SOMETHING has recently happened
to the Hudson Democrat. Heretofore
its quilts have stuck out in every direc-
ton. 1t was Star and fearful (tare)
here, and Tear (tare) and Stare-ful
there From week to week it has roll
ed itself in one round lump, like a
"fretful porcupine," allowing no man,
woman or child to approach it. But
this week it comes to us just as cool as
cucumber at midnight-as smooth as
amber, and as sweet as milk. We re-
joice to see the Improvement, and at
tribute it to the fact that the "Greeley
wave" has at length rolled oUer it.

Now Jay, that's too bad, since the
Judge was never known to kick back
wards, but always to one side. The
Judge will disdain your disdain, and
kick forward hereafter.
But Mr.. Whipple makes another
mistake in saying that the Judge voted
against a democratic nominee" for as

Beg your pardon, friend, but there was
no democratic nominee" for the as
sembly, in this district last fall. On
the whole we are inclined to think
the Judge is quite as sound on the goose
as our friend Whipple.

THERE is deal of talk nova
days, about the golden rule of forgive
ness, but who ever thought of not only
forgiving murderer, but of placing
the knife in his hands again and giving
him full power to STAY innocent victims
at pleasure? We fully recognize and
appreciate the injunction to forgive our
enemies, but we fail to discover it to be
further duty to elect them as our
masters, giving them our possessions,
and exclusive control over both person
and property. That is not the way we
interpret that rule, nor would we thus
apply it.
