from Drew county.
 MR. EDIroR--Hoping that the recent tornado. that made such devastation over our sun-glad- doned zone, did not capsze your establishment, permit me to inform the natives that we are all still on the inclined plains oi human existence, able to devour all that providence allows us.
 The old mariner, when he sees with prac- ticed eye the distant swell of the ocean, very readily anticipates storm, and puts his vessel in trim for the contest between the heavens and seas. It is not unreasonable then to suppose that those who have been accustomed to the storms on the political ocean and on the look out for squall from the vast crowd of birds of strange plumage, that have gathered in the horizon, never known to go far from shore only to ride in on the gentle gale that precedes the tempest, will prepare for the coming contest
 You have probably seen in the Gazette, over the signature of Osoro, a magnificent exhibi- tion of prostituted learning, in which he prates largely on the downfall of democracy in Drew The communications of Jahn s. "Osorio {" are living rebuke to the adage that folly ceases with youth, or that selfrespect and decencv are the natural concomitants of old age But the readers of the communications of Osorio have in all probability, learned two things: First that some men are great i'll small things and small in great ones. Second, that some folks are smarter than others any how. If you will recollect, this same John s. Osorio | always has something to say about a certain individual he is pleased to call BlN He seems to be desirous that Bill should be known abroad. But l imagine that Bill is satisfied of the fact that men have been known to wear them selves out laborlng for the good of others, and died unwept. Spaniels have been known to wear themselves out barking at the passing throng without doing any harm to the most detenceleSs creature, save an occasional cru sade into hens nest. Bill may be in posses sion of another fact, and that is the influence of John $. w. Osorio never extend much farther than the concentrated essence of "pole cat" Osoro, however, is entitled to great respect. since he is not only disciple of Christopher and Solon, but also of Licurgus. There is no sort of doubt but he would have been greater man than he is, but for the fact that in early youth he contracted something like dyspepsia of the brain. The disease has baffled the skill of the most ckillful. All the nutrlment that is taken into his grasping mind is digorged in the same undigested state as be- fore the act of degluttion.
 The pratings of Osoro about democracy be- ing about to expire IS all specimen of his sincerity, as he never suffers those little things called the dellcacies of coscience to annoy him like they do some men. From what can see, by standing outside of the ring the Know No- things have the most hatterng prospect of getting knocked into eternal smash about Au- gust and November. If democracy dies at that time she will breathe her last in the arms of the most brilliant and unparalleled victory recorded since her march began. You may set Drew down as democratic, and bet your life on it, if you are disposed to sport. You will see their resolutions approving the course of !. R. Royal, an independant democratic candidate, and recommending his claims to the Know Nothings of the county. Since the se- crecy has passed away they cant keep anything. It leaked out some how that they told that person if he would not run for Judge against their man, that they would all support him for the le-isature, as they were too weak to run man of their own. Not JaH sense hat
 Osoro is a candidate for the high and lu- crative office of school commissioner; he had to have some nomination or not write for the Gazette. With Osoro and the invncible par son at their head they threaten us with trip to the head waters of Salt River, but in the language of John the Baptist, who's afraid All the spleen of Osoro will be wasted; he had as we'll vent 1t at some one that is vulnerable to the efervescence of dupes; it will fall at Bills feet, as he seems to be the object of his vengeance, brutsn tu7naen.
 Yours in haste, MILO.
