The rujj;ed oíd philosopher Naaby lias the nack of i xpressing himself in a coocise and U-Hing way which is usnally much more powerful than any iinished editorial could possible be. He takes ofif the present condition ol' affaire in this capital way: "I don't like this kind ov nssistaiice to win vietrys. The kind uv help I want is t-hat uv Republikina uv principie, who kiek over the Republikin party not for the sake of offis, but beeos uv lts corrupshen, and leave us to run the offlses wich they help us to. I want reel good men, uv the Georjre Willymn Curtía Kind, wich bleeves in civil service reform, and to git it to support John Kelly and slch. I want men uv tbat stripe, wliicli, In order to lay out favoutism in offls, helps Tammany Dimocrisy into rooi I want pme reformen, like tliem in Pennsvlraay, wich splits up the Kepublikin paity and dont ask notliin' in return. I want sich men ez them in Massychoosits wich to purify things, makes Ben Butler Ouvnor. In short, wat I want is to hev Kepublikins vote Dlmicratic ticket, or not vote at all and at the same time stay in the Kepublikin camp öich men scheeve the yictiy tor us, but don't claim any share in the plunder. Tlien I deerly lur to hev the prohibishuuists, wich, in order to prevent the sale uv licker, costs with delightful regularity a half a vote for the s'loon interest. 1 ain't shure but wat a proliibishunist is uv more yoose to us than a s'loon man, but bein allus a moral man he has more weight. Troo, he oan't inllooence the patriots wich rek w i re to be kept full two months afore eleckshun to carry the Democratie ticket, and six weeks after glorifying over the success, but al i them we get anyhow. The proliibishunist wich remains troo to his convickshuns and votes hi8 ticket lirmly is thu most comfortable ally the Democnsy hez. Wlile he helps the s'loon keeper liy not VOtlng tlie Kepublikin ticket, jnst as much as we do, he don't come brawlin around our caucusses insistin upou being made county treasurer. He's a delkeful help to us. But I don's kiiow ez we kin help it. The fact is the Republikin party is made up uv a great mauy moral idees, and it ís a weaknls uv the man wich has jitt one moral idea to think that tliut onu moral idee is the only moral idee wuth considern, and he has a moral enmity to every other man's moral idee. Democrisy ig much simpler and inore easely understood. Democrisy nieans postsffls, pure and simple, and t allua att.icks all the classes wich are after postólos. New pupers are blossoming out all around this winter. The Piuckney Dispatch is the name of the latest arrival and it comes to us very bright anü newsy. It is piïntcd miich better than the ordinary weekly. A ncw paper is also to be estabHshed In Stockbricigc by by Mr. Freeman, the recent editor or the Dexter Leader.
