Ity in your county, when in the Legislature last
year, interposed every obstacle he cOuid in the way
of the passage OF Resolutions claiming your par, of
the proceeds of the Public Lands save voting d
ectly against the passage at the last ballot (See
resolutions in another column)
When the Reso lutions up the loco Goco
leaders moved foolish amendmenls--to adjourn,
&c. calling The yeas and nays, with view 10 de-
feat their passage In all this manmuv ering Moody
Rich voted with them The Wings, however, de
featcd all Their schemes, and the question came
up upon their final passage, when Mr. Rich DODG

Let tho frcomen of Essex recolIcc, when they go

the slightest proof. Nay in spite of the additional
evidence that one Breymon orCoumbus has con-
Gessed to several persons that he forged the paper
TO such pitiabe condition is this Editor reduced
in the view OF the Public. We spoke Of the mat
ter in last in suc, indignant terms as such base
ness appeared TO to deserve. We had not for
gotten the infamous and ridiculous fasehood about
the flag at Lyndon, the British flag as he would
have it, used by American Wings at celebrate n
our emancipation from British bondage. The fool
ish laseIood respecting Mr.. Upham's remaining
near week at DanvilIe electioneering had not
long passed by. We knew and felt that the pub
lie sentiment in this quarter required that such reck
less and unprincipled defiance Of truth, and honor,
and decency, in tho conductor of n public journal
should be exposed in plain and fearless terms
We arc happy TO find that we have not erred in
our estimate ofthe moral ntment of this commu-
nifty. We are not yet degraded so low that min

IMMUNITY. There is but one opinion so far we
hear among our Wing friends on this subject and

lost all regard to the deccncies which are to be OBJ
served even in Political warfare
