Hon. John B. Stoll.

Cotum now the j*lctlioric J. I>. Stoll, editor of the Ligoiiicr Manner, ami car da the Aortkau Jndiuniun with information as follows: u lH'n»\it mu to say, in reply to your statement of last week, that—although I heartily ami earnestly favored the prosecution -of tho war for thesuppression of the late rebellion and freely expressed myself to thal effect—l never adopted the tenets of the Republican party nor acknowledged fealty to that organi an lien.” Mr. Stoll is a young man of more than ordinary promise- lie is a genial companion, a good public speaker, a gentleman in deportment and is ambitious of political honors. Unless wo are very much deceived, although he does not act with the Republican party, lie is more in sympathy with the Jeffersonian principles that underlie its formation than with the pernicious doctrines of Calhoun npon which the present humbug Democracy is founded. Hut he docs not stop to consider this in his struggle for official honors—lie simply sees the label on the package without examining' whether tlic contents arc genuine or a fraud and because in his infancy his father voted a ticket with the same lnh.l, hi hugs the delusion to his heart w ith the fervor of an enthusiast. If the Democracy are to control the State, at the next election (a catastrophe that we do not fear as probable} w e w ould prefer Mr. Stoll in the position to which ho is paid to be aspiring above any other member of his party whom we have yet heard mentioned. Hut Mr. Stoll cannot secure the nomination so long as the present kudus have chntioi of its conventions. It was not neccssary for him to advertise that lie h id “heartily and earnestly favored the the War for the suppression of the late rebellion,” for they knew that before and hated him for it; it was not wise on lijs part So refer to it as the allusion but increases the venom of their enmity. His subsequent modification- that lie “never adopted the tenets of -the Republican party nor acknowledged fealty t$ that organization,” does not palliate his crime of loyalty to the government iu the eyes of those nun who have the keeping of the Democratic conscience. Mr. Stoll's honest German frankness in avowing his love for the government and denouncing the corruption of his own party leaders k A constant annoyance to the manipulators who control his party's edaveutious; hence the bitterness Vith which they oppose him ' and bonne tho contemptuous remarks audv-ungentleinanly treatment lie receives from such men as Hon. Jason Drown and other representative Democrats of the State.
