xor YET SATISFIED.
Col. Bss.rrf. Of the Bsgis, VAS cknu'-
d.se-funuy, amt isf-for Supervisor o.
,b;. t,vr,hip, At the las. election. lie vas
be.se,, Of course, = be has been almost
yearly, for the past ,ix years, for some once.
Well, the Colonel has been very much exeisea
ever .;ncs. lie don's seem to care for him
self, but be pre.ends that his competitors
Mr.. DorclAss, has suffered an indignlty q
our hands! The COL, last week, vas yer!
vro,by because Mr.. DorGLAss' name appear
Cd 10 the election returns OF the Nonpdrea
without star l.) aExed to denote that ne
f,he said DoreLAs) vas Republican! How
kiad Of the COL, to look 80 carefully after
the welfare Of the man who distanced MN
II the polls! What disinsercs'edness! NOT
only this, bu. Col. BABBrrr sayswe took ad-
vantage Of him, the said BAsBirr, and defeat
ed him, by not saying word in favor Of ms
competitor, Mr.. DorGLAss. For this act COL
BAsB,rr does not seem disposed to forgive
US! He manifes.Iy thinks that our course
towards him was surreptitious!y unfair!
We regreas that B.EB!rr takes bis deiea'so
.much to heart" but We are glad he places
his defeat ut our door. Disappointment does
not seem to chassen his spirit in the least!
Oh, no ,-every successive defeat but makes
him the more wrothy and ill-tempered. He's
very much vexed now. He says We endorsed
Mr.. EuBaSK, and set forth his "peenilar
6,ncss'' for the office Of District Ciers, but
eon,emp.ably passed Mr.. DorLLAss BY with
out word Of commendation! EuBANK was
defeated; DouGLAss was elected! The Col.
then reas ons from cause to effect, thus: The
Aonpareil commended EuBANK, and-he
wa, defeated the Nonpareil passed Dorc-
LASS by with contempt, and--he was elected
This is solerable good reasoning, only the
Col. forgets to state the difference IN thetwo
cases-EuBANK ran against good and COM
potent man, as BABBIrr Acknowledges and
DoucL.s didnt!-as everybody knows. So
much for that.
Col. BABBlrr, not yet satisfied that We did
not do Mr.. DOUGLASS and hims self intentional
injustice, says we had time to set forth Mr..
ErkASK's "peeuliar fitness" for the post to
which he aspired; but no time to say word
in favor Of Mr.. DoUGLAss-though both we're
announced in our paper as Independent can
diiates, a week previous to the Saturday
before election. Ju,t so-the Republicans
proposed to make no nomination for the
Office of Clerk of the District Court; hence
We felt at liberty to commend and support
Mr.. EuBANK, who had announced himself an
Independent candidate; for the office OF
township Supervisor, We knew, at the time
Mr.. DOUGLASS announced himself candi.
date, that the Republicans proposed to make
a nomination for that Office; hence We did
not feel at liberty to fcrestail tho action of
the township Convention, by asking Repub.
leans to give Mr.. DOUGLASS their support.
After he was nominated, as we said last
week, We had not time to set forth his many
points of superiority over his competitor for
the off ice to which they resp ,ctively aspired.
Besides this, we felt confident the people OF
this city knew full we'll that Mr.. DOUGLASS
was as much better a man than BABBIrr for
the Office, as the Arctic regions are superior
to that hot place down below. for powder
house.
For entertaining and acting upon this be-
lief, we are soundly abused by Col. LYsANpER
W. BABBIrr-" able man" and "porular
favorite." The Col. is very wrothy-he
foams-hc storms--he raves! He is evil
IDENTIFY mad, because he is appreciated at his
fun value here! He don't relish it, and he
pitches into us, rs the author of oil tho
"misfortunes which have overtaken him" in
his dotage. Unable to restrain his impotent
rage, he falls to calling US a "quadrupcd,"
"canne editor" "sagacious ANIMAL" etc
arguments democratic sable men" like
BaBprrr, invariably fall back upon, when
their very limited supply of brains fail them.
Come at US again, Col, il you are not yet
satisfied epi,hets are cheap. you know-so
roll in.
