Judge Wilson-Independent.

Elsewhere We give place to communication
from one OF Judge Wilson . supporters. who
signs himself "a Live Unburnt Republican,
Whatever that may mean. As to the gentle
mans Republication it is . subject upon
which, doubtless, much might be said on both
sides. II 10 true that he is 1t present, indsn-
tilted with the Republican party, and II 10
tru. also. that few short years ago the ins-
briate Andy, after swinging around the cir
Gle, appointed him one Of his Post Masters,
from which position he was incOntinsntly
kicked by Republican Administration at the
earliest opportunity. But we are not dis
posed TO write the biography of this great
'Unburnt,' although it might be made TO
point . mLYal OF adOrn tale but shall
briefly notice few points in his manifesto"

EDITOR PALLADIUM
By oil honorable editors, il is not consider
Cd allowable to make known to the public.
even by allusion, Who their anon ymous cor
respondents are, when the names of the
writer's have been confided to them.
With such editors however, Is have very
little honor, and less political consistency,
the case appears, from the above extract, to
be different.
One would suppose from reading the In
dependent EDITORS challenge, to examine pc.
litical records, that his Republication wAs
subject upon which there was little to offer
on both Sides on the principle that. who
drives fat oxen should himself be fat
nor in the given case, was there any ne.
cessity for the dishonorable betrayal OF the
Independents correspondent
The conduct Of the editor, to Fay the least,
does not supply evidence that small persons
are exempt from perpetr.tins corresponding
littleness and meanness in their actioss O.
sditors-or that he is capable of demeaninr
himself as 3 gentleman.
The political standing of the individual
criticised, is we'll known in this community.
re not only never voted with any but the
Republican party, but never acted, nor was
he identified with the patty of the sinebriats
Andy'-never contributed one cent to en-
courage that erratic traitor to those who
placed him in power, nor did he disgrace him :
self by attending the State or any other
'inebriate Andy Convention! Can-dars
the Independent editor say as much for
himself?
The writer has been induced to lock up
the files of certain newsp,per--the Brook
will, Amsricln--of which the In,!ependeut
man has probably heard at any rate the
numbers OF the paper in question sport the
name of one Mr.. Il. II. Swift as edissr-i,
may be different Swift from our Indcpen
dent Buzfuz.
Well this American makes some curious
developments, truly.
10 fact. political biographies ara some.
times wonderfully amusing!
For the presensonly very few-very prs.
cious excerpts will te given from the edi-
toriais:
"THH INEBRrATE AxDY's" PHILADELPHIA
CONVENTION.
"The Philadelphia Convention in numbers.
Enshus'asm and harmony was all its most
sanguine friends could have anticipated.

CONFIDENTIAL TALK WITH OUR SUBSCRIBERS

But when our subscribers determine our
paper is not worth the small sum of the
SUBSCRIPTION price charged, or decide to sup
port only such papers as are ready to m AXE a
crusade liz behalf of negro sufirage,&c.'
Negro SUFFRAGE is good.
THE EDITORS aADrcALIsM.
we had thought if Wendell Phillips.
lhaddeus Stevens and George W Julian were
The correct opponents Of Radicalivm that wa
were not affected with it TO an alarming ex-
tcnt.'
1t also appears from the same paper that
H Swift-whocver that az be-partici-
pated actively in the 'Inebriate Andy's' In
sisnapols state Convention and that he was a
member of tho committee on resolutions.
What Swift this was perhaps onr Indepen.
dent man can tell.
He may rise, come to the from. and pro.
coed.
The material is rich and abundant to show
that there arc hardly two sides to Swift's
political status.
The writer does not say that the 'Ameri-
can Swift is identical With the Independent
editor.
| But the rich placer of the American spoons
out we'll and must be reserved for future M,
it circumstances SHOULD render it necsssa,y ',
II 10 for the Independent to say.
There is also painfully sensational ru.
nor that there was certain autobiopraehi.
cal political sketch of the American Swift
carefully prepared and sent to the Tnebriate
Andy's Secretary Of the Treasury-detail-
ing infinitely the peculiar executive ability Of
the gentloman-his official integrity and bis
perfect soundness on the Tnebriate Andy.
Wonder If this biography is apochryphal o,
IL it cauonical
This puts us in painful suspense Can i
be possible that this is the veritable amateu,
editor of tie Independent, who is trying I.

And the American Swift can rest ssure,
that II he is identical with the Indepeudep
man and shall continue to slop over 50 pro

shall be adorned and the moral a. we'll point

On ths supposition that the American
editor 10 the shade Of the Independent, wha
are this community to think of the impudsnc
that would allow him to talk 30 Aippantly d

to exhibit the brazen cffrontsry of assumin
to teach this hea then peopls how to vote 70

Of his accomplishments.
The writer has not used near al, nor eve
the best material in hand, to illustrate h
subiect-nor does he ask any urgent tempts
ton to turn it to account and tale unfold
and hereby promises, il need be, to do b
part towards abating the nuisance that HI
