An Earnest Gall 10 u Pcrvcrsc Genera

ton.
THE ORGAN is almost in despair ITS wailings
come to US daily, with tone of anguish tha;
seems as lororn and hopeless as the cry OF
those who feel that they are utterly and without
remedy lost and ruined forever. There is terror
aud dismay depicted in its every act and in all
its uterancc. Il longs for assistance, but it looks
in vain for a helping hand-ior solitary ray of
comforting and cheering light. The signs OF the
times arc dark and portcntons. The great po-
,ical crimes of the party it belongs to, body and
soul are about to be visited with their proper
and inevitable penalty. The Organ howls and
wrthes at the mere threatening aspect of the
skies. The storm popular indignation Is I'M
pending overit, and its party, and it can dis
cover no mode of possible escape. The old IA
miliar machinery of the party no longer works
as was expected. and only produces greater dis
order and confusion They have looked for
bredd but they have got nothing so good rs
stone instead. They have pursued iniqnity bold
ly and insolently, because they thought success
certain and defeat impossible They never had
anv character to lose, Disgrace and dishonor
arc no punishment to them. They wear their
robes of shame openly and with ease. They
| find nothing uncomfortable in them. Bat to be
kicked oat of the place of honor ;hey have usurp-
cd, to be cast back into the mire whence they
came, to be deprived Of the "i;.t of the land" in
which they have rio;cd, to be barred the privi-
lege of p,ucking the public purse at pleasure, this
! is indeed calamity 10 the whining ORGAN and
I its political associates! This touches them to
| the quick. This is an attack that reaches vi al
1 part. This, and this only can they .tce' And
this it Is that causes their knees to ,temblc, and
their brazcn coun;enance to pale with fear.
1t is not wonderful that Tie Grgan has SC
much aflectionatc counsel for the Germans just al
present. No one need be aStonshcd at its long
homilies about the duty Of democrats 1t cannot
be doubted that it is in earnest when it call:
upon the dearly beloved party TO be sure and dc
all that can be Gonc, to secure its triumph in tn,
approaching contest. It's equally sincere in 1t:
dread and in its hatred of that union of oppoSl
ton clements which it denounccs so fcariully un
der the name of Fusion 1t is perfectly candi,
in its apprehension of the danger before it, The
dear party must be sustained it thinks or els,
some people will be in desperate circumstances
The country, will be safe, no doubt. but tie os
gan and its friends will be consigned to their prop
cr and natural condition They will sink in''
the ditch they have themselves dug, there to re
main, it is TO be hoped, forever. Really, the Ga
) zettc is an object Of pity, Compelled TO tollo'
| in the wake of the small frv politicians, to CT
. dorsc principles, actions and men, it has thoE
sand times hcralied as wrong and corrupt, to bt
come party toa strife for o.iicc, at the cxpens
OF right, truth, Justice, and the country, and
do this knowingly if this be not ahjectness th
most ptiable, treason to the cause OF hoho
= the most despicable, we really don't kno
! what is
