About that Liberal.


issue of the Democrat dated October 10Th,
with his usual weekly (lctttr,) dose dou
blcd. He seems to think that the people
arc more than anxious to receive all he
writes as truth Poor fellow He is very
much like man who once visited an is
land owned and occupied by giant and
his wife. the last Of the Huggermuggers
He was told that the giants attained their
sz; by living on a peculiar kind of clam,
found only in the caves of the island. He
at once began gathering clans and stor ng
them in cave. Every day saw his pile
Of clans increase, and every day he
climbed to the top of his pyramid Of claims
and thought of, and talked to himself
about his growing greatness. Still, sad to
tell, every succeeding day found him fec
bier in body and mind than he was the
day previous. His friends tried to prevail
upon him to quit the cave and the island
and return with them, to his home, but
he would not. The last they saw of him,
he was standing upon large pile of claims
a pigmy physically, and a ninny menta lily,
"orating" TO himself about his giant stat
ure, and ordering imaginary servants
about, as though be was an emperor.
Thus it is always with men of one idea,
and the modern Cromwell is no exception
to the rule.
Liberal Republican" on the first page,
writes about villainous villti~r," and
then fills his letter with "villainous slang"
He says that he has been advised to COW
hide this "villainoas vlIIfer." and even
severer puIshmentS' have been recon
mended by others. This advice was un-
doubtedly given by some person or per
sons, who wished TO see the redoubtable(?)
Oliver get his nose tweaked, if he should
become the avenger of his wrongs.
Then follows beautiful sentence
"And everyone who is familiar with his
lbelous pen, agree that cri,uinas prose
cution is the only method of controlling
that boundlcss disposition ever manifes,
in all his writings of defaming and ma
ligning somebody through the puerilc col
umns of his newspaper" There's gram
mar for you. Everyone agree" and
" 5oundless disposition of dcfamng," &C.
That's your best course, Liberal" If
yoN commence prosecution the State
will, perhaps, bear the borden Of costs for
you.
But to Liberal Republicans dose on
fourth page Of the Democrat Let US see
how fairly he reports when there is moth
ing to anger him. He says, II noticed
but few Grant men (more than half the
meeting were Grant men) present, and
few brill pups, the latter of which whined
and groaned and disturbed the meeting
till the Sheriff put one down stairs. when
the rest took the hin. and kept qniet.'
The disturbance was very slight. The
person put down stairs was drunk, and,
under Honest Old llorace's definition, be-
Tonged so the Democratic party. We
were informed whether true or not, We
do not know that the speakers had pro
cured this fellow, "whiskicd" him up, and
instructed him tor start the applause at
proper times. That they miseafcufated
his capacity. and of; course overloaded
him, with the above result
lie also speaks of a few others who
were stationed around the room to stump |
and yell" which, we are inclined to be-
lieve, the writer knew was a false STAGE
ment. The speakers themselves, and we
think ali present, except this fault finding
(" Liberal granny, were satisfied with the
order observed aud the conduct Of those
present generally.
lie says remarks were made in reply /
by Messrs. Vingoe and Smoker" Mr.
Vingoe occasionally interrupted'the speak
ers by a remark, as we noticed two weeks
ago, which he might have mitted. Stl,
Fingoe's "sallies of witt amused the au-
dieuce very much. and did not appear t.
disturb Moses at all.
lie further says, the former gentle
man of no merit except his antiquity, and
the latter a decidedly verdant youth"
That is rich. Because Mr.. Vingoe is an
old gentleman of too much good sense to
be carried away by the eiap-trap of this
learned Liberal, he has no merit and be-
cause Smoker is determined to steadily
work his way up to the upper story of his
profession, a place this grunbler never ex-
poets to reach, our Liberal must play
the part of tn dog in the nanger."
