ing desperate. Subject to periodical at
tacks Of this nature, he strikes out" Wild
", and, like person just learning to swim,
founders misersbly. When he finds he
has made mistake he wants to do some
thing to give him favor, and not being very
honest, politically, and not being a quick
thinker, as his old and valued friend, IS.
B. 8. will testify, his remarks are not as
wise as those of men endowed with more
political wisdom. This has betrayed itself
on more than one occasion, and, although
the actions might make one smile, still it is
best to IDEAL gently" with the erring one,
and In a spirit of kindness treat their fdibles.
So we do with Richard. We know his
weakness. When know-noihingism swal-
lowed up his party, Mr.. Hatton did not
know what tn do. So, one Saturday even
ing, in fit of deportation, he joins the
.kuow-nothings; and, next morning, while
yet in the spell or trance" as his spir-
itual friehdS would term it, being invited to
join, he united with the church, and caused
great rejoicing aulCug the saints when
they learned how great sinner was caught.
But he shortly recovered, and recognizing
the fact that Abolition editors have through
tickets" for the "other place he qiietly
withdrew, knowing what kind of work tc
had to do in the campaign.
Richard has an attack Of the sHtne old
complaint" at this time. When the great
Sherman rose superior to all party feeling,
and, like great man that he is, made
treaty that would have established peace
from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, and
when the infamous Stanton issued his pro-
nunciamento, denouncing Sherman as if he
were the worst traitor on the continent,
Mr.. Hatton read the kilograms which the
Abolition papers manufactured to order,
about the indignation of the soldiers at
Sherman, and, thinking he was on the por-
ular side, he launched all his bitter arrows
at Sherman, declaring that that General had
Surrendered ererytting to tie rebels, trying
to make the people believe that Gen. Sher-
man had been bought up by rebel gold,
and that he was a pro-Slayery copperhead
anyhow, and that none would stand by him
but ''rebels and rebel sympatiizers. " The
Democrats stood by Sherman, maintaining
that the memorandum" was the wisest
craftsmanship of the war, but even if not
it was great injustice to treat gallant sol
dier in this manner Why, to read the ar
ticies in the Republican, both original and
copied from the Cincinnati Gozehc one
would be led to believe that Sherman was
a gr at deal worse man than jeff Davis.
Well, after while Sherman men com-
menee coming home. Of,course their friends
wish to receive them is the right manner.
They and their great leader, have peculiar
peculiar hold on the affections of a large
portion of the people, and of course they
wish to testify to It, The Republican man,
having denounced them as copperheads
and rebel-sympathzers," we suppose is anx-
ious that that they should have no recep-
ton, or il they do have one, that there
ohouiu NC aliil tuiH uul. HOt ucilS as
signed any position in the entertainment
having even no more money interest in ii
than other men, he attempts to dictate who
shall attend and who shall not; HE, the
slanderer Of these gallent men and their elo-
rlons leader, tell who they shall meet. But
he is afraid these friends Of Sherman" cop
perheads, " he calls them might be prom,
inent, az if they could not give the soldier
a reception without a prominent position
The truth of the whole matter is simply
this: the Republican don't care uShabout
the soldiers, but ,cants their rotes for the
Abolition ticket; and laboring under one of
his strange spells he thinks now that he
can fool them; but he can t. Just close one
eye on that, friend Haiton.
There was time, however, whcn the Re
publican was anxious for Democrats to hold
prominent positions, and that was when
there was "call'' to fill. There was no po-
litical capital to make then, but it was +'bu-
ly boy go in." But what are We 10 think
Of the citizen who labors constantly for dis
cord? who labors to array friends and neigh
borhoods against each other, and have bit

confesses inability to reason, by adopting
the ruffan's billingsgate? Let sensible,
