Horace refers tu the positions held tiy Cups. Edmonds, in Michigan, through the partiality of the republican party, and thinks it awful and terrible that he should forsake the 1 party after all. He forgets that some may be actuated und impelled by principle. i The meeting o>n Saturday last was not large Ln numbers, but it accomplished the work for which it was called. The members o! the committee selected ars nil sterling men, and will no ibitibt cause the wind to exude from Horace in greater quantity than It did the other day. The latter (Mr. Yeoman) had found republicans who preferred him to a wounded union soldier for auditor of this county.—Windy Horace. Now, Horace, whom did you prefer two years ago to a “wounded union soldier," und what instigated that preference, if anything? Or, did you* talk one way and act another? Du tell! Ono of the 1 Beau” family explodes fn the Union of yesterday over th e meeting held on last Saturday for the purpose of taking the initiatory steps iter the prosecution of the political canvass this summer. The periodical •Lceumulalion of wind in the abdomen of Horace has found vent. The explosion is terrible. It causes, how*«er, no serious inconvenience to anyone but the great mustioulator of the world-t e iowned gas-generatingvege-UaJjLe. Seriously, Horace is not happy. Poor Horace! On Saturday last memories ciowded thick and fast about his windy soul. He remembered that two short years ago he was ivrth those, in hand if not in heart, who met on this occasion. The tears cleansed his bleary eyes, and his flowing coal black moustache made a convenient and beautiful receptacle for rhe exhuditions oi his- nostrils. He <as present without invitation in the role of JkMwutaib. reporter. It was au exhibition of wind and cheek combined—impertinence in its broadest sense—but no attention was paid to his Intrusion, hij presence was ignored* und he sat. alone in his glory?
