Last week we published a communlca-
ton, signed 4" A native Mccklenburger,
which drew upon US the mighty vengeance
Of the /" imported Editor Of the Jefersoni-

Hercules, nadc terrific onslaught upon

ever behold a sheet or white linen hand

CRlzcns Of this District, than the organ.
Of filth, sul.ari,y and SANDER, opened their

they arc upprchensiyc Of the result--ihcy
dread the rcyulsion Of public sentiment,
that soon viii cngulph them forever; and
use every instrument that they imagine

Of their party. We believe that the ma.
loritv Of the late Van Buren, party IN this
District, arc honest and trucly friends to
their country their political course
they we're guided by what they believed
TO be tho best interests Of the Country ;
but the late revolution effected in the po-
lltical affairs Of our country, certainly will
cause them calmly to reflect. In 1886,
Mr.. Van Buren, received nn overwhelming
majority OF the SURFACES Of the people IN
1910, this vast majority was reversed and
Gen. Harrison elevated almost hy accla.
nation there was something wrong which
induced such a change in popular feeling
this every one viii admit who has paid
attention to political affairs for the last four
years. As before remarked, We believe
that the majority of the late Van Buren,
party in this District, arc honest and true
" friends to their country but we do not
believe that they will be led by few de-
signing dcmagoglcs, and palpable labrlca.
tons, to leave sight Of truth justice and
political integrity. When men are honest
and upright, imposition and deception can
not long exist without censure and rebukc'
Last week we noticed list of positive
and absolute misrepresentation published
in the JeferSonidn, relative to the political
acts and opinions Of Col. Barringer, Is
the condition Of the party so desperate that
a resort to such lliberal and unfair means
is necessary to ensure the success of their
