or Doolittlc thus, by the Editor of the
Dubuque Times:
"Whenevcr man can be found wan
dering up and down the land with the
mark of Cain upon his brow, one wis is
spurned and driven with contempt from
the abodes of honest men; one whose
oath in court of justice would be consi-
dcred of no more Importance than flea
bite on the trunk of an elephant one who
is looked upon with detestation at home
and refused admission to genteel society
abroad--th democracy of Dubuque are
always sure to favor him with an invita-
ton to deliver them a speech somewhat
such man they found ut last in the per-
son Of the renegade Doolittle from Wis
consin."
In the "takc.back" Barnes says The
regrets it got into the paper; he has
known Mr.. Doolittle twenty years and
always esteemed him man of honor or
words Of this substance. When such
language is printed what reliance can you
place in anything said by the Dubuque
Times?
To assist the monkeys of Hamilton
"show' in manufacturing other and more
interesting gatherings for their readers,
we clip, from the organ of which the Doctor
is President. the following pretty things.
Our readers can see by these last week
samples why we seldom refer to the paper
which they are employed to engineer. A
notice Of ours, once in three months, will
keep them rafting round their cages a
whole year. We speak Of them this week
out of charity.
''The bloated old editor of the Ku. Klux
organ of McGregor, is now very much
down on wealthy people," and evil
IDENTIFY thinks that man who has saved q
few thousand dollars from his labor or his
business, has no rights which poor men
are bound to respect. We never yet knew
a man who spent the best of his years in
.grog shops, wasted his income for grog,
| and in consequence entered upon old age
pennyless and despiscd, who did not hate
all his neighbors, who, by temperance and
| frugality had reached higher niche in
the social and financial scale than himself.
The editor of the McGregor Ku-Klux
organ is no exception to the general rule, ~
This is very pretty, and SO much be-
lieved in McGregor!
Here is another precious exhibition on
the part of the Chief Monkey:
''In this city the Democrat who has
most to say about taxes is a certain old
editor who was SO closely allied to bounty
Jumpers during the war, that he got him
self in prison, down in Indiana"
We clip these pretties just for fun.
Amos Pcarsall, Oscar Burdick and IL. d.
George, Esqs., all of McGregor, and all
Republicans, will certify to the falsity of
this statement in any and in every respect.
No: to neglect the organ Of the Hon.
Doctor Horace Hamilton entirely, We ap-
pend little "explanation'' from the pen
Of the soldier boy of the West Union
Union, HENRY RlcKEL. "lIank' is little
rough on the personal appearance Of
''Nasty," but wishing to give the unwashed
"critter'' opportunity to display his talent
for filthy scribbling, we administer this
week reasonable dose of croton oil. 1t
will mortify us much if we fail to awaken
the morbid malaria of his political viscera:
''LocAL MATTERS. "-Tompkins, of the
McGregor Ne,cs is hurt! Tompkins feels
bad. His feelings have been terribly
lacerated, and he says our Juni is the
chap who did it; and he proceeds to dis
charge ut us his usual vocabulary of bill
ingsgatc. We could have stood it all well
enough but for the fact that he claims to be
relative Of ours. lie says we are an ''imp
of the DEVIL" and if such be the case of
course he is our father Great Caesar! to
think that we should ever be claimed by
such monster as Tompkins as son!
It's too much to bear. Well sue him for
libel. But then, he can't be in earnest.
lie must be joking, us did the disguised
radical who sold his stock in the Ne,cs
Office for ten cents on the dollar in confed-
crate money.
Tompkins only complaint is that we
published an item regarding the sale of
his newspaper stock for confederate money.
lie admits it is true, but says the disgust
cd radical who did it was joking fellow,
and that it must have been in joke. 1t
might have been, we can say. Probably
he was joking as he did when he said that
Tompkins was ''lyihg, lousy, dirty old
scoundrel!' But if that is the way they
joke about Tompkins in McGregor, we
would like to know what they say of him
when they are in earnest.
TOmEkins also takes OCCASION in the ar
ticle eferred to-, to boast of how much
money he has, how many presses, &C.,
and that he can buy all the copperhead
papers in Iowa, north of Dubuque. We
are glad to hear of his prosperity, and
hope that if he has SO much money he will
purchase bar of soap and coarse comb
and clean himself up, before he again
claims to lie relative of ours.
SHANNON, of the West Union Gazette is
getting scared. Hear him:
We have definite promise that some of
the leading orators of the nation, from
other States, shall address our citizens
here, in October.
Is it possible that between Billy Mills
popularity and Col. Thomas indepcndency
that Allison will require the aid of "the
leading orators Of the nation to save
him from deieat2 We did not know the
extent of the Fayette County radical fright
until now. And SO the case is pretty bad,
Ell? SHAN? All the doctors in the nation
sent for! And this grand visit of gradu-
