ALTOONA Cry, June 8, 1863.
BLEND MAC-With one fell swoop T. l. y. .
has been aunlhilated. AT least the RAIDS are
Juoilantly prOclaiming that fact l have on a
/ previous occasion given YOU u true and authen
tic account OF the action II some of the leaders
OF the black and tan faction III re; ference to the
removal of the election polls from Col Woods
! hotel to a certain stable in the same ward Nv
account was In c0ntradistinction 80 one given
in Radical rag published in this city. l had
no idea, of course, that anything I or any other
Democrat might say would for II momen, com
mand'the attention o. meet the APPRECIATION of
the black and tan fraternity, but it seems that
the TRIBUNE has noticed my epistle far enough
| to take umbrage at the truths it contains and
under the pressure of this feeling gets off the
following chaste and crushing moroccan
"The time was when men lost their brains
they died. Happily for Il. l. HI. that time is
past"
Oh, dear how sublime and conclusive is such
argument as this And pray tell us wherc the
/ r. BUSE man ~ would be il that time was
not past, providing of course that he ever had
any brains to lose Echo answers "whera ?''
But now, McRUM, you may have my old
str Nv hat for spttoon tor the Grand A rmy OF
kumsuckers If that is not DERN sight cooler
than the biting breezes which blow over the
snow capped submits of the Alle2hanes! The
i'm Dudence of BeiZebub, OF his twin brother Old
miscegen Thad, is not to be compared with il {!
And from sUcl a source! If my religious
training Per mitted | would say cd a. mn il T.
for nothius, short of this Radical expression
would give vent to my feelings. And, great
Jerusalem, to think where it anne from The
Altoona Tribune, paper which never advanced
an original idea since the day it was established
"a papeptnat is Tor Grant and negro suffrage
"a paper that has been anything, everything
all things, SOTHING-a paper that, Wher com
PEELED 10 tell the Truth, Ga very unpalata dish
tor radical stOmIchs, } makes more contortions,
wrIgSHnSs and twlstnSs than would break the
back OF black snake. And Tor it to talk of
BRAINS. On, shame, where is thy blush Oh.
inIpuIenCc, IMP U OUNCE, where is Thy parable? {?

Radicaism and nothing better can be expected
of its aGheTents.
There was considerable Of fight among our
Radical friends here in the election of delegates
to their County Convention Some of them,
however, WORKed themselves through without
having their pro5oscls ftttened out. Mr. Bur
ley, OF Tyrone, was ring master, and no one
dareI to speak, walk or suggest ANYTHING with
cut his permission. The ccuYcu-ion was n
/ tensely lolI and party White 1 believe the
church bell ropes were not DISTURBED, although
