would scorn to reveal their heart
aches TO the gaze of an unfceling
world. We had no idea of calling Mr.
Bird out upon this subject; in fact
what we wrote was written more be.
cause we had nothing else to write
about, than for any other reason
Still we arc glad he has appeared up.
OH the stage, made his little bow, and
spoken his little piece. He has ex-
pressed himself as entertaining feel
ings of love and alteration for PrItOr
Booher. Shanks and Snowden. 1t is
a fine thing to be loved. We've been
there and know. Perhaps, however
in this instance Bird ''loved not Wisely
but too we'll"
BY the way, the best thing he gets
off in this remarkable communica-
ton of q remarkable man, is the idea
of clique in Rochester. If there is
one it is composed of about four hun
dred honest voters, who are all "SOne
punpkin" on fusion, and who are not
run and controlled by PrHtOr and
Booher as Bird very generously in
fers. We may have worked for
Snowden on election day, and prOba-
bly, did, and the reason for doing so
was this: Snowden yOtOd for, and
his influence was directed in behalf of
Web BoOher last fall. Bird prOmis-
ed Web his influence, and then went
completely back on his word. Yea,
verify, Newton Bird, we never forget
a friend nor forgive an enemy; and
didn't we ''scoop" you on election
day. God Almighty, the Ruler Ofthe
Universe, despises hypOcrite, and
YOU doubtless realize the force Of
these lines of LOngfellOw
grind exceeding small;
Though with patience He stands waiting, with
eXactncss grinds He all.
Ii Mr.. Bird is dcsirous of scoring
Pr2tor and the clique, wouldn't it be
advisable for him to give some COM
petent person five or ten dollars to
do the job up in a systematic manner.

Reply to Mr.. Bird.

Ed. REpUBLICAN:-"T is 6
tide in the affairs of men, which, il
taken at its flood leads OH to fortune .
and if we may be allowed tojudge by
the sayings and writings of men, we
come to the conclusion that Mr.. New.
ton Bird, has been caught by the tide
and landed high and dry in the lap OF
fortune.
We read the gentleman's letter OF
April 23d, and must say that we new
er saw more pusillanimity, venality,
corruption, and political rottenness
expressed in so few lines.
