ger-and we say IL Win tears IN our eyeS-lbe
loving Samese pair, that they were about this
time last year, when our Organ used to speak of
Sherrard "the gallant young standard hear
err, and apply to him all the flattering extravn-
ganzas that strong stomach could bear.
All this loving and fattcring, and plasterIng
has been hushed for months back, and instead
thereof, we have heard all sorts of covert nut
tiers, and growls, and sneers, yet nothing that
could be called an overt onslaught, until last
Friday, Cyes, on Good Friday, the day when
church going people were unusually forgiving,)
when the Organ cruelty kicked the memory Of
Congressman out of ITS sanctum: called him
"dole"ssaid he was no gentleman-migh go
to grass With his gingerbread crumbs Of public
printing, and all that sort of high tempered and
unchristianaike talk.
1t seems that sherrard is carrying on a war of
determination against the Organ, and hns taken
away, or attempted to take away, that portion
Of the public printing which the Administra-
ton gives it in return for its Aattering ntten-
tons
We must say that this was rathera stretch of
vengeance on the part of Sherrard: indeed it
would be much more dignified in him to be at
tending to his legitimate business, than to be
sitting down, like small school boy impnIing
flies on a pin, trying to torture the Organ
here. ~
Will "Justitia," the "keeper of the Kings
conscience" please tell US what is the matter,
anyway, with SherrardP
