- Babbitt, of Waukon, don't like the
NORTH Iowa TINES. lie calls it "mcan"
and "wishy washy" in political discussion
and call things to all men, 1T charges
the present panic as a natural result of the
teachings of Seward as waging war against
the South" Sensation items, &C., abound
in each issue" 1--WE confess to the "&c").
"Should that mammoth, metropolitan, self
inflated concern (the Tines cut US of, we
should try and get along"
Wonder if Babbitt ever heard of the boy
whose mother told him "to. keep his mouth
closed and the public would not discover he
was fool" The article to which he ex-
cepts had not the remotest reference to his
paper, but late visit to an office in this
place innoculated him with the cirrus Of
1imes.hating and where others failed to re-
ceive notice from us, Bah. concluded to
lend hand to pull the chestnuts out Of the
fire. Dab is charitable and we proceed to
commend him.
The Journal is well printed newspaper,
credtable to Waukon; it has excellent Sc
lections, not bad editorials, and one of the
best local editors, III Mr. MERRILL, that there
is in the State. 1t merits generous sup
port from the people of Alamakec, and we
think it receives it. It's senior is very tall
man, built somewhat like the knight of
the Sorrowful Figure" He scarcely ever
smiles; has fits of Feasibility which some
times lead him to quarrel with Circus clowns
to purchase notoriety at the cost Of very
humiliating ridicule; but, after all, he is a
pretty good fellow if you don't plague MIN.
The Supreme Architect did not build him
for very great man, Except in altitude)
and hence his facial index does not deceive
any one. We wish him well, and we sim
cerely regret that his teachings have dam.
| aged the country, awakened Remorse and
| caused him to seek quarrel with one who
has ever referred to him with kindness. As
| the Times seems to have some agency in
| producing spasins in the gentle bosom Of
our late friend, we hereby solemnly prom
| Use not to send it to him till his stomach car
bear the strong meat Of Truth, and his hear
can suggest something besides partisan bit
terness as return for uniform persona
kindness. We would like to hear from
Waukon weekly, but unless some friend ha'
mercy on us and writes US occasionally W,
i expect nothing from that beautiful ant
]. growing village for many months.
