Our Democratic friend, Pol. J. O. Kurtz,
the Junior editor of the Central Press, con
siders himself again aggrieved brandishes
hia sword—toots the trumpet of the Senior
editor, and pitches in with very warlike
• demonstritions. Consistent George has
made another attempt to distinguish him
self in the capacity of In (Ilitor, and in this
respect we hale not been disappointed in
our expectations. Wu tilpays knew Desirge

to a high position in the scale of intellectual

Consistent George really thinkr hosed/ a
Democrat, and of course lin understands the
principle which Democracy implies Of
course he understands this principle to ap
ply to Black It, publican themiring -the
height of his ambition in political success
Of course to advocate a principle without
remsnerat.on, is not consist. lit with his no
tions of propriety. 01 course he thinks the
Democrats ungrateful in not selecting him
for Regiltter and Recorder. Of course, in
consequence of this defeat he tabors-far the
triumph of the Black Republicans. and AC

the breach - in order to preserve the fame
and reputation of the party Leonidas, and
his band of valiant Spartans, scarcely equal
ed the bravery of Commit , ,it George in this
attempt to save the honor of his politics (1)
We recommend the erection of a moniiment
to commemorate his name to future genera
tions, for this se/isstenlicing devotion to the
cause. We don't suggest the erection of
a ri -mom, ,1* for his love of principles in

knows they have not answered any of the
charges which we brought against them in

every person knows, their zealous efforts
