Mr.. Editors see from the las. Cleveland
Banner that the editor has "caved in," with
out attempting to prove his assertions, or to
dsprove mine. Why did he not call on the
good Democrats named, and let them state
the facts in the easel He knew that they
would fix the falsehood on him, hence he
backs square out, but lacks the mahliness to
make the amende honorable also find from
the last Banner that another champion has
entered the ring, pretending to hail from
Cantrelfs X Roads, and signing his name IAN
Enquirer After Truth" Now, this Is very
pretty name, but not appropriate to the arti'
Gle to which IL is attached. This "Cross
Roads politician" was very careful not to en-
dorse the assertions Of the editor of the Ban
ner, but after various surmises he charges
that "Anti. Convention" is the author Of an
article that appeared in the rost some weeks
ago, signed Monroe" Now, I pronounce
this false charge, without the shadow OF
foundation, and l call upon AN Enquirer
After Truth" to sustain his charge or have
the honesty to withdraw it. In alluding to
the confusion and excitement In regard TO
the nomination of Floater, he says that "two
zig large wolves can make more noise than
forty dogs" That may be true, and two big
large wolves" can whip forty common dogs
such as are whining and yelping through the
columns of the Cleveland Banner. If can
Enquirer After Truth" was really as "bg
large" as he is in his own estimation, McMinn
Polk and Meigs would scarcely contain him
Twins, you will have to smack that "chap,
and have him held out again.

w- What a glorious thing is occupatic

icy What glorious thing is occupation
for the human heart! Those who work
hard seldom yield themselves up to fancied
or real sorrow. When grief sits down, folds
its hands, and mournfully feeds upon its
own tears, weaving the dim shadows, that n
little exertion nigh. sweep away, into flu
neral pail, the strong spirit is shorn of its
might and sorrow becomes our MASTER
When troubles flow upon you, dark and
heavy, toll not with the waves-wrestle not
with the torrent Rather seek, by occupa-
ton to divert the waters that threaten 10 over
whelm you into thousand channels, which
the duties of life always present. Before
you dream of it, those waters will fertilize
the present, and give birth TO fresh flowers
that may brighten the luture-flowers that
will become pure and holy, in the sunshine
which penetrates to the path of duty, in spite

who yields himself to the indulgence of any
passion which brings no joy to his fellow
men.
