q are w hlgS. The balance
George in the list of the balance
ARE mixture of Free Soil, anti
Tay lor, and Locofoco, so jumbled
up and stirred together as to en-
tirely pnt it out of our power to
designate their real politics.
Nov, If Georee had no principle
but the digger Isaac may b tight
in saying he made no concession,
that having been excepted in the
agreement But in the election
between him and Mr.. Parker in 81,
the Democrats refused to renew
the covenant, alleging that George
had not lived up to his part Of the
agreement and that is perhaps
the way he stuck to his principles,
about which we have heard so
much
Isaac is exercised about our dis
organizing the Republican party
lie thinks that after Georges with
drawal handsomely done, you
know his enemies ought TO let
him alone. That is certainly
Christian like view of the case
but it is urging virtue by one
man en- behalf of another, both of
whom give daily demonstrations
that they have more faith in the
Guillotine than any Christian viz
tue within the lids Of the Bible.
Only four years ago Colonel
Gray INDUCED in an aspiration to
seat ia Congress. and had the
impudence TO become Georges
competitor for a nomination. The
contest was close. but the Col. was
beaten-the public recollect ho~-
and withdrew handsomely done')
But how was lie let alone? Weeks
alter it was all over, this herald of
let alone, under t G inspection of
George and az his organ grinder,
came out in long editorial under
the caption Of Col Gray's Record,
and charged that the Col. took q
fine Government horse from the
army and held him until discover
ed by L. S Detcctiv and COM
pel}cd t. give him up; that during
the Morgan Raid lie was so drunk
that the movement of the army I'M
der his command had to be delay
ed until he got sober enough to at
tend to business and that during
the canvass he laid about the Ii
quor saloons in Richmond, drink
ing with a low grade of copper
heads. On the appearance of this
malignant effort TO ruin private
character, a very large number OF
soldiers who had been under the
Co.onel's command in the Morgan
Raid, published a card, stating that
the charge OF drunkenness was ut
terly false. But Isaac, to crafty
malignity, reiterated the charges
as late as the 26 h of April, and
then desistei only, when threatens
ed with a prosecution for libel As
@ comm Mt on the manner these
ISLANDERS we're Believed. the Colo
mel neighbors took him right up
and elected him to the State Sen
ate. OF which he has been an hon
orahle II ember ever since and |
learn from the papers that the
President has recently rendered
him a foreign appointment. l.
In addition TO this, and any other
Eumber OF like examples that
might he given, these men are as
corrupt as they are malignant. But
few OF the unsophis,icated, often
more credulous thar they should
be, know anything about the tribute
of dependents to Caesars Grown.
I Y
raitment, George himself levied
contribution on incum bents, Of
hundreds Of dollars, to snboru
presses into his support and to he
used in his election For this
charge | holl myself responsible
This game was tried on me, but
not by George in person Refus
ing to comply, / was told / had
better submit. Here ] might 90
on and state how much this, in
addition to my having voted for
Gen Meredith at nominating
election, had TO do in getting up
the charges of which Isaac speaks
for my removal, but the subject
leads SO directly to self and per-
sonal grievances, that [ really do
not wan: to either write or talk
about it, and care much less about
it than Mr. Julian or his friends
sappose | do.
The proposition for peace l
made was made in good faith, but
Isaac replied (and George says
lis we'll done )that it is ridiculous
and beneath contempt. Very we'll,
SO be it. No tears shall be shed
or sleep lost on that account. Nor
do l think that it'll give me much
Of back set in this world. ]
