ldav two articles apnear for which he must stand
sponsor, defending his Administration. and, in
anticipation appropriating to himself the thanks Of
a grateful posterity for having taken his share
of just responsibility for his country The Gov
ern0r evidently thinks that contemporaries, like
Republics, are ungrateful. and that his brilliant
craftsmanship can only be appreciated by those
who may come after him. We hope His Excel
lency derives great consolation IN looking that
far ahead to be applauded with honor and thanks,
but We fear the stream of time will sink into OBJ
liyion before that point Is reached. The G0yern-
or charges that we have denounced him in
coarse language. What an ldea IRON such
sourcel We could not be more surprised If we
should hear bull talk about refinement We
have nothing to do with the Governors quarrels
with his political friends. He claims that be is
more popular in Jefferson county than the Editor
of the Madison Courier, and hence is entitled to
more consideration That may be true, and upon
an issue Of that character we shall not interfere
but the Governor should remember that he OBJ
tanned bis present position entirely upon borrowed
capital, not upon any merits or popularity Of his
own.
His ExcelIency. in his editorials in the Jour
nal. relies confidently upon victorious and
grateful General Government" repaying the
State every dollar that II has cost her TO raise
money for war purposes. We use his own Ian
