tits truly surprising to see even in

Examine and draw up all news
And fit it to their present use"
The Editor Of the National Intelligent
Ger Of Wednesday, after reporting the
result Of the late election for Fairfax.
very gravelv, and with as much boldness
as truth itself could nave inspired, adds
Fairfax last year gave Federal ma
iori,y!" We will not say, that this Is
i" base fabrication," but we feel con-
s,raiaed to say, IL is nos true. Wau,sh
and Hunter, the democrats who are e.
lec,ed this year, were elrcted the year
before, and served in the last A. semblv
. Ofthis fact it is scarcely to be supposed
the Editor Of the Inteiligencsr was ig
norant. The success Of Democracy in
an adjoining county could hardly have
escaped the attention Of those whose bu
.ness it is 70 trace the course OF popular
opinion, and whose greatest pleasure
consists in trumpeting the triumph OF
their own principles. If he pleads ig.
norance--he stands convicted of an as
saranct, in thus boldly asserting that to
be fact, which he did not know to be
true, that goes far to impeach his mo-
desty.
1t is much to be feared. that unless
the government paps shall be mere
coutious at least in its misstatemeDts FOR
the future, it will subject itself and
its "copyists" to the reproachful cha
racter which the grave author above
quoted, gives the journals of his own
early times.
