they ignore our heroic and aged friend,
Gen. Smith, and leave us to doubt
whether he is still running rs candidate
for Governor, or has surrendered TO Gen.
Chamberlain. The Democrat says that
"no wild enthusiasm prevailed, and for
once we are inclined to credit its statement.
In fact, there was no enthusiasm of any
kind;-on second thought, perhaps there
was tame kind.
The convention was addressed by sever
al gentlemen, among whom we notice our
friend Hubbard. Mr.. ii. is always full of
fire and pluck, and always speaks well
when he has anything to say; but as the
father said to the boy who wanted to
charge" upon n scented animal, Il adj

Hear this gentleman crying in the wilder
ness:
We must make an aggressive war. No

knife at our heart, no soft and honied
words with the vampires and leeches who
have almost sucked out the life of free in
situations.
Really, "these be brave men,, who
forgot to make war upon those
who attempted to destroy the country,
but who are now brave TO make war upon
those who saved it. BY all means, gentle
men, make your little war, not forgetting |
your past Republication by the people when-
ever you came within ballot-hitting dis
lance; and remember that the same people
have AN interest in your war and will do
their own shooting, while the car of pro-
gressivc events, more stable and better
government of, for and by the people than
you ever dreamed of making, is rolling

proved themselves friends when friends
were needed, rs il has crushed so many
