The hisity Of many of his assertions are
so p~alpable, that one wonders how any one
maing any pretensiOus to truth, could utter
them. Even his own radical friends are
ashamed of it, and say it detracts from their
boosted honor, in refusing to keep any "reg-
istered lists, or after claps' as they call them,
and not permitting any one tovote who would
not likely support their tickets. 1t was noto-
rious, they say, on the'day of election, that he
himself rendered tickets TO two ''rebels." so
called, if they would vote for him. But all
is fair to the winning side, and might makes
right is the motto Of those who love war more
than peace. MORE ANON.
