The Republicans of Jones county have
nominated for the House p. G.. Bone

Democratic Testimony.

The Republican papers in that city
and out of it are saying now and then a
word about the fearful corruption and
mal-administration of the New York
Democrats, but after the following from
Brick Pomeroy, their criticisms are
tame:
"Ifthe Head Of Sachems of Tammany
can manage to secure the nomination OF
their man for the Presidency, and then
see him elected, there will be Inaugural
ted the grandest administration of theft,
corruption, profligacy, extravaganza and
crime the country ever witnessed.
The ring Of swindlers now holding
treacherous power in New York City
under the name of Democracy are doing
more to weaken the cause of Democracy
in the country at large than the entire
vote of the city can atone for.
This is Tammany!
This is the so-called Democratic au-
thority governing New York!
This is the devils combination of
thieves now running New York City
and State, nor for the good of the many,
but for the enrichment Of the few.
This the monopoly of corruptionists
now proposing to buy the nomination
Presidency, that Washington may be
included that some of the leading thieves
of our New York officials may be trans
planted to newer fields, but under the
same management!
1t j. for the Democracy Of the country
TO look to this-tO send to the National
Convention of 1872 men who dare be
honest to Taxpayers and to principles,
or there will be such a defeat, such a
disruption and scattering of the Democ-
racy as no power ON earth will ever
rally.
Honest men will not always endorse
corruption.
New York, the pigpen of Tammany
may submit to what It's people have not
pluck enough to help, but the Democ-
racy of the country aOiH not submit to
such dctation.
! Look at New York
One hundred and one millions Of dol
lars in debt!
And what have the people to show
| for it?
A steam yacht!
An Americas Club House!
A race track!
Railway, with Hon. George Barnard
tollkeeper!
~ palace for lying, slippery Dick Con-
molly, the comptroller, who went into
Office so poor that he could not qualify
in a thousand dollars-who il now u
millionaire.
A fortune of ten millions for Peter
Bismarck Sweeney, who was a poor
man when first appointed City Cham
berlain.
a alace for Hon. William Tweed, the
likeliest man in The lot, who has only
made twenty-five millions OF dollars out
Of the city by honesty and economy, in
ten years!
A fortune Of seven millions for A.
| Oakley Hall, the popinjay Mayor, who
squawks when his masters pull the
string, and pockets his percentage Of the
plumber while angling for the nomina-
ton Governor!
Six thousand harlots and nineteen
hundred dens of infamy supported di-
rectly from city stealings!
These are few of the exhibits for this
enormous debt which must be paid or
repudiated."

THE ART OF RETICENCE.

But there is art, the most consllm
mate art, in appearing absolutely
frank, yet never telling anything
which is not wished to be known,
i'll being pleasantly chatty and con
versational, yet never committing
ones self to statement or an opin-
ion which might be used against
one atterward--ars celds Grtem, in
keeping ones own counsel as we'll
as in other things. 1t is only after
a long acquaintance with a person
of this kind that you find out that
he has been substantially reticent
throughout, though apparently so
frank. Caught by his easy manner,
his genial talk, his ready sympathy,
YOU have conftled to him not only
all YOU have of your own, but all
YOU have of other peoples and it
is only long after when you reflect
quietly, undisturbed by the magne-
tism of his presence, that you come
to the knowledge of how reticent he
has been in the midst of this seem
ing frankness, and how little reciprocl
ty there has beenin your condolences
together. You know such people
for years and you never know re
ally more of them at the end than
YOU did in the beginning. You can
not lay your finger on a fact that
would in any way place them in
your power; and though you did
not notice it at the time, and don't
know how it has been done-now
you feel that they have never trus-
ted You, and have all along careful
" avoided anything like confidence
But YOU are at their mercy by your
own rashness, and if they do not
destroy you it is because they are
reticent for you as well as toward
YOU; perhaps because they are good,
natured, perhaps because they des
pise yott for your very frankness too
much to hurt you but, above all
things, not because they are unable
How you hate them when you think
of the skill with which they took all
that was offered to them, yet never
let you see they gave nothing back
for their own part-rather by the
jugglery Of manner, made you be
lieve they were giving back as much
as they were receiving! Per
haps it was a little ungenerous
but they had the right to argue thai
if you could not keep your own coun
sci YOU would not be likely to keel
theirs, and it was only kind at the
time to let you hookwink yourself
so that you might not be offended
In manner genial, frank, conversa
tional, sympathetic substance alb
solutely secret, cautious, never takel
off their guard, never seduced int
dangerous condolences, as carefu
for their friends as they art
for themselves, and careful ev
en- for strangers even unknown
to them-these people are the saliva
