posures of Mr.. Ewing "false in every essen

deliberately 6pose himself to such deep and

as those of the ex-seeretarv, if untrue 2dly,
our faith is not strong in Mr.. Tyler's inpec-
cabiity. Ii the nan who breaks one COM

is difficult to believe him innocent who vio-
lates every a~rticle in the code. NJ. Cormenin
once said of NJ. Theirs, that " he had the con-
tidence OF no one-not even of himself" We
think the same may be safely said of Mr.. Ty-
Ter. No one believes him n honest politician
he don't believe it himself.
