(oar CtETEn) MUD other Democrats who nro
persuaded that thu country IL rining for
tlitm nnd them on]y; but nevertheless We are
inclined 10 congratulate A[r. rrSpLErox ul,ort
tho success which is attending him upou his
pilgrimage Of pure and lofty patriotism nnd
his mission Of loyo and department.
In following tho tenor Of Mr.. TEsnLEToN:s
remarks, however, wo confess to feelings of
mingled astonislncnt and doubt. Ills scri,o
tells us that "iu private conversation Mr.,
PESpLEroS said tie Democratic party was in
favor of hard money, III spite of all that had
bec,. snil to the contrary" Then, Of course,
as Mr.. pESnLEroN must DO elected by tho
Democrats, lie nluBt be in fnyor OF hnrd
money, iu spite Of MI tint Inns l,ccn said to
tho contrary. What sudden clango l,as come
over Gentlcmnn GEonaE TINT he should tins
cast OF bis rags and array himself in gold
md silver attire Why, sIr. TESpLEroN ns-
sisted at tho birth of tho Rag baby. Some
say lie was tho daddy Of IT, Ho Inns fondlea
and caresscl 1t. lie Inns tla.ltfictl 1t upon Lin
knee. lie Inns fed 1t when it was hungry and
dosed 1t when It WIS aics. Ito was The pro.
gcnitor Of the grconback scheme for paying
tho national debt In irredceulablo notos. lie
stumpcd Ohio for WILLIAM ALLEN nnl
mourned with him when tho Rag-Dnby turned
up its littlc toes, aud put on c weed when it
was laid away under the Inisics. Then he
climbed tho fence aud straddled it, md one
Of his gentlomanly legs ressed upon the hard
pan and the other upon rags. Now he Inns
swung around tho circlo. 1Io evidently
knows which wny tho wind blows. Like
HAMLET, he Was mud north-11ortl,-wcst in
Ohio, but wl,c.l tho wind is 6ot,therty, as it IL
now In 0eorgia, ho knows hawk from
hanttsav.
Mr.. rESpkEToS'A scribe let's out in tho
most innocent manner n secret sorrow which
disturbs his masters gcnt'en,anly bosom,--a
sorrow which canpot le roncoaled by bis i'm
naculnto shirt-front or hidden by any elnbo-
rate elegance Of pose. Says the scribo:
'1le talked as If ho wished Congress Would
adjourn until next winter, groatiy fearing
that some Of thu Democratic members would
commit rasl, acts which tho enemy would
take efoctual advantage Of IN the campaign"
This kind Of tall is not peculiar to Mr. Pm
p1EToN. Ill anxious Democrats pray in Ec-
cret FOR such All adjournment. Never were
they in such n di!c1nsna before. How can
they 20 into S1r. LAarAns Start Chamber and
receive their instructions how to think, talk,
atl1 vote, and at tho same time
give honest expressions Of opinion aul
not commit rnsh acts? Slr. PENn1rToy
n,ay we'll fear thet some Of tho Democratic
members will got OIL the rampage. but ho may
be assured that, whether they get On the ratl~
page or not, they must show their bands.
Tho people Of ths country will not 60 iuto
hi election next fall with a hide.ana- -go-seok
gn,ne going oil about them. They will know
for whom and for what they a.a voting, and
no Star Chamber will dictate to thuul either
candidates or principles With this certainty
III view, Gontlemcn GEonaE cal, resume his
Presidential pilgrimage md continue his de-
portmont without fer TINT any rash nets or
secret conclaycs ut Washington will undo tho
sweet aud gentle mission lle il now making
in the interests Of "a loftier, purer patriot
is,n,"
