We have lately had occasion to spesk Of several

attempted to sell ont the Rckct, and have invari-
ably been filcd in II, the best We can 90 sscut 1t
IL to be Jolly over their discontinue. We can let
them command their Inouth-picce to blow its ba-
zoo, and we can let it blow it.
Since the RspsblicdR has been 50 prompt to bark
at the nod of Others let us see what II has done
for the party il prufesses to belong to. Conven-
tiou was held, at which men were nominated who
were known to be honest and capable men, and re-
liable Republicans But other gentlemen were
defeated, and were sore over it. They determined
to sell ont portion of the ticket; but appreciat
ing the fact that they could not induce the Re
publicans to knowingly elect Democrat, they
had Republican tickets printed, with the name of
one Democrat inserted in the place of the Repub-
lican candidate. They did this for the purpose of
deceiving the unsnspecting, and stealing their
votes for that candidate. Those tickets were
printed at the Troy Repxblods Office and the pub
lishers kHeg what they were designed for. They
never raised warning voice, to apprize the party
that q swindle was being perpetrated; and on
election day, If they did not asst in the cheat,
they took no measures to put Republicans upon
their guard. They may say this was a business
transaction, which they were not bound to di-
vnlge. Very we'll; let it 20 at that. But the
Repsbiicas for fear of offending certain men, nev
er gave the ticket q half support. One week it
grumbled at the Convention; the next week, said
nothing; and the third, it spoke sickly, half
hearted word in favor of the ticket, in about Q
stick of typo, while it devoted balf column in |
nrging Republicans to rally to the support of a |
man for office that had no political Significance |
whatever. And now, after the election is over,
having been privy to the attempted swindle;
moving that every word We said was truth, and
hat even then we did not tell one-tenth part of |
he trutl-knowing this it seeks to merit the |
miles Of these men, by stepping forward aud max
ing fling at "SoI- MILLER.
We trust the editors of the Repxbiican will say |
no more about the treacherous conduct of their |
yuecesssor i'm the Savannah Ner Era, in betraying
The Republican party. If they are not treading |
in his footsteps, they are doing the dirty work of
nsn whom they kno~ to be guilty Of the very
same crime.
