After the trcs begins to totter and fairly to
doubt which way the tree will fall--he !,
jumps.
Our silent politicians arc like tho coon.
Whenever it becomes perfectly apparent
which way political affairs are going to turn,
then these Solons will speak out vociferously,
as soon as it is safe for them to do So
Mark these men-thesc silent Solons They
arc towards, and VIC want brave men in times
like these.
Gov. Perry is brave man. He may bo
wrong-we believe some of his conclusions
arc--but we a thousand times prefer such men
to those cowardly COON politician who are wait
ing until we arc ruined, in order that they
may see what advice will be most profitable to
them to give US.
Away with such patriotism.
To the dogs with such politics.
If inaction is the true policy, let them say
If they believe in radicalsm, let them an.
nounce it now.
If Gov. Perry is right, let them say SO.
Here half dozen men have spoken, after
months of agony and tyranny Are these
half dozen all our political leaders
Indeed, seven years ago, after secession was
and advisers, and country savers, so many that
with dozen each night, it took month to
hear their speeches and all their advice
Where arc all these men
A few of them sleep on the battle fields
but the great body of those eloquent men ncy-
er got sleepy in chat way.
Eternal silence, it is true, would become
them well; but knowing that they arc ready
Gas soon as the tree begins to fal) to jump to
the front and tell us all about it, we dcem it
proper to call their attention to the subject
now.
Col VIM. c. Preston (pcace to his honorcd
mcmory) once described certain of our politi-
clans as resembling the sea gul-that the sea
gull, buffetcd, driven and dashed onward by
the violo~ &c of the storm at sea, seeks q foot
hold at .ast upon some jutting crag, and look
ing back upon the tcmpcst-the troubled wa
ters beneath and the laundering clouds above
-and fancies, poor thing, that it is leading
n that storm \. 5i5; 81 i d so KS; ;fs W Ks 81 :
