POLITICS..

The oft repeated corruption of American po.
litieal parties seems to be universally admitted
The effort to blacken and to render each other
odious IS common, open, and barefaced. just
soon as a man becomes a candidate for office,
all the harpies of the institution are let loose
upon him. The gates of he'll are thrown wide
open and out rush an Infatuated race Of spirits
and hobgoblins.
1t is said that,when Mr.Chamberlain of Buffa-
10 was set up before the people as a candidate
for the leg lalure, one Of the opposite party in.
yited him to take friendly glass, got him
drunk aud then put him on a whcrl-borrow and
wheeled him on exhibition around the corners
Of the streets. saying to the people with beau
tiful smile on his face, "Here's the Democratic
Senator! You see how he runs -
Now if the Wing party had found this man
drunk and then put him upon the wheel-borrow,
tho game would not have been quite so sharp.
But to take the advantage Of poor fellow,
mako him drunk and then after that wheel
borrow him was playing sharp gamo with
tools having a somewhat fendsh edge. Be
this rum'r true or false, ii may be taken as a
very fair illustration Of the spirit governing
political parties. 1t may not be possible to
trace out all the sources Of this corruption. But
do not think any one would exceedingly err IL
he should say that great deal Of it arises or is
a direct result from the state OF the so-oalled
Christian churches. But mo thinks hear
,sme saint saying: "Take care, Dir. Mudsll !
Don't cast any Of your mu.l al the churches =
Very we'll. shall be careful. Yet mudsll'
must be permitted to go down to the hard pan.
Observe, my friend, do not lay the charge OF
political corruption to Christianity. by no
means. The so-callsd "sharpers have not
bees drilled much in the school Of Christ. The
drill master OF the school Of "sharpers" has an
ilk of quite a her stamp. But then we may
say it is barely possible that he, be his name
whatever II may, often comes into the churches,
aud under his hill some of the leading mem
bers become experts. What, did we say
"sharpers ?" Well, my dear friend. don't It
look so Let us see. Don't the sects try to get
ahead Of each other and prosslylo to SEQ which
shalt be the greatest2 Didn't Jesus, the Lord
once say 10 n church aye can compass sea aud
land to make one proselyte, aud when ho is
made ye make him two-fold mora tho child OF

Sergeant BATES, who has, since the close of
the war. carried the American Flag through the
extent of what was in name the Southern Con-
fs ieraey, and then astonished the English Lion
by crossing the Atlantic and passing through,
on foot, the extent of the British dominiOns Is
dubbed by Wisconsin paper "the prince OF
dead BEATS" and the international idiot" The
same papsr furnishes this brief biographical
sketch of him
During the war he was n resident of Wau-
kesha, Wisconsin, and was proverbialy known
as ga lazy, shiflless wretch" who would not
support bis family. A citizen Of that place,
who was drafted offered him, if he would go to
war as substitute, to support his family until
he returned. Under these circums tancss the
Sergeant was foisted upon the forbearauce of
the American people, and has never returned
to his homs, while the good citizens of Wau.
kssha are supporting the wife and children Of
this vagrant.
