we find that the undignilied, ungenerous, aud
unmanly course which the Richmond En-
qurer is pursuing towards Mr.. Riyes, begins
TO be pretty well understood by the people of
this country, and 10 meet It's just rebnke.
Never since the formation Of this Govern
ment, has there been more malignant or
systematic persecution OF any individual,
than that against Mr.. Rives. And why I
Because he refused To bend his neck for the
collar Of tho Benton and Kendall faction, and
aid in the destruction Of the State institutions,
BY fyrclng upon the people the Sub ireasury,
a sysism thrice solemnly rebuked. The
head and front OF his offending is, that
he would rot lend himself 10 support mea-
sures. which he knew could not fail 10 be
detrimental 10 the best interests Of the great
body Of the American people. la other
words, he preferred the sacrifice OF party
10 the sacrifice If country; and for that
act which has challenged the admiration Of
every good man in the nation, he has been
tainted, reviIrd, and hunted down, by every
ofTice-holder AMI by-authoriiy print in the
pay Of the administration.
We are glad to find that political darkness
is fast dispelling, and glorious light about TO
dawn on the people-that patriotism. inde-
pendence, and integrity are TO triumph over
political turpilude, thicanery, and pecula,ion
upon the public purse.
