4 from tnc last nuinDer OF the Udzelte II q p
pears that the Editor does not deem me 8,
l"unworihy of notice" as he had professed
but instead Of answering my charges agans,
Mr.. Shannon and the President, he contents
himself with whining about others and my
self abusing them, and, not only us--but h,
charges Devils with being engaged in ''injur
ing and wounding the feelings of the supper
tiers of the measure" AS have sought Other
associations than that Of "Devils," and do moi
know their opinions, cannot answer for then
but supposed that they were on the ohe,
side of the question. II the Editor of the
Gdzette will convince me that am wrong in
this suppositlon wiz inyesto change sides
for surely csanot cOnseHtt to cooperate with
them.
But, sir, has the Editor of the Gasetie d.
tempted to refute the charge that the Pres-
dent "would handsomely provide" for those
members Of Congress who should incur the
displeasure Of his constituents! Has he shown
that any considerable portion of the people
of this district were in favor Of the measure !!
How many petitions and petitioners entered
their protest against il! Where, | ask, was
the petition from this district, and who were
the petitioners that urged the passage Of the
infamous measure! 1f"Devils" do send Pc
tli!ons to Congress, would suppose the only
one for the Nebraska bill came from them.
have lately, Mr.. Editor, learned another
piece of history, if have not been msinform-
ed MIR. Shannon only had his place by agree
aent for one term, and was left to make the
most of it, was not pledged to anything by
his party, except to giye way to successor,
who in turn might do his best to obtain a
"handsome provisiop. This is "rotating" to
some purpose, and ai thefe are so many more
"pigs than teats" in the party, rotation has to
be carried on as fast as possible, with occa-
sionally, in great emergencies, "handsome
provision" in expectancy. Alasl Alas! for
the Jackson party! 1t has filled DR.. Frank
Inns description of Pr;de-"It Breakfasted on
Plenty, Dned on Poverty and Supped with
Infamy" Its Glory was false Glory-its
lights were false lights,-the measures pro-
jected and carried out by it were only to al
lure, deceive and betray-4-its banners now
trail in the dust and mud, and "none SO poor
as to do it reverence" except those who are
tugging at the "spoils" and are looking out
for the "hancsome provson.''
But"Bribery" to charge the Hon. Gov.
Wilson Shannon with taking Bribe, "is no!
classical" but is it true! we will see after
awhile. Was Edison B. Olds Jribed? Wha,
says the official listsof app ointmants to that
question!
"OFFIcIAL-Appointment By The President

Edison was the most conspicuous man in

concerned; could declare question carried

with him SO easily,---and has he not gooc

! proves it.
| The Gazette says, "The friends of the meas.
ure in and out of Congress, have pursued the
even tenor of ways, not even attempted a
/ public manifestation in its favor" Now this
is decidedly cool, "a very remarkable cohn-
cidence." The friends in Congress certain
! ly have pursued the even tenor of their ,rav,
and Edison D. Olds has pursued, and ouertaken
and got the spoil, and the people are looking
out anxiously to see what the other friends
got in their pursuit.
