DEFINES HIS POSITION.

The request of the committee appointed
by the Central Democratic club, at meet
ing held October IS, in this city, to the
gentleman who is the candidate of the Lib
eral party for Delegate to Congress, to de-
fine his position upon the Force, or Lodge,
bill, has called forth such a direct, frank
and lngen uous reply, so manly and SO I'M
evasive that we are reminded of the letter
from candidate for the presidency Sin
answer to suttin questions proposed by
Mr.. HOSEA BELOW" This letter, too had
postscript, which forces upon US anew
the truth of the old saying "Great minds
run IN the same channel" But some run
after others have gone before, which obser-
walton is our own.
HOSEA, IN his note to the editor, says ''its
gut to be the fashun now to rite to the can
did IS. tina air called candid IS but
don't see nothin' candid about 'em. this
here which I send wus thought satty's
factcry.'
We should like to know if Judge Nor
RELL and the other gentlemen of the com
mittee found the answer to their letter
''sattys factory"
On sartin pints thet rile the land;
There's nothin' thet my natur SO shuns
Ez bein mum or underhand;

Thet blurts right out wut's in his head.

amt goin' to try your patience
BY tellin who done this or thet,
l don't make no insinooations,

Thet is, mean, it seems to me so,
But, eff the public think I'm wrong,
Iwunt deny but wut be so,-
An fact, it don't smell very strong;
My minds tn fair 10 lose its balance
An say witch party hez most sense;
There may be folks o. greater talence
Tibet can't set stiddier on the fence
I'm an eclectic; ez to choosin'
'TwiAt this an thet, I'm plaguy lawth;
leave side thet looks like losin',
But (wile there doubt) 1 stick to both;

A way to git the most profusfon

Though amt one that ary test shuns

You'd ough' to leave a feller free,
An not go knockin' out the wedges
To ketch his fingers in the tree;
Pledges air awful b,eachy cattle
Thet preudent farmers don't turnout
Ez long z the people git their rattle.
Wut is there fer m to grouI about?

Thet's fair an square an parpendicler,
But, eff the Public care fig

An there is sutthin' worth your hearin'

If you git me inside the White House.
Your mead with lie I'll kin O. mint
