| A man, that dares TO be Free that shrnks from
nothing but from an utterance Of principles thst
he believes falls, and unsound, and who, careless
Of popular applause, puts forth the truth, can
obtain support when the cringing, bank bowed
spirit has passed away with the occasion that de-
manded his degrading service.
| DR.. Lowry was dStoniSted when he saw The
Argus ,ake stand against the destruction Of the
Insurance Companies which he and few Bro.
kers here had resolved on. The Democrat was
thing that dared not Look but in the direction
which he nigh; point, and he supposed the Argu,
was in the same base, degraded condition iis
did not dream that as Col. Benton was incapable
Of retailing dirty, torn, depreciated Illinois bills
from behind bank counter, so also was he in.
capable Of attempting 10 dictate the course Of
the Editor Of Democratic paper. He did not
dream tina: the Democrats of ST. Louis do not
tolerate dctaiion from any one, and, least Of all,
from Banks.
But all OF the talk about independence and
! lreedom--this setting forth that we labor for
something higher and nober and purer than the
gross enoluments OF Office, is, undoubtedly

It's proper however 10 guard the people against
those disguised Wings who have crept in among
Us and would sell our party TO the highest bidder.
They brought over young man to do their wri.
ting for them-it is possible that Col. Birch,
(wllo has the reputation of being as great man.
ager as the Bank President,) has employed this
young nlan--induced him to come among us
10 sow divisions, to create schsms and thus break
down the Democracy. And we call The alen.

that he, alone, has written the attacks in the
Democrat upon the Argus! He has not been
with us but Is months! Aud before he Joined

Central Stale Committee; is it at all imp:o babie
that Col. Birch and Mr. Leonard are, through
this person. al the bottom Of this attempt TO in.
