Who Killed Cock Robin?

| ninety miles IN length, and more or less
! uile-one hundred and seventy five feet
below the level Of Lake Winnebago,
where the old steamer Michigan, Of glo-
rious mem cry, exchanges salutatlons semi
occasionally with cars from Chicaoo-the
Queen City Of the Lakes and who has
in former times been called by Democrats
as clever CHARLEY" and because Of that
soJraquet has been honored by the Demo
! cratic party of Wisconsin beyond his
merits-Gid, on the 18Th day Of august
! instant, announce TO the public that :. We,
! CHARLES - ROBINSON, altas Green Bay
4 dQrocate." was seventeen years old on that
/ identical day, and that during that whole
period had always blown hot for the Dem
cratic party of Wisconsin, And dear
| oh! CHARLEY,' oy virtue OF bis age, his
great merits, ana eminent virtues rs "A
! Democrat, comes out with bis reasons for
not sustaining the candidates OF The Dem
ocratic party nominated at the recent
Convention at Madison, and which he, no
doubt, hoped would be framed in gilt by
order of the Abolition Convention held on
the l9,h inst.
CHARLEY 5 reasons remind us very much
Of the efforts of HENRY WARD BEECnER
to talk French and make himself under>
stood by the Parsians during his late visi:
to their city. lie save :-"I undertook
to speak Frcpe';.. II was a spectacle of
linguai gymnastics that did not fail to ex-
c.,e almiIa ion and elicit smiles Usually
began with noun. Throwing that out
in very bold manner, | then sent the
verb Struggling after it as best it might,
somew hat disheseled, and often much dis
located and then the adverbs and adiec-
tiyes were thrown in at the end, as SO
much to boot"
CHARLEY saws that be has not left the
Democratic party, but the Democratic
party has left him--that he is the same as
formerly, and that ae has not stepped out
of the lines of the brave old organization
but that he would no more enter the
present contest, clad in his old party har-
ness, and mannuyre with his old party
tactics, than he would enter upon celestial
streets covered with the dust and fretted
with the ambitions Of earth! Cowarls
and traitors will never be admitted within
Heavens peariy gates.
CuARLEY's fqure did not reach that
high. 1t was not so intended His God
is the Administration--ii present angels
are the Delegates elect to the Abolition
Convention of the 19th inst.-hs Heaven
is good fat otfice-Eis celestial streets
are whore President LINCOLN treads =
CHARLEY offers his fealty, bis service,
and his life to the disposal-not Of the
count-v-to President Lincoln, and con-
so'es himself With the reflection that If lie
is betrayed, God will have no mercy on
LINCOLN $ soul.
CHARLEY SAYS he is going to give us
fits; that be will have his gun shot,ed and
MS deck cleared for action, Who is =,
furnish him ammunition, and meu 10 man
his deck Unless he supply himself, it
cannot come from any one in the line Of
the brave Old organization, for all have
left it but himself We wonder if lie
keeps the same old mubket that he leyeled
at the Democratic Convention which nom
ira.ed BARsrow for Governor, instead Of
CHARLES D-D RoRISsox Is it the
Congressional Conventions at Fond du
Lac aud Oshkosh, ana threatened to shoot
if JonN FrzGER was nominated for
Congress, instead Of himself? IS it the
same he discharged at the Democratic
party for nominating aud supporting FER
GusoS for Governor, instead of himself?
Perhaps he has gun that he picked up on
the field Of Bull Run, or a gun that he
captured from the rebels down on the Po-
tomsc? If so, when he comes to shoot
We shall have a terribly shocking report
and smell brimstoue,
lie threatens TO shoot his gnn-Ist,
because the two hundred aud sixty Dele
gates in the late Conventol stood togelh
er on one side, and left lin standing alone
on t'oiher; %, because tie Convention
pledged its party to the support of the
government, and 10 stand by the Union
and Constitution 81, because tie Con-
venlion did not resolve that ABRAHAM
LINcolN is the government, and that our
fealtv, our service, and our lives are at his
disposal, aE6 that We are bound 10 follow
him wherever lie may lead, even TO the
grave of our nationality and of our rights
and liberties AS American citizens, and
