The Thanks we Get.

The Thanks We Get.
In our issue OF week before last, we sugges-
ted that public entertainment should be CIV
en- 10 our returned volunteers, the "TayloT
Guards.'' Instead of seconding our proposition,
the envlous and malignant Inquirer clique a.
buse Us without stint for making il. They say
we did so from fear, that it comes with an i'll
grace from us, and that "when the effort TO get
up the company was made, the editor of the
Ga-4tle, carried his opposition and meanness SO
far as 10 quit speaking to persons who were get
ting up the company" As to making the
proposition because we wanted TO concilIate The
soldiers, we can Tell the miserable wretches
who edit the Inquaier, that when our conscIen-
ce tells US that we ale right, De fear no man
on Gods green earth II they don't believe
this, let them 'try US on" As 10 coming with
a bad grace from Us, the gentlemen composing
that company always had our best wishes aud
we know that we have many warm and at
tached friends among them. They did their
duty, and we admire tlem for it. Instead OF
staying at home and calling their neishoors
sstraitors" and 'Tsecessionists," or holding fat
berths under CurtIn's rotten administration,
they marched to the field OF battle, TO defend
their counGy's flag, and for this we honor them,
As to our not speaking to persons who were en-
gagged in getting up the company because they
were thus engaged, it is simply false. Wecui
of communication with some OF them, because
we were told that they had threatened the de-
strucion of our property. But when this was
it.-Such are the thanks, however, that we get
for signifying our interest in the welfare OF the
soldiers. But, no matter! Davy Crockett's
motto, which we have adopted for all the iu-
ture, will bring US out safely "Be sure you're
right, then go ahead !"
% Heaven be. thanked, Congress has ad-
journed adjourned, too, without passing the
joint resolution approving of the Presidents
usurpations and unconstitutional acls. The
grave and deliberate Senate did not dare to pass
that resolution. Senator Sherman, of Ohio, said
the President had no right to suspend the Hqbe-
as Corpus, Will the Inquirer clique inform
their readers of this fact
NO Whenever you hear man who has fat
tened upon Democratic favors, denounce the
Democratic party as corrupt, and at the same
time uphold and excuse the heinous acts OF
Lincoln and other Republican office holders,
