The next individual who made an
abor,ive attempt to deliver himself
ola speech, WAS one Rufus Lin derman
a perfect political, nonlcscript, who
has pretended to maintain neutral
position during the present campaign,
but has, in fact, been astride OF rail
fence, vaciIlating between all three Of
the presidential aspirants, as their pros
poets frightened or darkcned in the
political horizon but after the news
of the Maine election had reached his
ears-imagining that the woody horse
would win the race-he hoped off
from his uncomfortable position on the
fence, and fell into the Shiny embrace
of Black Rcpublicanism, his fitting
and appropriate sphere. When the glo
rious news froInPennsylvania andlndia-
ma made din about his ears he regret
ed his very premature decision, which
took him about five months to form,
aud would gladly have resumed his in
vulnerable position upon the aforesaid
rail fence but as he had become some
what csilous rom long sitting astride,
and no he had too far committed him
self to rctract consistently, he was obi
ged to remain among his losthsome
associates. The burden of his remarks
were that he had never before made
political speech, and considered him
self incompetent TO do so-a fact sutfi
GENTLY pspable and conspicuous to the
audience without this humiisting ad
mission.
