Mr- Hooks says lc was amused with CUR

iarIy man, as some philosopher has said
! that man is the happiest who finds lis
source Of cnjoyment within himself This
Mr., EIooxs certainly does. although his
revels are amidst his OWN 9Th. The cars
that barked at him only exhibited an affini-
ty for their species-they we're not Of the
American party. The members OF that
party have too much pity for him, and
more contempt than pity The position
which Mr. Hooks now occupies. is not
an onviable enc, however amusing it may
be 10 HIM Sccurged into signing the frst
card-whirped into being the filthy sewer
through which his masters vomit forth their
vulgarity and abuse-the only reraration
they would accept for his treason-he now
appears in the attitude Of sycophant beg

his second-a privilege that was only "suf-

We are necessarily compelled TO sometimes,
as i's tie present 5astaacc, however great
our desire to avoid it. We are governed in
the selection of our tools by the the sub;ec.
We have to handle. He says We are quiet,
goOd-natured Du.chnaD bu: that we are
used as tool by every irresponsible scrib-
bier. Now this sort OF charge coming
from him. is bat another evidence Of the un-
blush;ng ilnpulence aith which he has been
known TO inquire of Democrats who signed
the call, IF they ha3 fund out act,

lie deny having solicited Alr D. IT. HAWKS
10 become q member Of the American Or
ganization,' and did he not also solicit Mr.
D. r. W1NN, to join the order, even after he
had signed the call,-afer the Democratic
Mass Meeting had been held,-and only a
few days before he published MS first card?
VIII he deny this, or was it too only joke?
We made these charges in reply to Mr.
HOOKS first card. but with all his buster
ing bravado he has net dared to deny them.
We reitcra;e them now, and he dare not de-
ny them.
IL his first card lie stated that from the
night OF his initiation 10 the time he signed
the call, he had not seen nor heard tell Of
a meeting Of The order How does this
statement comport with his soliciting others
to join it. and what induced him night after
aieht, 10 inquire of the zone who had been
TO Little Rock where the great Medicine
Bag IS kept whether there were to be anv
limitations, eyineing extreme anxiety to be
present at The ceremony. Does this look
as if he cared nothing about it. or had not
seen CT heard of a meeting from The night
OF his initiation to the time he signed the
call
We trust this brief notice Of Mr.. Hooks
second epistle, will have a tendency to re-
fresh bis memory. which seems to have
been somewhat treaeheroas On several points
and as he seems to be averse to be;nr
done up IN poetry, we hare endeavored to
eiothe it in language better adapted to his
understanding. We hope it will afford him
fully as much amusement as cur FIRST On.
