MLssRs EdiroRs The lil made by your Cur
respondent Fair PAY IN dubb ~ ibe Federal Wings
with the sppsllatOn Of " Dodzer," tells with pom
ted effect We hsve Witnessed on several occasions
the good effects Of TN, eognnmen u causes those
who have been heretofore guIied BY the name fchrd
from our revolutionary sires To 60 hack to rs prin.
eples and discover that they were acting N concert
with masked horde Of lederslisls Of tie Hamilton
and Adams School The moment The honest yeo-
men Of the country, who have been seduced BY
Names discover that :hls is the fact they will uban-
don the connection and return to the democratic
principles Of Jefferson and Madison.
None Of the " Dodgers" feel the truth Of tie
structures made by " FAIR play" more keenly, than
does The Editor Of the Southern Argus. Even the
thick shield of ignorance and stupidity 10 which lis
Uranium is ensconced, does not appear proof against
the force of facts and reason when ieyeed against
masked federalism. The called jade writhes and
winces under the lash, but admits its business BY
tacity acknowledging that the piebald party OF
which he is lunlindry, is obnoxious to the charge
Of" lodging" He does not attempt to comba! the
facts or arguments Of Fair play" but, as an off
SET, draws on his fund of ignorance and vulgarlty
which will last so long as there is a feather on the,
Drake, and probably much onger, as that which is
bred in the bone, is hard to take out Of the iesh.
We do not intend 10 follow the Argus into those re.
glons in which he appears to delight; we leave the
pleasure ofreveng in vulgar epithets with him and
his party, who claim all the dscency and intelligence
in the land under the c1nscentousness that he has
no advantage over any other low and vulgar fellow
in the community as all such are alike familiar with
vugarisms and their use.
The fedora dodgers" can never be at loss for
champions so long as ignorance and vulgarlIy are
the only requisites necessary for their leaders. The
editor of the Argus is the very beau ideal ola cham
pon Tor this self styled deceney party Whilst he is
destitute Of intelligence and self respect he is the We
ry thing to suit the purpose for which he is employ
ed, as he makes plant tool and sewer through
which to vomt forth the filth md SANDER necessary
to attain his party's ends. In one point olvew, this
lodging lumaGry has the advantage Of most Of those
that revolve around the Granny of North Bend; fol
he is not only champion of old ",ip" but profess
es also to fight under the banner ofthe cross! He
may however, have lately lodged his professions ii
that as he has long since ceased 10 practice the pre-
cepts of his lord and Master. We mention this fac
in illustration ofthe elastic qualities ofthe conscience
and code Of morals by which this lodging editor Ii
guided.
We trust the temporal lords and masters of this
editorial puppet may deem it 10 the interest of the
hard cider candidate" to keep him in the chaiI
editorial until November next. After that, "Olhel.
los occLp patton will he gone" What an exalted o.
pinon OF the intelligence Of this community, The fed
era clique that guide this editorial tool must have
when they presume that vugarty and wholesale as
sertions are the only means of securing ireemen's
votes That this is their opinion, is evident, as it is
the only means to which they resort to attain their
ends NINprx.
