0ur Representative.

An old personal anu po'i'icai fiiend,
and , subscriber to THE TIMES for twenty
wears. remarked TO US the other day, that
he though. we had for gotten Gen. CLARK,
our "bold and manly" Representative. as
he had seen nothing about him in the paper
for some time. He is mistaken: we have
not forgotten the old gas tub, but we have
not punctured hi lately because the demo-
cratic editors have taken the job of OF our
hands. Witness the following paragraphs
taken from the Grand River Chronicle,
which paper supported the General in the
last election. Referring to the fact that he
has been in all parties, and at last got TO
Congress, that paper says
He has now been in Congress three
years, and yet he has never introduced or
advocated single measure OF prominence
or importance. He stands at the tail end
of the lower house. II he had not brought
hims self into notice by advertising the Hell
per book work which the Black Repub-
licans were very anxious TO eiect-hls
name would not been known out Of his
dees,rict.
His last apostncy was in joining the
Dousasi,es. and in preaching their Squat
ter doctrine alter proclaiming oil over The
deesfrict his opposition 10 Douglas and his
doctrine. and evidenced by his voting a.
eainst him SO times in Convention. How
long he will remain with the Douglasites
remains 10 be seen. He has betrayed every
party TO which he has yet belonged, and
will from force of habit betray them. He
will next affllct The Republicans or Unior
party witl,his membership. We hope he vii
spend the interval between the Presiden
,ial election and the meeting OF Congress II
going TO school and learn how 10 spell rasca
without k, Senate without an i, and Il
pronounce district and representative ilkt
h: Anglo Saxon gentleman should.
g+Ges Clark made a very movin!
speech on SaturLay. When he commenced
there were about Seveniy five people In tn
Courthouse. In less than thirty minGte
there were not twenty five.
gFWhy did not Willard p Hall speal
on Saturday night. He held himsel: bacI
for il. and II was announced lie would
! Did he think that Gen. Clark had SO eli
fecrually digu>,ed the people that the.
could not stomach any more squat,er sover
eighty on that day.
1.-THE result Of perseverance is beau
tifully illustrated in the career Of Gen
Clark Without a single commendabI
qualification for the position, be has worke
himself into Congress. Several Of th
counties composing his district have Gale
upon him TO resign; but they can hardl
expect that a man who has been upon a
sides of all questions and who has beiraye
half dozen political parties 10 obtain
place will be influenced by such consider
atoms. A hungry dog never walks OIL.
, q meat house until he is kicked out.
NWhen Gen. Clark was here last sun
: mer, he begged like dog 10 be re-eleete
10 Congress, He promised TO 60 for an
candidate who obtained majority IN h
deestrict. His present arrogance affords I
, amusing contrast with his former obsequ
BUSINESS.
r fWanted to represent this district
{ Congress, man who can spell, write, al
3 pronounce the English language correctly.
EEThe next U. S. Senator from Mi
n souri, will be JONES S. Green. The ns1
:, Reepreese native from this deeslrict in Co
, gress won't be John B. Clark.
E-Gen. Clark assured some Of h
friends at the depot that lie was thorough
posted as TO the Breckenridge men in III
, county. There were just forly-seven
them.
FThe mere prestige Of position en-
bled John B. Clark TO creep into Congre
for another term by begging. He is nett
: er The representative Of the dignity, nor Il
e intelligence OF the district.
