Eercman's Organ.
BoREaAN has a new mouth-piece.
Learning from the REGISTER that the
Radical paper of this place was more
his enemy than his friend, he has en-
ployed :, less treacherOus drudge in the
work of pauderism. We refer to the
Parkersburg Times. The transaction
appears 10 be complete, so that We may
fairly infer this sheet to stand as wholly
and solely his. Organ, monkey, grinder
and good will, with all the appurten-
aaces thereto appending, seem to have
been handed over 20 their new posses
sor." This is not the first recorded in
stance Of fdemoniacal possession. MILTON
records the most remarkable incident of
the kind, while the New Testament cites
several similar occurrences of lesser
note, that in which certain swine were
"entered into" being the most analogous
to the present case.
Oar kiudaess of of heart compelsi us
to be sorry for the Times. Such misfor-
tunes always appeal to the best senti-
ncnts of ones nature. We suppose the
Gergesenes felt sorry for the hogs that
rushed violently to the sea, and we
confess to much sympathy for the un-
happy victim Of our suial! SATAN.
Nevertheless, as the identity of the Times
as il was, is lest in the degradation OF
the Times rs i! is, We cannot overlook
the diabolism that now exists, in our
regrets for the harmless gIovclling that
has been. Our Parkersburg cotempo-
rary will therefore understand any ap-
parent change in our manner of deal
ing.
The chief purpose Of the Times under
it's new inspiration. is TO defend BORE
MAN. Ia this it's zeal and seryility are
all that could he wished. They are
sufficient to show, not only that he
owns the concern, body and soul, but
that the precious bit Of property is not
fit to be owned by anybody else. They
establish q remarkable adaptation of
possession TO possessor, like that Of o
black cat to malignant old witch, or
of mangy dog to mean niger. In
its ardor in behalf of its present owner,
the Times falsifies the record in
q manner that shows that any
shame it may ever have had, was part
Of BoREMAS's purchase. Wequote from
the Times Of Saturday, and of Wednes-
day. We are requested to believe that
in introducing soldiers among US, " our
Governor was true TO his post" Further
We are assured that while he secured
the peace and safety of the Union mon,
he had shown these rebels and their
supporters that they had to deal with
one who knew tLcm, and who also
knew and dared maintain the rights OF
the people in general under the laws
which he had sworn to sustain"
In another place it is insisted that
FOREMAN is q man "whom not only his
party friends, but even his opponents
know to be an upright and faithful pub
lie functionary, who commands the re-
spect Of every man not blinded by a
vindictive partisanship."
Examined by thelight Of facts, the fore
going stuff is seen to be shameful false
hood. The Constitution Of the State
declares that, in addition to his regular
