from this City which swarms with Federal officials,
abounds in double voting, sod feeks with Demo

tanned the LecOmptOn swindle, snrAnk from faciog

An experiment from which so many sbraok, and
which proved 80 DISASTROUS when tried, Mr.
William D. Bishop Of Bridgeport, and Mr.. Samuel
Arpoll of Hadds1n, are now braviOg. We admire
their plock, but wouldn't give much for their skins
We think, ere their constituents have done with
them next Tuesday, these gentlemen VIII wish
they had taken their n,ying by attorney rather
than in their OVID proper persons.
We VII do Justice 70 Messr, Bishop and Arnold.
We closely observed their course in Congress.
From the opening to the close of the LeconptOu
battle whoever else faltered, they stood firm.
While Engi,h and Cox Ysyered, aid Dewart and
Osen Jones, and G.Oesbeck, e al, occasionally
showed qualms Of conscience and white feathers,
Bi.bop and Arnold, throughout the long fight, fol
lowed the flag ard kept step to the music OF the
Neqro.ocracy, without vAIableness or shadow of
turning. At every tap Of the drum-at every call
Of the rol-esry and lste-tbey were ready to do
the dissereeablc work Of the Slave propaganda. AT
every crack of the Oyerseer's whip, they were

respond Aye or No, SIS his owners dictated.
1t 49, therefore, as model doughfaces, as trusty
serfs Of the Slave Democracy, that these gentle
men are entitled 10 reelection. We cheerfully
commend them 10 the support Of every man in
their districts, who belle ,es that Slavery ought to
be forced BY means OF stuffed balot-bo1es and
Federal bsyonels upon reluctant territories, thst
the free lsborers in our factories and mechanic
shops Should be kept uhder the heel Of the slave
ogarcby that stealing from the public treasury in
tie shape Of Government jobbery is an honest way
of supporting Government and getting living.
But on tie other hand we ask all to withhold
from them their yotes, who do not believe that
fawning at tho foot of the Slave Power, kissing the
hard of the oyerseer that drives you, and doing
good deal of foul work for very small psy is
synonymous with msrliness, independence and
Democracy.
