The Argus Of the % inst. contains no less
than six separate ard distinct paragraphs devoted
10 the service Of Senator Trouer-some small
evidence in the minds Of democrats, al least. that
although in the keen eyes Of The Argus man, he
makes no figure in Congress" and the editor
"rarely ever hears ofhim," ys, he makes sufIi
cicnily large figure to be worth putting down By
The wings.
With regard 10 the six notable articles alluded
TO, we see in them the evidence Of deep seated
maligniiy, and ignorance. For instance read the
following in relation 10 the letter Of castigalion in
nicled upon the Argus, directed to the Democrat
and Published 10 that paper.
Judge Trotler sabscribes himself tl,e friend
and seredatn Of the Editors Of the Democrat. When
