Hard Knocks.

non -descrip's who have recently put forth
ticket for the suffrages of the people. lie
is Republican, and signs himself "Rough
Rider" He scouts the idea Of union with
the Brodericktes, and assails the editor Of
the Times for coquettng with the leader OF
that party. We have only space for few
extracts Democratic STANDARD.
"Where, sir-you editor Of the Times
have you mentioned the name of David G.
Broderick, save in fulsome laudaton! And
why should Republican Journal extol an
opposition leader? When was that generous
mode of party warfare inaugurated! How
often have you noticed "enthusiastic" Anti
Lecompton meetings, and wherefore the
policy of the editorial comments thereon!
How happens it that in your searching for
arguments to weaken the enemy, you have
passed over the early history of this State,
when Mr.. Broderick, the boasted Warwick
and Kng-maker of the Democracy, held
the party in the palm of his hand and dictat-
ed its control9 How have you SO strangely
forgotten that Pearson B. Reading was swim
died in the Secretary of States office by
false count and scandaous fraud, for the
benefit of honest (?) John Bgler, by means
whereof John Biger became Governor?-
When you sing the peans of an opposition
leader, what banishes from your memory
the fact that Waldo was fairl y elected, and
John, the honest John, the plant thing of
Broderck was second time by fraud made
Governor of California? Do you not know,
too, that Broderck again, the third time, by
force of his imperious will, dragooned
Democratic Convention into the third nom-
nation of the honest "lager- bidder" of De-
mocracy? Who is responsible for Supreme
Court during the early days Of the State,
which has made our judicial annals infamous?
Who leagued with Palmer, Cook q Co.,
to prostitute and debase the credit of the
State? What class of politicians gave US the
municipal rule of Geary, Harris, Van Ness
and Garrison-Bowie, Woods, Scannell and
Gorham-Meiggs, Cotter, Carter, ct id onane
gcnus2 With whom did Mulligan, Sullivan,
Casey, Cooney, "Whitev," "Red Dick, the
butcher" fraternize? For what class of poll
ticians was our State and city Treasury plum
dered-our people taxed-our tradesmen
licensed! For whose advantage were the
ballot boxes stuffed, citizens beaten, rows en-
gendered? BY whom were the Eighth Ward
returns kept open eight days, and the Ninth
Precinc, votes received under The fear of the
bowie knife and navy revolver? And for
whose benefit was ordnance loaded with
chain and shot and brought to bear upon the
First Ward polls? Whence arose the occa-
sion of bringing upon our young city the
necessary evil and shame of Vigilance
Committee, to secure our eope the boon Of
life, liberty and personal securily-7the eces
sty OF self-prcservation?
Does the editor of the Times believe that
any part of this old army of political plum
derers are now in our ranks? OF HAT it is the
true policy OF decent party TO endeayor to
swell its ranks 10y the aggregation Of such
vile material? Better to continue small,
than to swell with putreftction,' is the Re-
publican motto Of the Rough Rider and
many other ''sincere Republicans"
The Times newspaper. the Republican or
gan, and no word of condemnation for such
abuses in the past. The Republican paper
still silent upon all these matters Of history,
when fusion with this element is limited at.
1t will not do, Mr.. Washburn. You must
either fish or cut bait" You cannot be a
Broderick Democrat and Republican at the
same time. You can not roar from under
the ass's skin, for "your ears will betray you"
Repubcansm and Broderick Democracy
have but little in common and advise you
to be no longer bamboozled by the hope Of
any aid from Mr.. Broderick or his friends
such as Conness Gabe Hall, Humphrey
Griffith, De Long, McCorkle, Koher, Woh-
Ter, Flanagan, Brannigan and Stagg. Come

the enemy, if you will! occupy the position of
a captain. Let the war be aggressive, not
defensive. Grow, Mr.. Washburn, crow
brag. Lead trumps-carry the war into
Ireland; pitch into the chivalry, and Tam
many ditto. Let your bristlng quills be
thrown in every direction Let s'For God
and the Right be your motto and let con-
sequences take care of themselves"
"THARs NO 'SoRRER' THAR"-"As | rode

friend the Doctor, who resided near Louisville,
Il observed two fiat boats lying side by side

pointed. The crews. had joined in their
religious services, and, when | arrived, were
singing hymn with a rousing chorus, in
these words: There's no sorrow :here!" At
the close Of the hymn usty brother stood
up, and, in voice Of thunder shouted
yes, brethren, Mar's no sorrer in heaven
And why no,?-because, in the words of
this heavenly hymn, Mar's no soryer thar
