We are just fresh O. from contact with
this weeks Bugle, and, though we feel that
such matter should not be stirred, we can
not forbear saying word to those whose
nostrils may be offended by such vileness.
We will not attempt to measure oyster-knires
with the author Of certain article, headed
'sthe County Judgeship," tor it is self.evi-
dest that he was born within the sinking
purlieus of Billingsyate 6sh-market, and is
at no loss for either filthy epithets or the
unblushing effrontery to use them. But for
the branding Of q certain falsehcod by I'M
pHcation only, we are willing to give this
scullion of the Bugle, a brief audience
We say ga faisehood by implication only"
for mark you, he does not say that that So
called Democratic convention was fairly
conducted, and was what it purported to be,
and what a majority of the Democrats pres
ent say it uas not. Wc will not say that he
dare not say all this, because we know that
he dare lie, and dare eat his o1cn cords, and
he dare do and say anything low and dis
dishonest when surrounded by the eorrnp-
ton and rottenness of the Bugle sanctum.
But dare he face any one OF number
of honest democrats who heard him rave,
and say that he did not impugn the action
of that convention, and say that it was "a
swindle and cheat"-that it was ga pack
cd concern" and moreover, that che uould
not be governed by such foul conspiracy
to detraud honest me,l?" Can he dare he
deny all this outside Of the malisn inau-
ence of the Bugle Office? Mr.. NrE did 60
into that convention, and saw himself swim
dled-an initiatory step to swindlins the
people Of the county. And who were his
supporters before that Convention. The
Senior Editor of the Bugle sleeps nightly
with one of his warmest hackers, and now,
Judas like, has for few pieces of silver,
betrayed his master.
As to Mr.. KSEPPEK, we would willingly
say everything good of him, and sincerely be-
lieve he is too much of a gentleman to en-
dorse the low slang of his turnkey. The main
objections we have to him to the Judgeship,
are that he is the candidate of the county
b!oodsuckers-men who have heretofore
borrowed the funds OF the county at low
rates, and rc-let it to the people, tits right
full owners,) at forty per cent. By such men
he is imported from another county, just in
time to become citizen, and candidate
for the most responsible Office of this eoun-
ty; and we cannot but presume that he is
brought forward as the tool of these men,
with which they are to continue sapping the
treasury.
Voters af Pottawattamie, it stands you in
hand to look to it, choose yc between this
man and Mr.. NYE, who comes forward at
the solicitation of his democratic friends
men who will not sell their birth-right for
a mess of pottage. Choose We between Mr..
NyE the candidate by reclamation of a large
and enthusiastic meeting Of the citizens of
old Pottawattamie, and Mr.. kSEPPER, the
chosen instrument of a corporaPs guard of
lnHshes, who have thus far fattened upon
ne spoils Of Office.
Leander swan the Hellespont, but was
drowned at last; and Lysander is destined
to follow his example in the lnky sea of
iniquity and rascality. ''Drowning men will
catch at a straw" as witness these foul as
spersions of man whose integrity AID
ability they know and fear.
Voters, come up to the work on the first
Monday in August, and let US show these
political hucksters the power of honest men.
Let us take the County pap out of their
and drive them to their dens to
suck their own paws.
