NJ In reply to the article in the Democrat
of the Dist, that Gov. McNutt did give init
nation of his present course during the can
vass prior 10 the late election, we have but
little to say besides, that our views are yet
the same, notwithstanding the proef that print
has endeavored TO adduce, and with us is a
large number of the democratic party, as lndi-
Gated by their utter condemnation OF his pres
emf course,-which the editor knows Bat
that sheet is so under the influence of CabIl,
foot at Washington city-to follow in the foot
steps of renal and prohgate clique,-and to
receive its light from that dusky orb the Globe
that any thing but truth may be expected to
be found in its columns. w e pity the wretch
who can never soar above falsehood, and is
doomed to follow menial-lke as the hound, his
imperious master, who may give him kick
should he lag behind,-and at best can only
expect the tail and a small portion Of the blood
for being in full chorus with the pack.
Corruption is the order Of the day at Wash
ington-and as well, might any man expect to
partake of poison ITSELF without feeling IFS e.
feet as to drink there without pollution. Itsv
ry atmosphere seems to contaminate and woe
be to the victim that sits beneath the deadly
upas oyershadowing the very outskirts Of the
capitol with ITS outrageous and seductive TO
iiage. Yet this is that shade under which the
editor of the Democrat is wont to bask and
extend his weary limbs beneath its cooling in
fuences! This Is that fountain of which he is
wont to drink, and to draw his inspiration when
he wishes to shed deceptive light to mislead
the peope-mingling falsehood as a principle
ingredient by the way-side. 1t is to such sour
ces that he looks for the fulness of all his joy
and all his hope when he ceases to think and
act for himself-content, ike the worm upon
the dunghill to reflect the "Light ofDARKNEss"
which surrounds him. Alas that there should
be any so lost to manly vlrtue-so mental and
dependant as to hold themselves in readiness
to do the budding Of another however scribe
willing slaves of an imperjous master--and
tools and catspaws in his mercenary hands.
LocoFoCO CONSOLATION FOR THE POOR
MAN 1T has been recently declared on the
floor Of the United States Senate, by Mr. Buch
snan a Van Buren, leader, that labor is altoge-
ther too high, and that it is one ofthe objects
and intentions of Mr. Van Buren's admlnistra-
ton to Reduce Ire price of labor! And do
they not act on this principle! Do they not
furnish proof Of the truth of this declaratlon!--
DO not the farmers already feel it in the redu-
ced prices for their produce! Do not The day
laborers already feel it in the reduced wages Of
their hands But the price of produce and
labor is still to be reduced! This is declared
TO be the policy of Van Buren's administration!
VIII the Farmers still support party whose
acts and avowed objects are, to reduce the price
of their produce and to PROSTATE their inter-
ests! WIN the POOR MAN who is depen-
dant npon his daily labor for hIs daily bread,
still employ his hands in voting for and upho-
ding party whose avowed objects is to reduce
the price of his labor, TO destroy his interests,
and to throw him into complete pauperism
Let him pause and reflect Let him look at
times as they were, and tim s as they are and
Join the increasing company Of those who are
striving to PROSTATE Van Buren's corrupt, ex-
perimentng and despotic administration, and
to elevate on its ruins tried patriot and hon
