| Many Republicans were not LITTLE
surprised to notice in a recent number OF

in the .Sdrer .Stiie of the Eth instant, com
mcncipg as follows:
The people throughout the Onion
are utterly disguised with the corruption
which oozes from the ulcero;is body OF
| the Republican party. They now under
stand that it is rotten to the core; that
the unprincipled leaders whosare respon-
sihle for its gapgrenous condition-those
who control its actions and directs its

The author of the foregoing also places
to the credit OF our Democratic Execu-
tive" the present satisfactory condition
OF State finances, when in tru;h-aside
from his duties on the Boards of Exam
liners and Prison Commissioners, (where
he is seldom seen, having been absent
from the State Capital, g: least three
faurths of his time since his Inaugural
ton. he has mad no more to do with the
financial transactions of the State Gov
ernment than the recent converts to the
'-honest" Democracy who wrote the ST.
The truth is, W. W. Hobart, State
Controller, while acting as State Con-
troller, has drafted every revenue law
of any practical utility-now upon the
Statute Books. He being the finance
officer of the State. has performed the
intricate duties Of his office SO well, all
warrants now drawn upon the State
Treasury are paid at sight. The largest
leak in the State Treasury was stopped
last Winter, when Republican Legs
lature deposed-as Walden of the States
Prison-an ''honest Democrat '-nomi-
mated and elected by the '.honest" De
mocracy of this State. It is little
amusing to see great National political
party, in its insane and hopeless en-
deavor to resurrect itself, after having. at
Baltimore, attended its own funeral, and
when, without itaiicising the brazen
falsehood and perjury implied in the act
of sale, 1t possessed the peculiar unman
Illness Of having been a traffic for the
OF office. 1t is also little

corruption into system. and of fixing
market value on every faculty Of mind
and every twinse of conscience. NO

aunication who pretend to think
nat we ever Endorsed any Demo
ratio ISLANDERS of the Republican
arty misapprehend us only because
hey want to. What we did was to
xpress admiration for a political
ritter who had the manliness to
tand up for his own party instead Of
willingness to desert it

'hich, at this juncture of politics, is
God enough watchword for us:
my MAN of any party is preferable
0 any political Eunuch.
