The position Of Mr. Charles O'Couor is, says
the Baltimore Gazette, certainly an anomalous
one to say the least fit. It is almost impos-
sitle to gather from his recent coquetry with
Blauton Duncan, whether or not lie intends to
permit bis name to remain at the head Of the
Louisville ticket. Although positively refu-
sing TO surrender to the seductive appeals O..
the Duncanites, he seems to have been in some
measure charmed by tier syIen tongues, and
acts very much like a coy maiden. who faint
" resists the advances Of passionate lover,
but at the same time is careful not to repuse
him too severely for fear Of losing him forev-
er. Meanwhile the S,raigLt-outs, knowing
how frail is human nature, are amazingly per-
sistent, aud confidently expect to carry the cit
sdel which, so far, has successfully resisted all
assaults. We fear it is the 3D. old story, SO
graphically told in the fate Of Don Juau's vic
tim
"a little still she strove, and much repented,
And whispering, Il will meier consent'-eonsented.

THE PLACE TO
To Candidates.

We notice that our State exchanges are
calling upon candidates for Office at the late
election to come forward aud pay for their an
uouucements. This necessity is sha meiul To
the last degree, No man who was a candidate
for office should withhold from the printer his
due, aud no man who does it, is fit for Office.
This is our private opinion, publicly express
Ell.
THE above we take from the Martinsburg
Statesman: very much our sentiments, but,
then, we are too modest to say we endorse
