POLITICAL GLEASINGs.

~AAA' Il IL 4uCSAOShtS tuIuhS w II. Z ISL
Esq, is an unfit man to be voted for by The
tax-resistere, because one Of the editoria
writers in the REPUBLICAN wisely declared
such tax-resisters to be enemies of the
State, y and humorously suggested that such
lunatics ought to be knocked in the head
for their own and the good of the public in
general
That this journal was q better friend to
the tax-resisters than Mr.. McCIoskey in this
| matter, is easily demonstrabIe. The seiz-
ure and advertising Of their property for
sale, was a direct and large pecuniary ad-
vantage, which Mr.. Fish was not only
willing bub anxious to sacrifice in order
to save the credit of the State and
city, and his mistaken and nl-advised
fellowcitizens from large and unavoid-
able pecuniary loss in the way of
legal penalties, costs and fees. This spirit
entities Mr.. Fish to the warmest commen-
dation OF all those whom he sought to be-
friend, even # theyEfailed to heed his advice
rather than their animosity, DIS AIp. McClos-
key suggests.
Now for Mr.. McCloskey's merits in the
controversy. While preaching tax-resisting
to a lot of foolish and TOO credulous people
he, fully six weeks ago, made secret ar
Tangements with General Sheridan or his
deputies for the payment Of his own taxes,
thus escaping the seizures and penalties
which his more 8crupulouaIy honest dupes
must suffer-
Further, while doing his ieyel best, under
the guise OF patriotic movement, to depre-
ciate the city securities upon the collection
of these resisted taxes the payment Of
whose interest depended, his money was
being invested in these bonds at their de.
preciated rates, thus giving him double in.
terest On his money, besides proving his be.
lief that the tax-resisting movement which
he was fostering was failure j? not
fraud.
If Mr.. McCloskey does nos get those
10000 votes of tax resisters he talks about.
he ought to write few letters to the Pica-
y10se showing how only he is homes: and |
they are all corrupt.
The P;coyune calls upon the various can. !
didatcs for legislative honors TO step up to |
its little office and sign q reform pledge. A |
failure 30 do as requested seems to have |
struck some half dozen as furnishing !
pretext to trade them off the ticket they I
happened 20 be on yesterday. and this num-
Der promptly rushed into print; but, as a
general thing. candidates don't seem to take
to this total abstinence doctrine kindly.
That irresponsible halter, Booth, under |

5ype in ogdeg to make this solitary point,
viz:
