battle of 1860 !!

Froad FRoAD 1t is we'll known
that the editor of the Tribune, before the
election, was a candidate for another posi-
ton at Madison this winter, and that any
Thing from errand boy to sergeant at arms
would be acceptable. But the large Dem
ocratic vote of Manitowoc has killed off
the Generals prospects, as the Republicans
throughout the State will now perceive
that the influence of himself and paper ex-
tends only as far as Cato But to cover
up his shortcomings, and cheat his politi-
cal friends, he begins to cry fraud, and &C
tually accuses the Election Board of Two
Rivers, which is comprised Of Republicans,
of playing unfair at the Election. The
truth is, General, you're green, and you
can't get any office, no-how. Mr.. WHIT
COMB and bis Republican colleagues estab-
lished the poll at Two Creeks, and it is
supposed for the express purpose OF defeat
ing RANKIN But the game WASH play
ed, and now by abusing your Republican
friends, and accusing them Of fraud, we
doubt whether your chances are as good
as they were before.

LATE FOREIGN NEWS.
Wreck of the Ship Royal Charter!
NEARLY EoUR HUNDRED LIVES LosTr

MONTREAL, Nov. 9TH, 1859.
The following important item Of news is
from the Liverpool Daily Post of Oct 81,
copy of which was obtained by the steam
err North America. "The public will
learn with overwhelming grief that the
splendid vessel Royal Charter was totally
lost, yesterday, in Muffa Red Bay, near
Bangor, on the coast of England Melan-
eholy intelligence which reached us late.
last night was brief, but we fear is only too
true; that of upward of 400 persons, who
were on board, only ten are said to have.
been saved THERE'S some hope, however,
that this statement is exaggerated, but
under circumstances, loss of life is to be-
feared has been immense. $3.50. -.
The Royal Charter had about half mil
lion in gold on board. When the disaster
took place, it is not known. for the tele-
graph had ceased to work and so des-
tructive had been the storm along the
coast that the Chester and Birkenhead r.
R. had been destroyed in two places.
The Bay in which the catastrophe oc-
Cured is two or three miles westward Of
Bufin Island, in Angesea, and six or seven
miles to the north west of Beatmare's Has
ashollow beach, for several miles, with
promonitories at each end of the Bay
The country around is wild, and there are
but few houses about"

/" The Old Guard"

1t is now generally admitted that our
Irish fellow citizens are to the Democratic
party what NAPoLEoN's Old Guard was
to the French army-the bravest, the tru-
est, and most reliable portion of it. While
we do not wish to detract an iota from the
credit that is due to our German fellow
Democrats who SO nobly performed their
share of the hard work, we must confess
that the Irish Democrats are entitled to the
Badge of Honor. 10 this county, with
the exception of some disagreement on a
local candidate, they finched not from
their party in the time of need--they
quailed not in the hour of battle-but in
army style, they left their farms and bust
ness, determined to strike powerful blow
for the party of the aohole country. The
Irish Democrats of Manitowoc County
performed their duty WELL! This is all
the compliment they ask for the present.
They should be remembered in the future.
Vel done, Old Guard! The Pilot
shall at least remember you.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1859-11-18

re- owe learn that one of the Dem
ocratic officials of this county was heard
yesterday in high glee Boosting of the fact
that the County Judge. who was election
eering for the Democratic Ticket. had got
the Chairman of the town of Buchanan
drunk, and put him in bed early in the
forenoon Of the day of ion.-Tabune.
The above cowardly and scandalous at
tack appeared in the organ of the all-the-
decency party of this county, last week /;
and it matters not whether it originated
with Democratic official" or with a
"County Judge" we pronounce it false.
The Chairman alluded to, is one of the
most temperate and well behaved citizens
of our county; and an editor who will de-
scend so low as to retail in his dirty sheet
the sayings of scandal mongers around a
bar room stove, is not whit better than
the common vagabond who would give
forth to the world the private conversation
of man and wife. He is no man who will
do either.
