obseured, and al means are JUSTIFIED By

Of minor importance. So The Editor Of

down in the same way, we suppose, as a
riew ef things through eisetioneering
speefGcles"-for Mr. LOring would hardly
venture to make such a charge upon his
own responsibility. Nought but political
fanaticism or raging dclirium could insti.
gate such a charge; and il should be met
with the whitening contempt OF all friends
