The CloYen Foot.

In spite OF all precantion, the spurious
Ellsworth Herald has failed to conceal
its cloven foo:. We have all along said
that it was fos,ered and encouraged by
the enemies Of the American cause. Yet
for saying this we have been denounced
as "slanderer and mischief maker. :"
But knowing as we did, that its columns
we're made up almost entirely from the
columns Of the Daily Mercury, that con-
sequently i, gave only old news, las for
instance last week; the American had
one week later foreign news than the
Herald) and such editorials as were writ
ten principally for the readers of the Mer-
curry, we felt confident that there could
not be very sound American doctrine
emanaie from such a source. Besides,
the Mercury has been an avowed opposer
of the American movement even since it
originated. We find the following edi-
torial in the spurious Herald Of last week:
MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR.
A despatch to the morning papers an
ounces the failure Of an election of Sen
ator in the Mass. Legislature yesterday,
by a vote OF 1877 10 l35 the elec was
postponed one week Mr. Wilson was
nominated in caucus bu, it would seem
that pledges and oa,hs are not sufficient
to hold the Know Nothings to the noml-
nation. Ii there is trouble in making the
members of the new party ",oe the
mark at this early day, we may look for.
ward TO its speedy decease.
This shows the cloven foot beyond all
doubt. But We will do the Herald folks
the justice TO say that this item doubtless
erept in by mistake. |, was written for
the readers OF the Mercury. bu, in max
ing up the form for the Herald, a shor,
item was wanted to fill gu, the fourth
column of the second page. and as this
would JUS, DO ii, in the hurry OF the mo.
ment was put in. Verify i, is hard 10

Hon. James Harlan, the Senator elect
from Iowa TO succeed A. c. Dodge, was
twice a candidate for the office Of Super.
,ntendan, Of Public instruction, each
time elected by the people and cheated

ptetences. Some Of the county clerks
wrote his name Harlin, and the Secreta.

off the bonds laid upon them by Demo-

place to Mr.. H. is a gentleman we have
