Some of the Radical papers are attempting
to heal the wounds received by Mr. Blaine at
the bands of Mr.. Tucker 10 the House the
other day by intiuatiug that Mr. Tucker was
led into an expression of obnoxious sentiments
BY Blaine for purpose. The attempt is "tco
thin" to use vuIgar>m, and won't do. Blaine
got terribly worsted, and deservedly so. His
desire to appear IN all the prominent debates
has lead him twice into water 100 deep tor
him, and he has consequently been ssauped
each time. Lamar pitched him overheard head
long; and he barely escaped with his lite 10 his
encounter with Tucker. People are tired OF
Discrimination and dissent, and though Mr..
fuckers views may not always accord with
some of his own party, the masses love and
houor his honesty, manliness ADD truthtulness.
If his oppcuents would follow his example 10
this respect, it would be better for them and
better for the country.
