and kettle" But we think the Broderick-
ties little the blackest, from their having
the chief of Boilers as their leader, and
the wholesale manner in which they bolt
