Go in on your muscle. - ' “If he (McEwen) will place one of his ears to the ground he will hear the rumbling of Democratic curses,” etc.—Ringster in the Republican. We have been listening intently, but everything was drowned by the howling and growling of the ring exasperated by the foolishness of the radical organ. The people are begin whig io awake to the fact that aside from Doin'‘‘tie ' they can. make their purchases at the (heap Store, of Sharpe, (Iran <£• Co.. Jroni'2> to 50 />< /• bent. A's-,- than at any ol a r nigre in this part of the State, A Iso that Dbincsti.es are sold there at actual wholesale prices. They have to rema'n but a few days yet. anJ all will do well to purchase, early. ♦ -<«)-» The bean-masticating wind gene rator of the Republican, with his outside corps of assistants, blow considerably this ween, because we think proper to insist that neither Democrats nor Nationals will go to that source for counsel and advice. They well know a repetition of events of two years ago will consign them to utter defeat. Let ’em blow!

Ringster—See hero, Bitters, you’re playing the very devil with our prospects. Instead of conciliating Na tionals, you are driving them into fiercer opposition, and strengthening taeir cause. Bitters—W-w-well, that’s the way we did in Rochester. Ringster (excitedly)—R och e s ter, b—i • . You’re in Rensselaer, now.— You've got to stop your foolishness.— Hereafter tackle McEwen, and not the parties. Bitters (abject sdly)—B-b-b-but I pledged myself ir. the paper not to reply to McEwen’s “hog-wash ” Ringst ?r “Hog-wash!" Blast your overgrown, lubberly picture! The ring’ll take the light off your hands, and do it for you. Hereafter consult us. You lack good judgment, and have not sufficient discretion tomanage these matters properly. Bitters - W-w-well, you may do it. But let me im-itn im-plore you not to get me into such another fix as you did with the General’s war record!— Why 111 was obliged to make a square back down. On the street, Republicans met me, some sninggered and denounced me us a soft, lubberly old fool, while others give m*> a round damning. And Democrats—they were happy. Ringster—Well, we’ll try and help you out. We’ll try and create distrust of McEwen by his party—advertise for a Democratic organ—ridicule Me., etc. Of course, we’ll have to lie like the very devil, but he can put up with it as he seems to have the hide of a a rhinoceros. Itistheoniv course left us to pursin'. You have spoiled every other chance. And in this week’s Republican the ring commenced work in accordance with the programme mapped out In the foregoing. The following is the only reference made to us by the gallant Maceyer: —“Uncle Jimmy” has been giving us taffy all winter, which we have accepted in silence. Now we return it seasoned with wormwood.” “How weapplesswim!” TheMadeyer is evidently pleased with the labors of his assistants. There is but one drawback and that Is the encroachment upon time and the requirement of physical exercise in run-

i g backand forth to have mam - s ript rend and explained, which s riugii on a man inordinately overgrown and lazy. But the ring demand, and he must grin and bear it.
