not imagine what Gov. Cullom has partcu-

the doughty colonel. 1t is Of course a part
of the programme which the colonel has
adopted to let himself slide out Of the par

governor are as malicious as the recent as.
saults upon Capt. Phillips and other promi-

cut the knot at once, come over to his old

GENL. Buffers acceptance Of the Indepen-
dent nomination by the people of Massa-
chusetts, look at it in what light we may, is
one of the most significant events of our late
politics. His letter of acceptance is plain,
and can be understood by all. He judici-
ously confines himself to State affairs, max
ing a vigorous attack upon the system of
Government which supports in idlcness a
numerous class of richly salared and I'M
necessary officials, while to the poor it
makes taxation contiscation. Upon that
subject four-iiths of the voters are with tile

GEN. JACK KUyKENDALI, .of Vienna, has
FURNISHED up his trusty old sword-the
same that sweltercd in so much rebel gore
during the old times-and VOWS destruction
on the yellow plague. The Hickman scare
has in some mysterious way reached the
valiant old warriors quiet retreat, and he
has resolved himself and his gallant fol-
lowing into quarantine against Cairo.
We advise the general to make haste slowly.
There is no yellow fever in Cairo, or fever
of any other kind. The city was never
healthier. But if the fever should ever
cross to the Illinois shore, the 2ope's bull
against the comet would be quite as effect
ual in its way as the ridiculous acts of that
frightened community to stay the plague.
The action OF Vienna and Metropolis is
simply a vexatious impeachment to trade
and travel, without in any way increasing
the security of their people. II they conc
cluded to have regulations let such regula
tons be tempered with reason.

The Alton Democrat Of Wednesday last
says: The contest in the Eighteenth
Cairo Congressional District Is growing
more animated every day, The Repubii-
cans contine themselves - attacks upon
Aliens record as a Democrat during the
war. They have not yet succeeded in
proving that his votes in congress were in
huenced by improper motives or by any
spirit of dis!oyalty. Allen was one Of those
men who insisted upon fighting the war on
constitutional principles. His judgmcn,
may sometimes have been at fault, but be-
cause he opposed the means employed by
the Republicans is no proof
that he was not heartily in
sympathy with the end they were employed
to secure. He was stickier for consttu-
tional preccdcnts, even ii emergencies de-
manded that they be Sc, aside. It was
more fault of the head than the heart if
he opposed the inevitable, In the present
crisis, when men Of honesty and capacity
are wanted in congress, he is man to be
trusted with perfect and entire confidence.
These facts we believe the people of the
Eighteenth district fully appreciate and
understand"
