HERE'S HOW TWO HEARTS BEAT
AS ONE.

AS ONE.
We regret TO see the majority of the
Republican editors of the State printing
very unkind things Of our neighbor,
the versatile young editor OF the Intel
ligeueer. Some of these attacks upon
him are exceedingly severe; and If they
are truthful and deserved, We are sorry.
We have known Mr.. HART q long
time, even when he was ably editing
what his Radical enemies are pleased
to term "that vile RebelFree- Trade
sheet, the Baltimore Gazette" and
didn't he, with his sharp pen, make the
Radical brethren howl then even worse
than he is doing now! Ever since
then we have loved him as brother;
and we shall continue to stand by him.
Some great writer has referred, in glow
ing terms, to the surprising love which
existed between JONATHAN and DAVID,
between DAMON and PYTHIAs, be-
tween SCYI.LA and CHARYBDAs! This
describes our love for our editorial
brother. When he is kicked, We feel
pain! When pins are stuck into him,
we invOluntarily vince. When his
editorial brethren have him down in
the mire and are pummeling him nigh
unto death, we suffer the pangs Of the
Under dog in the fight. That is the
dreadful situation to-day; therefore,
we kick back.
Sometime ago the Clarksburg Tele-
gram, the home organ of Congressman
GOFF,. printed q most savage attack
upon our neighbOr, and the Republican
papers of the State are very generally
reproducing it in addition to their own
unkind remarks. Now, all this is not
done solely for the good of the "grand
old party" there is an Interior motive
which don't appear on the surface. Let
us see if we can figure out what it is.
Until recently, Mr.. A. w. CAMPBELL
edited the Intelligencer. 1t is within
the memory of those of US who got be-
hind the scenes that this man organ
lied literary bureau in the winter of
lSS0.Sl, for the purpose of writing him.
self into notoriety and a seat in GAR
FIELDS Cabinet. He Is an adapt at
self-advertising. He played the clown
at Chicago for notoriety, and made
mouths at CeNKLING that his name
might be linked with that great man,
and that he might shine with the bor-
rowed lustre imported by the associa-
tomas dead mackerel shines in the
light of the sun.
Now, we have it on good authority
that these bitter attacks upon Mr.. HART
are sweet morsels to ARCHES soul.
His vanity is fed; his egotism is tickled.
For, observe you: many of these al
tacks are coupled with praises of CAMP
BELL. Is it not known that, before
starting to the Northwest, CAMPBELL
left orders with person in o position
to do so, to examine all the country ex-
changes with care and clip and forward
to HIM all the unkind things said of
HART by them, as well as the puffs
that are given hjD' Those exchanges
are faithfully examined on their
arrival, and the clippings are care
fully made and forwarded. Mr..
HART cannot have failed to
observe that many of his exchanges
have been fingered and clipped, before
they come into his hands. Especially
was that the case last Saturday and
Sunday, when most Of the country ex-
changes arrived. This batch of papers
contained an unusual grist of personal
filings, many of which never met Mr..
HAET'S eye, but all of which were
greedily devoured by CAMPBELL away
off in the far West.
Put this-and that together-CAMP-
BELLS consuming vanity will be i'm
mensely gratified when the demand
comes from his party claquers in West
Virginia to return and take charge of
the Organ and send HART adrift;
his gone-to-seed egotism will be swollen
until a turkey gObbler would appear, in
comparison with him, as tame as
turtle dove.
A man dOn't need to wear magnify
ing glasses to see through this scheme
to supplant HART's authority in the
Intelligencer, and as a leader of the Re-
publican party.
1t is our nature to stand by the under
dog in fight. We hope our Republic
can brethren won't blame US; for really
