"he is sinking! poor fellow .-they canno,

pulling him into the boat" Even so,--
Just as he was disappearing for the third
time the rescue came, and in few seconds
the unfortonate was again on deck, to the
great delight Of an intensely excited com

What is the matter with our neighbor of the
Free Press He should be the last person in the
world to throw out any sneers about "superabun.
dant patriotism" We should like to know if the
runour that the immortal % intended 10 start an
other whig paper in this village, had any effect III
damping The ardur of his 'iparlot isnl"| j. Is well
known that for a while The "palriotism" OF the
Free Press rather exceeded that of any other paper
in the state now not one so silent on the subject
nor SO ready to sneer.-SentineL
Most true it is that for while the
patriotism of the Free Press rather excec-
ded that Of any other paper in the state,
and it is equally true, that it still burns in
all its original brightness. We therefore
claim prescriptlve right to be the first
person" to "sueer" at loco focoism, when
we find ensconced behind "superabun
dant" patriotism. We protest against
prostilutng good and holy cause to
such vile purposes, and mos, assuredly VIC
shaIl not hesitate TO expose those who
attempt it. As to the mallgn influence
alluded to, it is sufficient to say that this j;
the first time we have heard the "rumour;
and, considering the source from which i
emanates, the natural presumption is tina
it is untrue. At any rate, we have no
taken the trouble to make an enquiry
But, however this may be, It's undoubt
edly source of consolation to our neigh
Dor to feel perfect security against an
such "damping' contingency for no one
we are quite sure, envcs him either hi
good name or his business, so much as t
desire to divide it with him.
