Politics in Harrison.

They are having lively times in Har'
rison. The extracts from the C0nserrd'
tire, which we here append, are pointed
and pertinent:
Carlile read his own proof this week,
and as a consequence the spelling IN the
Telegraph is much improved.
1t is certainly hard on Carlile that
leading Republicans papers like the
Wheeling MtelljgNcer oppose his cleo
ton. but then you see, johnny, the
news that you had left the Democracy
hasn't reached there yet. 1t is 80 short
time, you know.
John S. opposed the bill admitting
West Virginia into the Union under the
Wiley amendment which abolished
slavery in the State. Now, the same
changing wants all the negroes who
were freed by that amendment to be
made voters.
Who wrote to General Jackson, at
Parkersburg, in 1868, urging him to iR'
augurate a movement which would de
feat the admission of West Virginia to
the Union
Answer-John S. Garlic.
After the Swedish Mission, what
Carlile. After Senatorial seat, what
Carlile. Mkt it will be-After the Of
fee of Constable, whatf Garlic. He's
the most persistent and pertinacious
politician yet discovered.
Carlile is so much occupied editing
the Telegraph this week that he has not
had time to go to the country. His ar
ticles this week are chiefly mads up OF
puffs of himself. We will give him a
puff on Thursday next that will raise
his Ebenezer.
Enter Northcou and Shuttlesworth.
North.-Ha Ben!
Ben.-By your leave, ! am cyphering
| North.-Some FOOLS sum.
Ben.-Yes; running Carlile's changes
| gainst the moons; John has it hollow,
1t comes out ten changes 'gainst FIVE
moons.
Ia December, 1862, when Carlile left
the Union party and Joined hands with
VallaBdigham, spoke from the same
stand at Indianapolis, denouncing A.
Lincoln and the war, a resolution was
offered in the Legislature asking him ia
resign his seat as Senator. Ben Shut
! Ellsworth wrote a letter to a deleg ate
denouncing Carlile as traitor and
urging the passage of the aforesaid
resolution.
Now, Ben boasts that Carlile is his
pet candidate. How lovely it Is fol

He commenced by assuring his hearer'
that he had not sought his nomination
that it had been forced upon him by BIZ
friends, but that he was willing TO serve
