II LARGEST DAILY. TRI-wEEKLY, AND WEEKLY
CIRCULATION, OF ANY PAPER IN WEBBING.
o. last Tuesday morning, in a quiet, rather
confidential and "hope don't intruder sort of
way, we yentured to throw out suggestion
OF two to our much respected neighbors-the
two allied organs. Our object, we may con.
scientiously say, was to give their commen.
dable zeal on behalf of orthodoxy through.
out the Panhandle, some practical and effec-
tive bent. Although not strictly in the Eight,
beyond mere little harmless countering off Of
budding penchant barely observable on the
part of our neighbor of the Times, in one of
their late forays, to tread on our toes, yet in
view of the plain intent Of the two allied organs
TO begin war of determination upon our unfor-
tunate and herctical Senator, aud in view of the
possibility of its being protracted and uncer.
tain campaign, we hit upon device, as we
thought, which would save waste of time and
stragetical manuoeyre, and at once decide the
fortunes of the day by grand Napoleonic
Coup de grace"
To this end, we solicited the consideration of
the allied organs TO this proposition: To call
County Convention of ''the pure un.amalgama.
ted Opposition in other words, of the vo-
tiers who had supported Mr. Caldwell in Nav
1857, and who had elected him to his present
position. When they had called and got together
this convention, we advised them to put to the
voters formal resolution condemning Mr.. Cald.
wells behavior in the matter of his late Repub-
lican speechifying, and his heretical affiliations
with, that party some weeks before. If
this resolution, on being put, should pass by a
majority vote, then il was for the 'little giantn
to come forward, dofF his Senatorial robes,
touch his hat the sovereigrs, and at once and
forever retire into the background But if on
the contrary, it should not pass, why then the
allied organs were to dry up their blubbers and
slobbers about his hercsies, accept him as a true
prophet, and kiss the rod that smote them. To
this proposition the elder Ajax organ replied ON
Tuesday evening and the lesser Ajax organ tho
next morning; the former att some length, the
latter in very timid little sort Of billet doux
The elder Ajax concluded that this would be
preposterous, for the reason that speyhaps" after
all, Mr.. Caldwell would not resign. The
younger Ajax declined for the reason, that it
knew a "trick worth two of that''-which trick
was for the Senator to resign. So thus it will
be seen that both father Ajax and sonny Ajax
have not the nerve to come to hand to hand
graphic with the ''ittle giant" From all this
the moral that will fasten itself upon public at
tention is, that neither believe what they preach.
They sit on their stump tailed tripods-the one
at the going down and the other at the rising of
the sun, and talk about the misdoings of the lit.
tie heresiarch, for whom neither of them voted:
and how heis violating the confidence ofthat "un.
amulgamated opposition" with which neither of
them co=operated, and yet, when we come up,
sponge in hand, leading "the little giant, eager
to be at them with hntfnl of money to bet on
him, they take to their heels like couple OF
Chinese Mandarins at the sight of British
man of war.
