it gets things sadly mixed up. It char
ges Sherry with having held ont induce.
ments to il to support the fraud :" and
upon the strength Of this. says We tried
to bribe it. and then abused it because it
refused to be corrupted
We have but few remarks to make
to the Courier. We never tried to bribe
it. or any one connected with it. We
never offered them any advice or sugges.
tions - to their. political course. We
we're, - it says, friendly toward it. until
it commshesd rsnins and pitchios against
the "fraud, )" and charging the sixty-eight
members who voted for it with having
been bribed into the preparation Of an
outrage. As that meant us. (for without
| rs there would hsve besu but g. We
told what We knew about the Courier
publishers opposition to the "frsud,"
and which ws here reiterste: that bis
main reason was, that be didn't like Csr.
ney. because be had refused to advertise
in his paper! We are not Gen. Shsrry's
keeper. We have no control over him,
and never attempted to have. He has NO
control over us. and never attempted to
have. Whist he does, should not subject
rs to abuse; and what We do. should not
b charged to bis account.
But the Courier. in its blind splurges,
whichit considers "sockdologsrs." has
favorits habit of ovarstepping long es-
tablished editorial usage. and instead Of
applying its sbuss to the Chief, makes q
personal pitch at "Sol. Miles," or.
when it aims to be unusually sarcastic,
at "Mr. Solomon Miller" We shall
thsrsfors Be szeusable zinrepiyius in like
manner. WeEnow state that We take no
account of John P. Cone in this matter !;
for he writes very little for the Courier,
and that little is silly and bunglsd. His
most inveterste enemy would not accuse
him of being competent to write D. re-
spectacle. readable article of three words
in length. He originated in Coos Coun-
ty. New Hampshire. where the sun never
penetratss. He travelled to Kansas in .
bsndbox; and being let out just as the
sun was setting. be imagined that lumi-
nary TO be the hind end of buffalo Just
disappearing over a prairie swsle. The
principal writing is done BY one j. y.
Hsbbsrd, from the Genssee country, in
New York, famous for its bloodsd sheep.
He is . man Of some intelligence. and
might make it useful, were it sceomps-
nisd By . rqpsosabls smqnut Of common
sense /; but this faculty is choked ont by
bis enormous bump of self-conceit, ss
melon vine is smothersd out in . pump
kin patch. He has assumed q guardian.
ship over Cone. himself being under the
guardianship Of somebody else. The po-
ct describes such cases, in the following
couplet
"Bis asas have little 6ess and lesser Hess bite 'em;
These nsss hav. smaller asas. ssd I'D inanitsm."
In short, we know that Hebbard owns
Gone, and We know who owns Hsbbard.
Sherry is what's the matter. If Sherry
were opposed to the "fraud" and in fa-
vor Of Lane, the Courier would be the
reverse. Sherry is an eye-sors to the pro.
prietorship of Hebbard. and therefore be
can do nothing but what is wrong. Tho
Chief happens to agree with Sherry in
the present political contest in Kausas !;
consequently the Chief must be scolded.
Hsbbard is likewise pumpkins" Oh
morality-hss read the Chief many .
homily upon the subject. He is ono Of
those strictly moral and temperance men
who refuse to treat persons on election
day for their votes. but give them dime
to buy . drink for themsslvesl We
want no such men to lecture us upon
morality and consistency. flour politics
don't suit him. be has . right to object !;
bot We claim the privilege Of selecting
our own preacher. We are responsible
for our own scts, and presume Sherry is
for his. When either Of 1s finds be can
not withstand the trsnsesndent wisdom
and sarcasm of the Phstises who furnish
- bosh for fhe Courier. aperhsps hs viii

~ A Republican. more xesloss than
wise. said to us the other day that he was
determined that no man should vote for
Mcclellan in bis town. That would be
