Party Fituperatim, Ancients, in

IN view the elucluation OF truth. The fiY-
ORA, for instance, the many headed mon.
ster which, whenever deprived of one
head, was Instantly supplied with two others
ia its place, and which HERCULES, with all
his proves, was unable TO conquer, until
aided by one of the deties, is an apt and
torclble illustration of falsehood and SANDER,
and can be likened to nothing else. Truth
Of itself, however keen aud powerful, is
scarcely ever q match for iatsehood. Like
Hercules, it may strike down head after
head of the monster, but other heads more
venomous than the first, will instantly ap.
pear ia their places. And this will ever
be tho case, until universal intelligence,
like The tabled deity which aided Hercules
in the destruction of his monster, shall come
TO the assistance of truth. Then, and not
till then, will SANDER, that many headed
monster, be banished from our midst
Then, and not till then, will Demagogues,
the bane and pest Of Republics, who thrive
and feast and ialten on vituperation and
lalsehood, be driven into obscurity.-Rai
