How SORRY THEY FEEL! - The
Democratic papers have all fallen
in love with William II. Seward,
strange as it may appear. Ten days
ago be was the personification of all
that was bad, but now he is grea,
and statesman like, and they weep
bitter tears because he was not nom
mated at Chicago. They say he
'i.o ooen crueily slaughtered and
they mourn at his funeral.
Poor felloys, their tears fall for
quite a different reason. They do
not mourn for Seward, and do not
love him a bit better than they used
to, but they mourn because in the
nomination OF Lincoln they see theil
own doom foreshsdowed. Like the
darkey in tho play, they are going
to their own funeral and are sorrow
ful accordingly. The hand writing
is already on the wall and they are
reading their doom thus early in th,
fight Sandusky Register.
