himself for the falsehood which he asserted
when he said that the editors of the N. Y

issued two editions one daily and The 9th

issued four editions, 4 ally, weekly, a
semi.weekly and tri.weekly.
But this excuse will not do-he can not

Quite sharp.

We suppose that the duties incumbent
upon the city Clerk. are known 10 all of
our readers. he simply has to attend the
sittiugs of the Council, make record of
their proceedings, and the most important
duty he has to perform is the making out Of
the City Tax Duplicate. For those duties he
gets salary of s400. per annurn. This is
very large salary fer he duties performed. No
one of his predecessors has received 40 large
salary as he doss-S300. We believe being
the largest up to his election. Independent
of the labor in msking tbe Tax Duplicate,
the Office of city Clerk : mere..sinecurei
Mr. Joseph Blake draws annually lis
s400 salary, aud some two weeks ago he
presented his bill to the BOARD Of Com
mon Council for 500. extra for makiBS up
the Tar Duplicate. The Board very prop
erly rrfused to allow the hill. bat the fact
that Mr.. Blake presented it. l.. to say the
least OF it. remarkably singular. We un
derstand that the Board Il year ago allow
ed him one hundred dollars extra OF the peo
Piles money, for doing thi, duty which he
is paid for in his s4)0 salary.
This is pretty sharp in our CITY Clerk,
and shows the people one of the ways that
their Treasury is soush 10 be robbed, and
one of the reasons why their taxes are SO
high.
Why is 1t. We ask in the name of justice.

u The readers OF the Express will bear
us Hitness that since The present canvass $
opened We have seduously avoided saying
any thing in the least degree unkind or Of
fensive towards any of the candidates of
the, so called, Democr attic party. In fact
We have almost wholly abstaine from any
allusion to the eau didates of that party. as
most oi them 10 this county were our inti-
mate personal friends We felt 20 dispo-
sition to do or cay anything that would
tend 10 mar the personal goDd feeling that
existed between u. This course W e should
have continued with all the candidates up
to the election. and such shall be our course
to all who observe towards US the common
amenities. that hold between gentleman .
But the ang-ntlemanly ani uuprovok ed
assault made upon Us by the Hon Daniel W
Voorhees, on Monday last was OF such an
aggravated character that the respect We
had for him before is turned to contempt
and loathing and this Is the feeling inspired
In the minds of all VINO Witnessed his er
hibition OF black guardisn on that occa-
sion.
If Daniel can clear his way TO Congress
by such exhibitions Of his natural instincts,
or by the use of such pot house slang and
profanity, as we are tod he heaped upon
US on Monday night and Tuesday morn
ing in this city-we much mistake the
character of the people OF the Ccngression-
al District.
AS we have heard Voorhees, apply the
same and similar epethets TO many batter
men than he will ever be. and indeed to
whole associations of men. we presune il is
a stereotyped malediction which instinc-
lively overHows from the fitness of his
heart. So curse on Daniel. 5.

"But the great aim and object of your

The Seeding Convention.

The telegraph gives the Convention Of
the Seceders much more than it deserves.
1t is represented that twenty-one States

were but six. Both delegates and alter
mates are counted, thus swelling the vote
to one hundred and five, while in fact, it
is fifty two and half. the States voted
as cunt for Douglas" in the regular
Convention, purport to be represented
among the Seceders. For instance a Mr.
Denny, is said 20 have spoken for Penn
sylvania in the Seeding Convention
Now Pennsylvania had no such delegate.
The nomination of Mr.. Breckenridge is a
tub thrown to whale. He is too sound
Democrat ever to accept such a nomin-
alton. We do not doubt that he will
support the nomination of Douglas with
heart and soul. The Seeding Con

A BRAVE BoY.--A fast little six-year-

conceiving dislike for bald headed gem
.tlcman who frequently passed his fathers

mother was much grieved at such conduct
and not only sent an apology to the gen

and read Of the bears who came out and
destroyed the children who ridiculed the
bald-headed prophet. The next day the
little fellow collected large number of
rocks, and as soon as the gentleman "hove
in sight" commenced hurling them at him.
His father soon arrested his warlke dem

by such conduct.

Plainly spoken.

The Analyst, published at Cleveland,
has heretofore pretended to be solely q
temperance paper, but it has been work
ing for the Black Republican party all
along. In the last issue it hoists LINCOLN
and insted of heading the ticket Republi-
can it is headed "The Cold Water Tick
et." This is a species of humbuggery
that will not win. The paper gives four
reasons for supporting LINCOLN, and
among the rest we find the following:
"There is no reason why a temperance man
should be an 'one idea man. If slavery is the
sum of all viluinies,' no who has been fighting
King Alcohol will delight in wrestling with the
twin brother Of the old villain. II we can liber.
ate the slave, and then make the free man truly
free, We will have accomplished double good.''
The above plinly gives the sentiments
of the party on Abolitionism. Com
ment is unnecessary.

A NOBLE SENTIMENT.-The Hon. Dick
Richardson, of Illinois, in his speech at
the Douglas demonstration in New y ork,
in one or his warm hearted appeals said,
that the bones of his ancestry lie moulder-
ing in the Southern States, while those
Of his children were buried in the North,
thus forming tie that bound him heart
and soul to the whole Union; that his
fathers had lett but one inheritance, and
that was he glorious institutions of
American liberty; that this inheritance
was perhaps all that he should ever be en-
abled to leave to his own children after
him, but that his life should be devoted
to the taste of transmitting that legacy
untarnished to their hands. We do not
quote the words bnt the sentiment. 1t is
a noble one Chicago Herald.
