tons II they wore soldiers, they
always bad something to say about
this NJ that officer OF soldier, who
should have done q certain way, but
they themselves, Here always right,
aud The men who we're not soldiers
had bloody battles Of words over
the campaIgns,with their neighbour,
but who keep well protected at the
same timo from the deadly missiles
of war. These glorious " honor
covered hresilo gen rails are 10 be-
found eyeryv here, and Il is a pity
they can't have a little war Of their
own to fight out the battles AZ they
would have them fought.
Ard now intime- Of peace, we fud
these same men at work with their
baneiul intlences. They curse and
abuse this or that party because
ucccss is not won. They display
their Intelligence, and high states
manship, and wonderful sagacity in
political matters, in continual Trades
upon this or that object without dis
elimination. They never attack
the victorious party. They jump on
those who are deieartcd, and be-
spatter them with their filthy slime.
And the present prospects OF the
Greeley and Brown movement gives
this class Of men y good opportunity
to exercise their vocation. Two
weeks ago they were loud mounted
supporters Of Greeley and Brown,
and were confident Of success. But
now that some OF the States have de-
clared for Grant, they are furious and
curse the Democratic party, aud say
this or that IL the cause. These men
are usually tricksters, and say, well,
the people wont do this or that
thing" "they must bow down and
use this or TINT trick or artifce 10
accomplish the ends These men
never look forward to a probability
of defeat. They neverprcpare their
opinions Tor my defense OF their
positions in case the cause fails they
have advocated, and TO shelter them
selves when defeat comes, they rush
to abuse OF their own side MS the
aafest excuse. We do not quite
think these croakers arc of so much
importance, They never found EN-
pires or establish any principle of
right. And we say LET 'em croak.
Many "bully" politicians there are
in our county who know this or thut
thing just a. well before it happened
as afterw, rds.
We ask our readers to just re-
member how many expressions like
this they will hear in the next few
days: at is just as | expected" 81
knew this or that cause would spoil
everything" This is a weakness of
character that all men should avoid.
Croaking is both foolish and use-
lees habit, and grows out of morbid
hate OF vanity, in either ease despi-
cable.
