IF rational anil dispassionate man were to Judge
by the statements, assertions, and tales i)lnd IN
the Combination papers, he would suppose that the
managers of them deemed their readers either des-
ti!ute of common sense and information, or super
abounding in passion and prejudice. When no EVIL
dence can be adduced, declaration OF belief IS Of
ered as proof! When facts will not justify posi-
ton, irrelevant circumstances are produced as con-
elusive! When man is to be convicted, speech Is
qnoled which he never delivered! When one OF
high responsibility on their own side of the
