THE BULLETIN ON THE RAM
PAGE.

The editor of the Virginia B"iisti" has
got the "hich-strikes got EN- bad.
He mono maniac, or rather 6"o-man-
lac, if there is such disease known to the
hooks. He is morbidly insane on the
subject of 4 State Government and as
crazy as a bed-bug on the subject of his
own pre-eminent sagacity and superabund-
ant patriotism. Whatsoever hobby he
mounts. he makes peculiarly his own
measure: he is the only true and genuine
original Jacobs, and all others are impos-
tiers; if others agree with him, they steal
his thunder, and if all unanimously differ
from his views, he alone is in the right and
all the world else are consequently wrong,
and proper subjects for the Scathings
and caStigation of his powerful and terrible
pen. He has now beStrode the hobby
horse of the State Government question,
which less than three months ago, kicked
BY the people, threw him and the Enter
prise and ourselves higher than kite.
We have not recovered from the shock to
this day. The Bulletin man was rather a
light weight and did not come down with
much of crash. He consequently soon
recovered from the effects of his tumble
and is ambitious of trying the feat over

around little while and get our wind:
and if the B,sllstin succeeds in establishing
a State Government before We get ready
10 mount the saddle behind him, ne shall
be welcome to all the glory, and we will
shout the praises OF the illustrious founder
of the Silver State. Il. all candor, how
ever, he ought to read St. Paurs epistle to
the Corinthians on the subject Of charity,
and practice little Of that Christian
virtue toward his brethren of the Press,
who do not happen to be quite as smart
as he is. and not quite so brave in assault
ing and brow-beating the people who have
so recently and shamefully vanquished
him and them. \ little of that charity
would also render him less prone TO i'm
pugn the motives of those who elect to
remain silent when he sees 6tto bray. 1t
is barely possible that with all his sagacity,
he NAV sometimes err when he seeks to
fathom the hearts of his tellow-men. Man
is sallible, and perfection has never yet
been attained, as far as heard from, unless
in the case OF the Bu!letin man, and Of

: all of wrath upon the heads of the
whole editorial fraternity Of Nevada, be-
cause they have not reused as one man,
at the braying of his trumpet on the State
Government question. He comes down
on us with all the crushing weight Of his
pen, and the ponderous influence OF his
paper. II IS too much, we cannot bear It,
and are compelled to protest. Hear how
he talks about the whole unfortunate tribe
ofus:
Here in this Territory haO nearly dozen
public journals, some OF wide and extensive in

man capable Of steering the Ship OF State through
the troubled waters Of rebellion, treschery and
corruption which il has got to pass for the next
four wears. is in danger Cfdeteat. defeat tha'

The people of this Territory are appealed 10

abiding faith in the Union by adding another star

What do You think of that, good peo-
pie: Isn't that pretty rough on the boys:
In addition to the deleterious effect it will
have upon the present business and future
prospects of all the delinquent press in
the Territory, it strikes us as pretty devil
ish cool In fact, if one were to use the
expression "barefaced, brazen impu-
dence," itwould not inaptly apply. When
last fall the proposition Of rejecting or
adopting the Constitution and the forma-
ton of State Government were before
the people for their consideration, this
paper and several others in the Territory
took the affirmative on the issue, and
pleaded earnestly with the people in favor
of the measure, while this same man Of the
Bulletin was battling against it with
might and main, until, at the eleventh
hour, he Topped over so suddenly that
the concern was accused Of having been
bribed! These facts are fresh in the minds
of the people: and now for him to set
himself as the censor of the press and the
patriot, par excellence, Is, 10 our mlno,
cutting it rather fat.
To conclude this article apd dismiss the
subject and the party FTho furnished the
theme, we have simply this to say: We
are in favor of a State Government; we
have written and published columns to
bring it about; we have used every argu-
ment we could think of to convince the
people that it was for their interest, and
we signelly failed. They voted US down
FIVE to one. We could say nothing new
