handed us for publication by its author, a Ger
man Democrat:
TFcr the Journal.1
Mr.. SANpERs:-I beg you to have the kind
ness to publish in your paper the following re-
marks to the Enquirer's essays:
The Enquirer, or Mr.. Hall, or probably MT /
A. IT. Whittlesv, hears it rumored that Capt. i
w. 81. Erskine, of Centre Township, is IN the
field as a candidate for County Commissioner.
Mr. Hall can't say whether it is true; but; IL
so; then tremendous SECRET effort VIII De
be made to elect him. Is there no friendly
hand to lead him out of his blind darkness?-t
Mr. Hall further 'has not yet heard who the
Know Nothings intend running as candidate
for the office of County Surveyor"
To him ut seems their policy to keep Mr.
Adlersberg in the field, and thus divide the
anti-K Know Nothing vote.''
And Mr.. Hall ''does not or caunot believe
that the Germans will vote for Adlersberg"
Truly, Mr.. Hall, this is rich-rather little
too much so. You cannot believe that the
Germans will vote for Adlersberg, for-hear!
hear!l-"it will weaken the confidence Of the
Democracy in them, which is the only party
on which they can depend" Globe surely and
certainly fooled, SUPPOSE Now tell me
honestly, Mr. Hall, as gentleman and not
as the instrument of sfew Democratic %
Ileaders-do you really believe what you say!
1t can't be, for you don't think that the Ger
mans will always submit to your dictation?-
If they would do this, why, they would better
elect you and those few other Democrats G?
at once, to appoint all officers in future anc
thereby save them the trouble of electing sucf
themselves for so many times year. AS fol
the ridiculous rumor of Mr.. Whittlesy ap
pointing Mr.. Saunders for his deputy, this wa
: done by your intimate friend L. Maybe tina
he was, as usual, under the influence Of liquo
when he said it, but he put the rumors afioat
You call on your friends to do their duty
Don't doubt, Mr.. Hail. that they nil do thei
duty; but you mistake if you think that you
, conduct makes you other than enemies among
the Germans, for they don't allow anybody t
e impose upon them SO dishonesty. Butexcus
r the word dishonesty. You might think tina
G your advice is good and honest, for there is
: certain class of men, who tell so often and s.
e long, one and the same lie, that at last the,
believe it themselves. The Germans and man,
i others will not vote for Know Nothing, a
e you yourself desire them, and Mr.. A. I
n Whittlesy is Know Nothing, or at least wa
0 one until lately. The Germans and grea
many others will also not vote for Son G
: Temperance, and Mr. 4. T. Whittlesy wa
one until lately The Germans as well as a
I men who act according to their own judgmen
will not vote for man who does not under
stand or know the business that he will b
elected for, and Mr.. A. T. Whittlesey does nc
q understand it.
g Before the convention was held you sale
i that anybody who would oppose the nomins

y threat, or else you. might have known that 20

such absurd threats. Or is it the so Gale

T. that they may make use of you But, any
L how, your reasoning reminds me of the follow
!, ing verse of Burns:
l. "Whqt Of Earis with whom you have supped.
And of Dukes that you dined with estere'en;
Lord, louse sir, is still buta louise,
Though it crawls on the eurls of Queen"
a Surely, Mr.. Hall, you can't kill anybody
$ and no matter what you will say about Nj
n Adlersberg you can only abuse but not injur
|, him. And as for your scorn, sir-poor scorn
: Burns says:
y "Like Esop's Lion sore feel
: All others scorn--but damn that ass heel'
