that we might do a little crowing. Not
until Saturday did our neighbor comply,
and then he sent the sickest lookest bird

You ce they had been trying (o get the
poor thing to crow for Greeley, all day,
but it was no go. They h- d fluffed this
true American game-cock with crow for a
month or so, and after Tuesday it soured
on his stomach. He was the sicked

was dribbling from his mouth, hid feath

as a reason for so doing. We advise
Liberals to read it carefully. It a
struw, and a vcr bright one, as to the
fate they have tempted for themselves.
"Liberal Republicans of the Tenth
district of Missouri:
"When, in the course of a political
campaign, two distinct political parties
join issue, and become al ie for the
purpose of carrying oo a campaign
jointly, and for the general interests of
the allied powers, aud either one of the
allies prove lalse or recreant to the alli
ance, or seek their own advancement to
the d' triruent of the other, aud it can be
clea.Jy and undeniably proven thatsuoh
is the case, then such alliance is justly at
an eud ; and by the rule cf common law.
which declares that fraud violates all
contracts or agreements, then all pledges
or arrangements entered into previous to
the discovery of such tieachery can be
and by right ought to be declared nu l
and void.
"The aggrieved a'lybas an undoubted
right to remain neutral during tne con
test or join the. ranks of the opposing
liarty. " ' ',
"Liberal?, the fundamental principles
or our alliance nave t en violated ; we
who tendered the olive branch, hav
been t.eated with contempt : and second
we who placed upon their feet tho dis-
tranchiked, have iailen by their actions.
I here are wme rare exception to thi
but they are like angels' visits, few aud
tar between.
"When that old war Democrat. Col
James Mct'arren, fell in tne skirnii.-h of
the preliminary elections in Livingston
county, by reason of bis Union war
record, h:s oppo. ent being enfranchised
about one ear ago. and for the reason
that he, Mcrarran, had favored a bill in
the House during the (war which pro
posed tne formation ot a ly;il Mate
government, in place nt the Llaib Jack
son concern which had fled the State
when the journal of the uroceedings of
the tloue were circulated in the places
of resort, in the city of Clnllicothe, for
the purpose or dete-ttintr .lcF rren. I
realized . that a Liberal Republican had
no busioess in the content in the Tentl
district, but be'ieved it my duty towards
the Liberals not to surrender until the
end.
Not only in the Congressional race
were we snubbed and ignored, but in
every county ia the district, with eotoe
tew exceptions, wo find that those who
were nominated, were those who had
been disfranchised or had no Union war
record as an impediment.
Un reviewing the other districts in
the State, we find e.-nerallv the name

itig county of Macon the Democrats re

It is to be regretted that our people
are so prone to believe evil of their
neighbor?, rather than irood- Let a man
be charged with selling his vote, with de
ceiving his friends, or any "other mean
ness unbecoming a gentleman or a Christ
ian, and soui' how the world jumps at
the bait, rejoices over the fact that
"there's another sinner in the mud," as
old Peter Cartwright said when the
boys tried li keep him behind them in
the woo ls.
In thpse charges against Furnas most
people eem to look at but one side of
the ouestion, viz: that if Col. Furnas
accepted that $3000, he was a very bad
and a very corrupt man. This is true,
but there is another tide of this ques
tion that we desire to call the att. ntion
of thiuking citiz"ns to, and that is the
nature and character of the men who
make a business of gO'ng about our leg
islatures and other public bodies and
tempting men with money, to pell them
selves; holding up before the weak or
the unwary a tempting golden bait, to
ensnare their souls and lead tlieni from
the path of rectitude. What has been
the character of the Temjtter from all
time? We all have suffered for the
weakness of Mother Eve's appetite so
s-iys the good book ; but has any one
but an infidel ever held up the idea that
the Devil was an honorable person, a
noble bing ; that he was in the path of
right or honor himself when he thu de
coyed by false statements and falser theo
ries, the mother of all mankind from
her duty? Was his curse any the lss
severe, hi- guilt considered of no conse-
quence, beexus-e no was tne lemj ter
father than the tempted ? We trow not.
Search sacred or profane history
through and you will Gnd that alway by
Philosophers, by sages, and by prophets.
the t mpter is placed upon a lower plane
than even the tempted, who from feeble
ness of will give way to his allurements.
The meanest of mankind are alway
represented n play and story as the
tempters. Some of the noblest have
figured as the tempted. Twice i the
devil a personage represented to Eng
lish ears as the combined esssnce of
gone, Ira ml and corruption pictured
in the character of the tempter of man
kind. Once be ?eems to have been i ue
cessful, and again with fcorn and con
tumely is ho repulsed with bitter up
braidiug. "Get thee behind me satan,"
tiua riadaod into a tirnrcrK Mini eft f nllv i
this principle recognized that when a
man desires to be particularly severe he
often says, "Why such a man, tuch a
scheme, would tempt the devil," thus
recognizing the old gentleman as the
prince of tempters. It does not lessen
the guilt of th2 tempted. It does not
pal!iate( their offense ; but these facts
show "that from the earliest ages the
world very justly looked upon the
tempter as rather the meaner and more
guilty of the two ; and this is the fact
Our attentiou is culled to this stat of
things, not by the Furnas case alon-f,
but because we hear men daily on our
streets boasting of the inducements they
have held out to their fellow men, of
the iwicrrfnl temptations they have laid
before thm, and chuckling over the
result when they fall a if there were no
shame, no gnilt, on their part as if it
were a good joke a proud fame to try
the very soul of a neighbor in a fiery
furnace of longing aud theu laugh if he
fall.
Day by day men recount these schemes
and seem to count no shame, no wrong.
to their souls, to their fair name, that
they sh"mpt their fellow man ; but
have only .ytirds of scoru, of censuring
for the victiai who faints by the wayside.
Gentlemen, citizens, this is all wrong.
The man that offers a bribe is equally
guihy in the eyes of the law, in the eyes
God, and should be in the eyes of man
with him who unfortunately takes a
bribe, and he who boastinirly tells you
that he was offered so and so money to
ell his vote, or his power, cr his w. rd.
will sell bis own vote, honor or word
whenever the circumstances drniand that
e fbould. and the price it high enough.
Remember this, fellow citizens, and act
-ii t .
upon it, and you win nave maae one
ejrjat, high etep towards REFORM.

. "We believe there is no doubt that
the letter alleged to have been written
by )lr. Wilson to certain Germans, de
nying point-blank that he had ever been
a member of the Know-Nothing party,
was not written by him. It is now in
order, therefore, for numbers of Liberal
Republican editors to wipe away the
tears from their e3'es and forego to
mourn over Wilson as a Liar. Their
grief is a credit to them, but it appears
not 'o be required It would be well to
know if it was the friends of Senator
Wilson wliD invented this device, or if
it was his enemies. It could hardly
have been his friends, one would sup
pose, for nothing could be less wise than
tor them to deny that Mr. Wilon once
was so -hort Fightedly politic, er so sin
cerely mistaken, that he did go fof a
-hrt time into a movement which, if it
bad something of honest apprehension
at the lotfo!u of it, nevertheless had
more of icn'orant bigotry and blindness.
and still more of political sharp practice
and rascality, and as tmu-h, perhaps of
jocosenos. It used to be a huge joke
to astound ' W higs and Democrats on
electiou morning by showing them some
ob-eure person at the head of the poll.
wh le the untemhed or the eminently
respectab e was at the foot. It is a folly
now long dead, and recognized as being
dead and dusty by everj'body, and to re
suscitate the recollection of it hurts no
body and helns nobody to anv materia
exrent. ji it was uir unions ene
mies who invented the letter, the inven
tion would appear to be still more foolish
It is neither to their credit nor ad van
tage to have tried to foist on a man in
his position a very clumsy falsehood."
We call attention to this article be
cause it is from a paper very ably edited.
a paper that advocated the Cincinnati
movement as long as there was a hope
of reform from it, and because we think
that the last two lines contain the whole
gist of such newspaper falsehoods.
