| How he can possibly defend him
self b. attacking Mr. Bartine orthe
editor of the Appeal, is PAST our
com prehension, although under the
circumstances. it was about ali
that could be done
The Union reproduces an editor
ial from the APPEAL relative to Mr.
Bartine. When Mr.. Bar;ine &C
cepted nomination from the Dol
~ NardeDs four years ago, the AP
PEAL INDUCED in some severe criti-
cisDs of his course. This criticism
was reproduced ana gives US the
opportunity of publicly rendering
our apology to Mr.. Bartine, as
we have done privately.
The fact that Dir. Bar.lne was a
partner of the editor of the Union
caused good many people to per
sonally dislike him. Through this
he was drawn into making grave
political mistake aud listening to
the advice Of the maicontents Of
Ormsby. They used his brains and
oratorial powers in the campaign
and treachcrously destroyed him in
the election. Since that time Mr..
Bartine has realized his mistake
made a public acL nowledgement of
it, and il now as earnest laborer
In the Republican vineyard as any
body.
He has also dissolved with his
old partner and every day realizes
the advantages Of the change. If.
c. n. Harris knew how many times
Ii. f. Barline has defended him he
would realize how base WAS his in
gratitude in ehc present instance.

Our Associate Editor.

The fact that the APPEAL has Sc
cured the services of C.. n. Harms
Esq, Of this city as an associate
| editor during the cam paign, has al
readv had the effect of materially
auCu.snting our subscription list Ia
the city. Mr.. Harris pen pictures
Of the Mugvumps are realistic and
striking and much enjoyed by all
who have read them. The popu-
larity Of MIR. Harris as = writer is
shown from the fact that nearly one
hundred extra copies were sold on
Monday, purchased principally by
the personal admirers of MIR. Harris
and his writings. These articles
although written seven years ago
are read with as much avidity as
the day they first appeared land
perhaps good deal more SOL This
shows that the productions of our
worthy associate editor are not
written for the moment. but are
efforts capable Of resisting the
tooth Of time and hard to bury In
oblivion. To discover, rcsurract
and reproduce these sterling pro.
duc.lons is indeed pleasure to us.
