| True, it brought Wilcox and Mcclure

we can stand all that, and more, too,
when we have such assurances of un-
swerving support for the Administration.
Wearc willing to be snapped at every

stand firm. Sparks intimatcs rather curt

we propose to do. DR.. McGuire takes
back the charge as to meddling in the

about the two column article The
article waS long perhaps too long. He
wants no more Moral Obliquity' arti-
eles-no more two column articles-in
defense of the Administration. lie
thinks twenty lines would have been
better. Perhaps so but people ought
to be allowed to Judge for themselves of
the length of the articles they write.
Some people, for instance, in writing the
life of Brother Mcclure, would have
done it in twenty lines-a very concise
writer might have used but tcn--but his
late biographer made it quite rs long as
our Objectionable article, and we patient

sy obituaries. DR.. Mcclure thinks our
heart is in the right place, Very likely.

If it is not, perhaps some grosser organ
has dislodged it for the time being, and
we trust that it will soon right itself. At
any rate, we are satisfied that lurch or

place. a word to Granville. Granville
thinks we have "gone back" on the pco-
pie. There is Il bare possibility that
Gran, is laboring under a delusion. In

is not Il good Judge of what the people

the Gazette deserving the people, but let

eyes, as we believe he will, to the press
ing necessity of hearty and vigorous
support Of Democratic principles, rather
than useless squabble over mon. Now,
then, let us have peace, We are willing
to be peer, and allow Sparks, Granville

would cast their vote for the nominee,
so that he could go to the United States

party, but OF the whole people; Mr.
Stewart, of Tensas, also advised his Re
publican friends to support Judge Spot
