MIR. JAMES MONTGOMERY :-1ou COulu NV
have failed to notice in the Gazette of Tues
day last that Johnson has placed the Demo
Gratis of the First Ward in a most unenviablc
position, and done them gross injusticeby tell
ing what would have been termed in
my school-boy days a bare-tdced lie. The De
mocrats of the First Ward feel aggrieved at
the assertions of Johnson, and quite num-
Der of them have requested me to make a
counter-statement to that which appeared in
the Gazette.
In his editorial the idea is attempted to be
conveyed that Mr.. Young ran ahead of his
ticket in every Ward except the First, where
he was cut by some of the anti-Buchanan
men. BY reference to the vote of that Ward,
you will find that lie has stated what is not
true. Mr.. Young received in the First Ward
191 votes, Mr.. Wright 19l, Mr.. Mcneil 100,
and Mr.. Morrow 1s2 votes. Does that look
like his having been cut Mr.. llagany ran
ahead of his ticket. But it is n well known
fact that Mr.. II. had a great many warm per-
sonal friends in the ranks of the Opposition,
personal friendship. The idea that Buchanan
ism or anti Buclananism influenced the voters
on the day of election is simply ridiculous
The whole ticket was voted for as Democrat
ic ticket, and nothing else. l. as an anti Blu
chanan man, voted for MIR. Young, and | know
hosts of others who did the same, without
stopping to inquire whether Mr.. Young was
in favor of or against the administration of
James Buchanan.
A DEMOCRAT OF THE FIRST WARD.
sAMBo is KING.
Sambo is no myth but substantial reality
Time was, says n contemporary, when Sambo
Occupied an humble, unobtrnsive sphere, and
none so poor as to do him reverence. But
times have changed Sambo has gradually
emerged from obscurity, and may now be
said to reign supreme in many aristocratic
circles. His obsequious followers are legion.
In the halls of legislation, in courts ofiustice,
and at executive council boards--in the pull
pit and at the editorial desk Sambo presdes
with the dignity and authority ofan autocrat. |

Governors, too. Sambo, also, controls the
iury-boX, elects constables, school directors,
ETC., etc. 0ftentimes he puts on a religious

similar associations, and either dictates re-
solves or smashes up churches at pleasure.
In fine, no station can be reached no measure
,arried, or object attained, without the COM
1lacent smile ofimperial Sambo.
