We do not know that that there is any
cure for stump sucking horse, no more
than there is for natural mesnpess. and III
this article we do not propose To prescribe
a remedy for either; but merely TO notice
tie fact that horse given 20 the habit viii

will omit no opportunity to show forth its
superla,ively little, low, and grovelilng ma
ture. Failing to reach General MKREDIrH

thus obstruct his advancement to position:

their object in another and no less sneaking
way. 10 the True (JxlianJ Republican Of
the oh, We find the following:
"Gov. y oRToN's attendance at Cambridge
on the 4th, we are credibly Informed, only
tended TO give aid and comfort to Copper
headism, and to compromise his own posi-
ton. Some OF Gen. MKREDIrH's friends we
learn we're highly indigDant-justly SO Il
seems to us-that the Governor IN his speech
made no reference to the general, while com
plimenting another officer of the 10Th regi
ment. Tie uhole affair must hare been
eminently unsati. factorily to all concerned,
ercept coPperheads.'
Vituperstion and abuse having become,
in the language of Shakespeare, the "catas-
,rophe and heel of pastime" with the Ju-
LIANs, they Lad heaPed it without sin, on
the devoted head OF Gen. Sol. MEREDITH
Judging from the above. change has
come DER the spirit of their dreams" and
they now volunteer TO defend tie man they
had SO grossly slandesed and villifed, for no
other reason, as they asst IN. than tina: Gov.
MORTON had shghted Gen. NJ. on the occa-
sion by not speaking of him at all Gods
what signal manifestation Of enduring
friendship is this 1t is quite refreshing
and makes us unspeakably happy TO record
it -
That Gen. Ms. friends " were highly in.
dignant," is as false as the heart that first
conceived and uttered the lie; but that,
had such feeling really existed. it would
have been highly gratifying to the JULIAss,
and regarded by them as "justly so.' no
one knowing their mean, malicious and en-
vious dispositions will for moment doubt.
When Gov. MORTON went on the stand.
he found no one but himself knew of Gen.
MEREDIrH's being fatally wounded, Che
having received dispatch from New York
of that purnort.) He informed those around
him, that lie intended referring tic it in his
remarks;but they requested him not to do SO
as Mrs. MEREDITH was in the audience, and
knew nothing Of it. For this reason, ard
this alone, the Governor did not speak Of
Gen. NJ. The bullet-riddled flag of the
gallant 10Th was floating from the stand-he
alluded to that, and spoke of the brave
boys composing the regiment. and passed
high and deserved eulogium on Lieut..
Col DUDLEY, (of whom it was then repor-
ted that he was killed, but who was only
seriously wounded
We know Gov. MoRroN has always been
Gen. MEREDIrH's firm and steadfast person
al friend. and his Attorney. whilst G. w.
JULIAN was always his private and political
enemy. MORTON rendered him every pos
siole assistance in raising his regiment
JULIAN denounced and abused him, and
publicly declared that be (MEREDrrH)
"could not get single recruit in Wayne
county" Gov. MoRroS always visited the
regiment when he went to Washington
JULIAN resided in Washington. and never
visited the regiment once. MORTON has al
ways used his inf lence with the President
10 secure the Generals promotion and con-
drmation. JULIAN, by abject lying and
downright meanuess. did all it was possible
for him to do to defeat both; bur, thank
God. he was defeated in both. Gov. Nor
TON has always complimenied the General
for bis gslantry in speeches before the
brigade and in Washington City and a.
further proof OF his confidence in him as

Governor recently asked the War Depart
