What's the Matter?

/ The Advertiser says ef the victors IN
/ Portland that they "look aud talk as bit
terly as if there was a screw loose in their
triumph" The same is shockingly tue
in WaterslIe. Some whom we could
name have literally opened their mouths
for a stream Of profanity swearing worse
than the army in Flanders. Those who
are more morally inclined are looking
like a decoction OF gall and wornwood.
Now what is the matter. good friends 7
The Republican party bear their defeat
rs though sustained BY clear conscience,
while your victory makes you howl like
a nightmare We are used TO defeat,
and expect to live the longer and the bet.
ter for 1t but another victory will give
you the hydrophobIa, II II has no, done 81
now. Come. cheer up under your dis.
grace--Il such you feel it-and pray God
you may never suffer another SUCH
Wnte,rilie Mai!
The same bitterness is shown by the
Cooneats IN this region. We think the
mystery OF all this grumbling may be I'm.
favelled IN this wise.
There are many straight wings who
have been humbngg.d into fusing with
/ the wildcats, and who are now heartily
ashamed ii their company. Add to this
the fac, that Mr.. Morrill, is defeated By
only about FIVE thousand votes, and then
take into consideration the calculation OF
the wildcats that they could throw ten
thousand more votes agains, Morrill, than
almost any othe man. md the deductions
are fair tina, they are already an,ieipa.
ting Waterloo defeat next year. and this
! IS why they growl and look so ugly when.
ever they chance TO NEE, an American
or Republican.

We have frequently spoken in com,

conclude that No. 9 is decidedly a capi.

Of her drawing water from the river and
we,ting the eagle upon the liberty pole
Since then we understand they have
thrown stream some fifteen feet above

earnestly hope it may be capable Of draw
