We aro far from charging our opponent
with all being unpatriotic, or not lover of

are aought to he aupported by their leadeta

diametrically at war with the geniua of our

pouring iu from every nook aud gln, we
think that tho exhibition of tho apirit now
moving upon the maaaea, together wilh the

blanch many a cheek, now blushing with the

Tha Y.r Hklaar.
Just oa wo aro going to press we are com
pcllcd to "hold u" in order to make the
following painful announcement.
Wo havo just been a apectator, 'together
with about two hundred other witiusoa, of
a truly painful operation, wliieh lasted a full
hour and a half, painful only to tho subject
operated upon, nnd a number of Ida friends,
who were compelled to witnena his distor
tion of countenance, which too plainly
evinced the mental agony ho suHercd during
tho operation. It i hardly necessary to in
form our city renders thut wo alludo to the
dreadful occurrence w hich took pluco in our
Court House an yesterday afternoon, where
Gun. Lane bad hia political integument most
beautifully pealed from every particle of
his body, from the crown of tho head
lo tho aolo of tho foot, by lho gentleman
wliieh wo proudly float at our mast-head as
our candidate for Coiigrcfa. lieforo we saw
tho two candidates measure arms we only
sol down iov. Guinea' majority at 2000, but
if he has been as successful in ovrry other
part of tho Territory as ho has been here,
no sliall certainly havo to add on another
COO.
The Weather.
The "ohlest inhabitant," wo daro sny, haa
never seen just sueh a spring as we havo had
up to thia date. In met we hardly know
whether to cull it a spring, or a continuation
of n mild winter, moderated down so ns to
bring vegetation rapidly, forward. Tho
weather has, howover, boon too cold for any
thing to succeed well except grass nnd tho
smaller grains, which must ho enormous on
tho prairies. We have had "storm after
storm, mist after mist," with an occasional
clear day. Tho mud has not yet dried a
particle, and wo don't think it will till uftor
election. This damp weather wo look upon
iu rnthof Providontiul, just at this warm
timo in polities, nnd will materially add to
tho prospects of Gov. Gninea, ns it will serve
to cool oil' tho angry ardor of demagogues,
(many of whom wo notice tiro now dread
fully chopfallen,) ami will nlso very much
diminish tho number of thoso "demons," or
evil spirits, who "walk through dry places,
seeKing to "enter somo ucmagoguo or
"cultus tillicuin."

Wo received by tho last week's southern
mail tho l'mptia Gazette, tho margin of
which contained the following :
" If you can't send in a paper In "ex" pleuae
lid bill slid pnier. Editom generally have the
curtesy lu "ex" willi cotdinporurie.'1
Wo aupposo you certainly do not mean
that Kditor ought to oxchango wilh all
their "eotemporaries" ? If wo are correctly
posted, wo happened to havo somo several
thousand "eotemporaries," on tho day we
started our paper. Wo exercised tho privi

ttcit jMjitrn, in return for tho six numbers
wo liavo had tho "curtesy" to aend him. If
your erAYM had used us a little better, we
should In disposed to trust you, nnd would
uow at your request cheerfully send you the
A mills aa au "ex," although wo havo no
need of tha "Gazette," unlesa wo could
swap it otr for tho "Statesman," and the
"clique" would acknowledge your paper as
their "organ" in,ud 0f the other. In that
ease the arrangement would suit remarkably
well, aa your sheet is aa much like the States-

Hut w o don't really think that you prefixed

that you havo been so long aceiistomnl to

looks awkward without it. Tho forco of

you no doubt, cunningly nvoided setting

of your aversion to a ;jms, sign. If you
