iIYCU RGUS,
Dear PlC.:

 Dear PIC.:
 There is something so sn' premcly ludicrous in the letters oi of the Dispatch correspondents, that 1 can not refrain from brict comment and broad smile. For some time h,ve watched these .'JeffersOnian Democratic" scrib- blers who profess immntability of principles, jump into the bosom of the old Republican herd of the Clayton and CottcrsOn specie and take their places, made odOriter- ous precursors, the negro, in the embrace of the carpet bag and seal awag gentry as represented by John Williams and F. M. Thomp- son. I have read page after page of their feeble explanation of this inconsistency; l have witnessed with amusement how clnmsily they dodge the question, and with what transparent prrtensc they seek 10 conceal their ultimate purpose Too thin! All ride different hOb- bies. all ''cuss" Democracy i'll a different key, all center on one proposition - Greenbaceers for official spoils. Touching it is to observe the refined sensibility Ot these little whipsters, when with the sang .froid of n street Arab, they pronouce Democratic gentle men .'liars." thieves "sSunh>" and "curs,' but recoil in holy ter TOT when themcelves called "cranks" or "knaves." X delicate sentiment has the refined crow! Conscripted. Net at alI-bnt very profOnnd-and the premedi- tated impudence, with which they tackle and decide great questions is only surpassed by the utter ig- norancc whice they display in the decisions,
 As an average specinan of this claSS-no better, no worSc-is "Ob- server" in the last issue of the Dispatch. With triumphant whoop, he pOnnces on the Prescott bar, and dcnominates them Little i2nd class lawyers" when it is more than probable that each mem Der of that body has forgotten more than the pusilanimous little cuss ever knew.
 Observe the refined Billingsbate "Observer' applies: "cnrs" for Democrats, "skunks" for cores ponden,-, ''wllelps' for gentlemen; and yet he is evidently atrugglinr to convey the impression upon the reader that he is a refined, digni fled, wise some pumpkins" Yer. fly, he is "somc pumpkins" Note the utter ignorance of the political situation, which he displays in say ing that the Democratic party will be dead in two years" Why, Ob- servor, my boy,-I credit the writer with inexperienced youth, as palll- ation of his ignorant and foolish letter-don't you know that the Democratic party is gaining re- newed indorscmcnt from the peO. pie, and at every election grows stronger. increasing her vote of 4,t42,O3J of 1880, To 4,9ll,Ol1 in 1881? Are you not aware that the Greenback part, is the dying p"rty, and where, in 1880, they pOllcd 306,SG7 votes, in 1884 they only boiled l33, ,S25, and where they used to have fifteen representatives in Congress, they now have only one, and he was elected through Dem ocratic influence, as was the only officer you can claim in Nevada county!
 Now, you straddlc the old hobby of played.out dcmagogues in rant ing about the reduction of official salaries. Don't you remember that Norwood wore that thread bare, and when he entered the leg. islative halls, instead of reducing saleries, he increased the county judges salary from aiOO to S600, to Obliye a Greenback county judge ! Bah '! Observer, the people see through your pnny tricks. Wait ill your ideas are fresher, and your sell not so "fresh." before you ad- vise the people how to legislat", or try again to cajOle the class you call the ''sunbnrnt sons of toil" into your ingenious (? traps; for, r,believr me, rash youth, that class whi ch you so patronize and presume to teach. are as much wiser than you as was Thomas Jefferson wiser than your Jeffersonian model, F. NJ. Thompson.
 Mr. Editor, I have extended this letter beyond my intention, but :of snch presumption as have men. toned is the filling of this curious Greenback tapestry. The people, ordinarily, see through it, though some may be mislcd. II is only necessary to show it lroperly 10 them, and waste no time in reason. ing with the weavers, 'twould be casting pearl before swine, since they desire to not hear.
