FOR GOVERNOR,

WHERE WILL IT ALL ENDl

litically, at this time, is such rs to
inspire the gravost approximations
as to our future. When thinking
ovcr the whole matter, Invested, as
we believe and hope we are, from
oil prejudice against our govern
ment and its administration, and
feeling,as we know we do, an earn
est desire that tho march of our
country shall be onward and glo.
rious, We breathe q prayer that
kind Heaven avert the threatened
calamities.
What hope is there for u people
whose lawmakers deliberately lay
their plans and as shrewdly and
cunningly carry them QUITO rob of
millions the very people who have
honored them, as did u large num-
Der of congressman in tho credit
mobilier matter, and what hope is
there ofa Congress so corrupt as
to refuse to place the stamp dieter
nal infamy and disgrace upon
their fellows who have been
guilty of this thieving and rob
bery2 And wherein are the
great mass of our last Congress
morally purer than Cakes Ames
and his immediate associates? Did
they not,with n singular unanimity
OF action, enter into a scheme, and
dishonesty carry it out, whereby
they stole from the government
million and half Of dollars =?
And President of tho United
States, a man elevated, as we wcro
from infancy taught to believe, to
q position higher than that of any
other mortal on earth, and only
little lower than tho angels, to do
scend from his lofty pedestal
and to use his influence to in
duoe a venal Congress to vote into
his capacious pockets an extra hun
dred thousand dollars of this great
steal,is humiliating beyond express
sion. And is this confined to either
one of the great political parties ?
With shame we are compelled to
acknowledge that it seems to have
pervaded all parties and sections;
that villainy and rascality are the
rule, and honesty the not frequent
exception. Even our own Con-
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by
honest constitucnts,we know, cant
in this hour hold up clean hands
to the public gaze,--not one but
fell under the influence OF self.in-
tcrest and the greedy desire for i'll
gotten gain. We seriously ask the
question, if it is possible for men to
remain honest in Washington?
And now comes across the wires
the news of tho assassination of
q brave and gallant officer of the
army, stricken down by the MUIR
sderous arm of n red devil. And
why? Simply that the President
may carry out his policy of moral
suasion with the sanity savage
that q lot of scoundrels with broad
brimmcd hats, composing the In.
dian ring, shall grow wealthy and
wax fat upon tho blood of the from
tiersman, who is bringing the
waste places OF TINS continent into
civiization,-in short, that high
government officials may satiate
their inordinatc hungcring and
thirsting after public plumber
F, Corners, synonyms, robbery, theft
and villainy; corners in every
thing--in gold, in currency, in corn,
wheat, potatoes, cotton, railroads,
politics and religion. We are
weary and sick of the prospect.
We hope and pray that tho AL.
mighty Father may watch over,
protect and save our country; and
as corners are in order, that the
vampires and thieves now running
and destroying our moral and
political fabric, may be eternally
damned to one of hottest torture
