Mcs'rs. Editors;
Black Rcpublicnnism Is below par In this sec.
ton of country Since the election, q live Wide.
Awake has been regarded as curiosity Of eS.
cceding variety rs but few specimens can now be
found, they having suddenly found II 70 their
interest TO emigratc TO the head waters OF polite
al disappointment. SO mote itbe.
Those imposing denonstrotOns" Of beardless
boys and childish men have resulted In nothing TO
their advantage unless the accession ola few wav.
ering individuals, who have not yet the privilege
of exercising the right OF suffrage, might be re-
garded as such But 80 soon as the display, the
"fuss and feathers" Is over with, you may count
these new recruits among the first Of deserters.-
What with their strenuous efforts to carry this
township by triclery or otherwise, and what with
their weekly powwows, parading the streets Of our
village, keeping honest people from enjoying that
repose which Nature demands; and causing dis
honest ones TO prowl about Mt an unreasonable
hour of the night, destroying an immense amount
Of bad whiskey, Zone benefit, at lcast,) and ex-
pending time and money when their wives, children,
and creditors make more just and urgent demands
of them; what with all these, they have done noh-
ing absolutely nothing but carry conviction to the
honest, high. minded sensible portion OF commun.
ty that they are set Of vagabonds, fit compan-
ions for night owls, burglars, se.thieves, and
all other rapscalions who follow their business by
night But the Democracy have been assaicd by
these mushroom organizations before; covered as
they arc with lions skin, this does not improve
their muscle or courage as their premature decline
will testify. "Sad fate ! take warning ere it be
too late!"
The Republicans attempted TO raise q meeting
at school house in the western part ofthis town
ship, the backest part of it: to the knowledge OF
your deponent, 1t was publicly announced twice to
| large numbers, perhaps oftner, of which am not
cognizant. With all the mastering they could
do, they succeeded in bringing together Just
00000000002I three .fourths of whom were Re
pubcans, the maj orty little boys. Alck McMil-
len was announced to be the speaker, and the audi
ence waited patiently till O'Clock, when the
speaker did-not come. IL is since rumored that
Macs duties on Salt River precuded the posi-
bility of his attendance. A delegation of Wide
Awakes from Monroe township consisting of one
individual was present. The Holmesvile Wide
Awakes were also represented by delegation
consisting of one member. The two delegations
cononed, zig-zagged few minutes, ani then ad-
iouined to their respective homes, throughly dis
gusted Democrats highly elated. Such is a
faithful description of matters and things in gen.
cral up here. Republicans will soon be obliged "a
hang up their fiddle. Soon 'none will be so poor
as to do them reverence" With their Sable gar
ments on one arm, and Sable Sambo on the other
they will soon mournfully wend their way to parts
unknown" "Who will be there to mourn for
them ?'-"Not one" "Peace to their Names"
Brethren, sing.
clark from the tombs doleful sound,
NV ears attend the cry;
Republicans, come view the ground
Where you must shortly lie."
Truly Yours,
CHARLES II.
