The Notorious Cartoon.

j .._.«. i (Ma)utwatu Standard.) i We have been s'uewn a very disi graceful electioneering device, of which the authors, whoever the}' j are, ought to feel heartily ashamed. ! It is a representation of a coffin ! bearing the death's head and crossed bones, the inscription being " James G. Wilson," ami on on one side the words " Let him rip." A more discred.table cartoon— if by that name I the production can be appropriately j designated, we do not remember to i have seen, and k reflects strongly on the individual or party from whom it has emanated. Such tactics are simply abominable, and will not find justification at the hands of even the most rabid opponents of. Mr Wilson, as not even his bitterest personal enemy, if he has one, which we much doubt, could find it in his heart to perpetrate such an outrageous act — dastardly, unfeeling, and almost brutal in its conception, object and iutentiou. All proper thinking people will feel scorn and disgust at such a wanton insult to a gentleman possessed of such kindly instincts and such true gen tleiuauly feeling aa Mr W'i son, and will give him their sympathy without restraint.
