Perspicuous and Sarcastic.

The editor of the La Crosse Democrat in
response to some adversary, who denomi-
mates him "a sound Copperhead, " comes
back at his foeman in the following perspic-
uous and sarcasticstyle: ..... ,-..
ut makes no difference to us whether the
editor of the Journal likes our syle or not,
for the good opinion of a petty thief, a
psalm singing, naTow-he headed pedagogue
who spends his time between a rum shop
and an Abolition newspaper, is more worth
less than one of Lincoln's proclamations.
In the future as in the past, we shall en-
dorsc any Administration in its honest acts
and condemn those who do wrong, no mat
ter what their station and power. Whit
lets Of newspapers are satisfied to see the
head of the Supreme Court out electioneer-
ing at public expense, we are not. If such
platter Drained editors, whose only idea of a
newspaper is to beg produce or to black mai
its friends, admire this prostitution of posi-
ton, we envy them not their brains ideas,
orreputation for honesty.
We call things by their right names, ever
if hangman or tyrant stands at the back
door, and in after years, the men who have
stood with us denouncing all acts oftyranny
fraud and oppression--in defence Of the
laws and the constitution-in defence Of the
people againt thieves--the ballot box against
bayonets--the civil courts against military
trials and murders-the taxpayers against
plunderers, will be remembered and honor
ed, while the apologists for fanaticism, ty
ranny, inbeclity, usurpation of power anC
overriding of all human rights will be for
gotten, or mentioned with the same loath
ing sensible people have for army lice
