There il evidently trouble in the camp
Of the Governor. They whom he count

the acts Of that functisnary, aud they
even set him down ~ political trick

guags Of Republican papers we have
read. II hurts the feelings of our CO.
temporary. 1t 10 squirting in the wrong
direction. 1t Is telling the truth on one
Of those OCCASIONS where it should not be
told, aud hence It is that the genius Of
the Gazette stalks forth with walls OF
wrath in one hand to pour upon the
heads of such as dare speak the truth
concerning the Governor, aud in the
ether balm and sweet smelling ointment
for the deep gashes bis. Excellcncy has
received in the house Of his friends.
We are told by this apoiogist Of our
lagga,d Governor, that his actions
should not be qaestioned; that every
thing he Gays or does should be pro-
nounced good that il he promises - do
one thing and then does another, it is
all right; that if he accepts men into
the service and delays to provide for
their comfort, it is just the thing that #
he spends his time in plotting aud sche-
ming for denomination, instead Of Ia
king a straightforward course for the
good OF his country, it is doing his
bounden duty, and no man has right
to say augbt concerning it. Not SO with
the people; they are becoming nay,
have already become heartily sick of the
course of Samuel J. Krrkwood, and
they are speaking out. Justice is over
taking hun, and il we are not greatly
mistaken. all the efforts OF bis apologists
will fall far short of reinstating him in
public confidence and securing for him
that warm seat towards which he has
been so anxiously gazing, and for which
he has been 50 assiduously laboring.
Our neighbor need neither be "aston
ished nor chagrined" at the action OF the
Republican,. papers. They are writing
high upo" tho all tho doom of the maj
before whose eyes partizan polite
ranges near than the good Of the coun
try, and in whose heart the love OF OF
flee ranks higher than regard for tn
comfort Of those who have taken i
upon themselves to fight the country
battles. The Governors chances ar
crumbing, and our neighbor rushes Of
to the rescue. Let him and his apollo
gsts beware lest they advance ste
too tar. Patriots command much NOR
respect now. a-days than trucking
schemng politicians let them Dcwar
lest they carry their plotting beyond Nh
bounds of endurance

stand aloof from contests which in no
