Our Democratic friends do not ac-

arc spurious imitation, not the genuine

say they obtained a grea conservative
victory in the last Falls election. We
have all heard of the very lucky indieid-
ual who drew the elephant in lottery,
laughter, and who could not sell him,
and could not give him away, and could
not keep him, and did not know exactly
what to do with him when he got him.
Now, l fear that our friends who sue
ceeded in the last Falls election have
drawn the political elephant; they seem
to be a good deal troubled with him Just
now, and don't know precisely what to
do with him. They are evidently in di-
vided COUNCILS. Before the election they
were opposed to arbitrary arrests-they
were opposed to these thousands interfer
ences that they complain of-but since
the election they seem to have changed
their position. They changed their
spots, as the good lady advised her little
son the leopard could. "Mother," he said
"can the leopard change his spots?'-
"To be sure he can, my son." she said,
"when he gets tired of one spot ho can
go to another" Laughter. They seem
to be changing their spots in the same
way. Before the election they were for
the most liberal propositions of peace
Why to be sure they were. The South
ern people were our brethren; burning a
little gunpowder and numbering few
thousands OF men, but then it would be
all right; aud they hoped it would be
made up by some political action, and all
be smoothed over so that the brothers of a
common tie might meet again in Ma
tional Convention and nominate some
eithen fit or unfit, for the
Presidency, and all 60 along nicely again
as before. But when they came to enun.

the South seeing in their imagination a
rope and a kind of an uncomfortable moose
at the end of it, which does not exactly
suit their ambitien, said: We will have
to do with yoa one way or the
other, we will have separation any way.
Then these gentlemen began to reconsid-
er their idea, and some of them think
that Upon the whole it is best to prose-
cute the war. That has been my idea
from the beginning, There has not been
