The pictures Of the latter class, notwith-

scenes from ,hc South TO the North and
place the responsibility upon the should.
ers of the innocent, seem to furnish
abundant amusement for the depraycd
tastes Of our Court House politicians. We
were forcibly reminded Of this fact the
other duywhen we stepped into the coun-
ty Treasurer's office and saw hanging
upon the wall wood engraving, placing
lLiYcoLS, SEWARD, SUMNER, GREELEY,
&C., in the attitudes of fsasiing, bowling,
riding and paying compliments to negro
wenches, and rice cersd. The design
throughout is a gross Misrepresentation,
got up for the purpose ofplaciug the lead
ers OF the Union party in false light be-
fore those who are too prejudiced TO be-
lievc anything else. The only motive we
can ascrbc 10 SmAs w. SHAW in keeping
the wallis Of his olIico bedccked with this
I"pieturc,r as he is pleased to term il, is
to insult Unicn'mcn when going into his
office to pay their taxes. Mr.. SHAW is
either aware that il is base and false
representation, or he is iguoran, enough
Ia believe that such scenes have occurred
One of the two. We are inclined t.
think il is the latter. We do not think
that the, ,grsat. Dcmocrqtic party ot
Ssnt ca county twould commit such u
great mistake as to elevate TO the re.
sponsibc position of County Treasurer,
u man dishonest enough to display false
aud scurrilluus carcamres in his Office
with which to insult his political oppO.
nents WHOM going to him to transact
their business, We exculpatc the Demo.
cracy of Seneca from any such intention.
But It's possible that they might do the
other thing, and IN the case In question
they have probably succeeded. Yet we
do not think this their lsult but rather
their misfortune. s .a...
The Honorable SsLAs seems to be al
ways considerably agtated upon the
question of "hegro cquuiiy," which, in
his mind, seems to imply the privilege of
negro to disregard all social folmalitics
and the right of entering ones mousse
with out knocking, eat at ones table
without being invited. and marry ones
daughter without consulting the feelings
Of the young lady or the appreciation of
the Ofitctionate parents. He seems to
make himself sort OF bulletin board by
which the an,iluatcd Democratic spin
stcrs of the country advertise their inien-
ton to have "whitc husbands or none"
,1uring the last poltica campaigns it was
no, unusual to sea youn ladies ilocking to
Dcmoc. .'atic gatherings carrying banners
with devices appealing to their fathers
and brothers 10 protec; them from "negro
equality" and from the frequent |amcn-
table walls which we hear coming up
from the Honorable SILAS we are led to
believe that he is one of the "lathers.'
We really begin to have fears tor SfLAs
himself lest the country should become
So "ruined" by the Abolitonis,s, End 10

unable to resist the destinations Of shining
Dnah or shambling Snowfall and ncon-
tinently fly to their embrace. 1t would
be serious matter for the De mocracy of
Seneca TO reflect upon The spectacle of
the Honorable SlLAs eloping to other
p rts with a tawny Moor or an ebony
Congo, aud we would suggest that they
take him in hand at once and save them
selves that humiliation.
J lie being possessed Of tender suscepti-
bililies, aud his uind continually dwell
ing upon the subject of "misccgenation,"
we think il would be good idea Tor the
Democracy of Seneca to provide an Osy-
lum for him and pll the antiquutcd
females in the country possessed Of like
idosyncrasics, with DR.. o Ids for superin.
teuden,, in. order that they might be bet
ter protected from the ruthless ravagCs of
American citizens of African descent.
Good bye, SILAs
