NOT a ONE NAN PARTY.
Colonel J. B. Walton has lately en-
countered some Of the manufacturers Of
political rumors, and the result Of the in
terview is likely toprove disastrous. to the
gentlemen Of fertile minds and forked
tongues. For the Colonel, with his char
acteristic directness, applied at once to
headquarters for answers to the questions
involved. There are few men (and for
tunately they are but fewin number), who
are constantly haunted BY the shadow OF
Governor Warmoth. His name and fame,
his deeds past and prospective, his every
movement, occupying. the limited space
assigned by the niggard hand Of nature to
brains. They have him for breakfast,
they have him for dinner, and they see
him in their midnight dreams. In their
distorted imagination he fills every va
cant place, and pushes all sorts of people
from all sorts Of stools. At one time he
IS to incontiently crowd Kellogg off the
Customhouse ticket, and become the
leader Of the Grant forces. Again, he is
to Join with. the dissatisfied Billings, and
run with him on a ticket Of their contriv-
ing. Even the nomination Of McEnery is
only dodge, for Warmoth is to come in
there at the last minute, send Mac to the
Senate, and take command of the Bour-
bon forces. So long as these fooleries are
directed to Kellogg McEnery, and such
small fry, the people paid no further at
tention to them than to laugh at them and
their authrs, but when they put down the
great Liberal movement that now attracts
the attention and enlists the sympathy Of
the whole State as one man party, and
ask sensible men if it is not all in the-in-
terest Of Governor Warmoth, they pune
ture their own air bladders, or at least get
them pricked very summarily. Colonel
Walton asked Colonel Penn if such were
the case. The latter having never heard
that it was, replies accordingly, but to be
sure Of the matter, calls the Governor
himself as a witness.
1t is not a little Notifying that the po-
litical scouts Of the Bourbons and the
Customhouse should know less of the in
tentions Of the Liberal party and the Gov
ernor than they know of themselves, but
it is nevertheless a fact, as the correspond
'ence between Messrs. Walton and Penn
and Governor Warmoth conclusiyely
shows.
We are thankful to Colonel Walton for
bringing this question up in the shape he
did AS he has placed it and left it, it
shows the newsmongers in their true light
of ignoramuses, who delight in meddling
with other peoples business. The Liberal
party has mission to perform Of more
than the election of Governor
Warmoth or any other single individual to
Office. They are organized to till the soil
of this State and cut down and extirpate
the noxious weeds that overshadow the
corn and complain that it crowds them.
The means to be employed will be the
election of sensible men to Office. Not for
the benefit of the men thus selected, but
for the good Of the State. If it shall
chance that Governor Warmoth is chosen
out Of many good and suitable persons,
that will be matter for congratulation
among the Liberals, but Of little or no
concern to the Bourbons, since no man
who is likely to be nominated and elected
will manifest a very tender regard for their
mania for Office, which is the sole link
hat binds them together.
The Liberal movement has for its OBJ
ect to keep the political affairs Of this
State out of fhe control of the thirty
.yrants who constitute the leaders of De-
nocraey, and place them in the hands Of
he proper representatives of the people
men who will be selected from all classes.

here is to be any aristocracy at all in the
lew party, it is. to be founded on brains
nd human feelings. If Governor War
moth shall be found worthy to represent
uch party and lead it to victory against
be Bourbon and Customhouse hosts, who
an complain? 2 The vote will be perfectly
rec, and confined to the members Of the
,arty. Can not the Liberals enjoy the
anne rights accorded to the Bourbons and
he GrantitesP Can they not be permit
ed to select their own leaders? Are they
o be questioned in advance as to how
hey will exercise this right? By their
riends they probably may be, but not by
uch politicians as Colonel Walton al
udes to.
THE PISTON TICKET.
