Address, stating terms. A., -"
The Ingratrtudo OF Republicans.
Hon. SAMUEL GALLOWAY has worked
harder.san for. less pay, in the Republic
can party, than any other Republican in
this city. He and Hon. WIN. DENNIsoN
were candidates before the Republican
County Convention on Saturday for Dele
gates to the Republican State Convention.
They only received twenty-five out of the
seyenty-six votes polled. We remarked
Saturday evening to . Republican who be-
longs to the successful wing, that we
thought this rather hard usage to bestow
upon veterans like Messrs. GALLOWAY and
DENNIsoN.
"Hard usage behanged," he replied.
"lWhat have they done tor the party?
True, Mr.. GALLOWAY has made few
speeches or rather he has played the sup
pie jack for the amusement of tue ground-
lfngs; but has he ever made convert to our
cause? Not one. A monkey amuses
crowd; so does he. That's all there is to him.
He's been Secretary of State, Congress
man and had held some other offices that
were valuable to him. Oh, he's been abun-
dantly paid. As for the Hon. WM. DENIM
son. There's nothing to him but dignity,
and for that he's been greatly rewarded.
He's been in the Senate. Was Governor
and Postmaster General. The party owes
him nothing-not in the least. He with
the Honorable SAMUEL can stand
one side, and let the young, active
men OF the party-they>who do the work
have some of the honors, II not some of
the offices. We have determined that here
after there mast be fair deal to the young
men of the party and the workers. This
thing of allowing one or two members to
ride the party continually is played"
"well," we remarked, 'sthst is your bus
mess. not ours; but it seems strange, new
ertheless."
C0mpllmentary 10 the Republic
cana.
That what is called ''the leaders" in the
Republican party are patriotic is a ques-
tion that does not admit of discussion, If
you take their word for it. They urged
poor men to go into the drmy purely out
of love for the country they sought quar-
termasterships and sutlerships purely out
of love for the country. They sought of
fees at home, while the poor men were in
the field doing the lighting, solely beause
they loved the country. Thev oppose the
paying OF of the Public Debt that is not
stipulated to be paid in coin, in Greenbacks,
only because they love the country. They
want President JOHNSON Impeached and
driven, from Office, instantly If not quicker
fbfths.ake OF The country. The Ctacinnati,
GbssmeciaE knows these fellows and bestows
this complimentary notice upon them:
"There Is another fact worthy Of con-
sideration-that the strongest impeachers
are those who are Impatient for the spoils
tosbe distributed by Ben. Wade. If John
son is disposed of and Wade becomes
PresideBtod intsvips, there will. be such .
rush of office-seekers to Washington as the
country has never witnessed"
