167 PLATT’S GUSHERS. Jupox never loses an opportunity to say mean things about Platt and Miller, This week it prints a savage attack on Cameron and Quay. When a beaten man is ready to, if you please, acknowledge himself wrong and i into his wounds? Not that the stalwarts will, te on that account. ‘It 1s because they Know tey won't thar Jooceand others of its kind make their attacks. — Washington corre spondent Philadelphia Inquirer. THE JUDGE criticises regardless of persons. It proposes to be fair, but it will talk as it pleases. Mr, Platt, Mr. Miller, Mr, Clarkson, or any member of its editorial council for that matter, must take its displeasure if that is deserved. It will kick itself out of the window whenever that acrobatic movement is necessary to its honesty, its consistency, or its good health. It hasn't liked Platt's career as chief engineer of Republican defeat, and it regrets that Clarkson and he have so much to do with the management of this canvass. They will doubtless do the best they can; but we shall win not because they lead, but in spite of their leadership. “And there is too much whining in their behalf. It gives too much wind to the large bladder of their self-sufficiency. The pres- ident didn’t blubber when they kicked him, and they are old enough to take as well as to give. Indeed they are amiable enough over their sufferings. Their heads are sufficiently weet developed to carry fourteen hats apiece. 1—ALWAYS READY.

And Mr. Lease —did they forget him in the haste of their departure? DISPATCH from Loon lake says the president picked blueberries with a tall blonde from Troy, and had his fortune told by a young miss in a yellow-calico gown, As we have said, Mr. Harrison is a truly sensible man always and everywhere. WHAT WOULD WE DO? [7 1S NOT FAIR to ask or expect the miners of Tennessee to compete with convict labor. It is an insult to labor and justice everywhere to invite an honest man to put himself shoulder to shoulder with a criminal, the alternative being starvation. If Mr. Calvin S. Brice, one of the contractors of this convict labor, won't see this situation as it is he ought to be asked out of the seat in the United States senate which he occupies largely as a convict because it does not belong to him, It is well enough for Governor Buchanan to call the wrongs of the Tennessee miners “nonsense,” and it is lamentable that the miners should break the law; but what would Governor Buchan- an and Calvin S. Brice do if they were in those miners’ places? We are all of us looking our sweetest and holding up our white hands for the law, as we all should; aaa Ne as te!
