prostitution of female delicacy and
refinement, and an exposure Of female
delicacy TO public gaze, insult and seduc'
ton, amid The drunken orgies and song

the choicest articles in their political
creed; and then came the exhibition OF
filthy animals and grotesque unmean'ng
things, ct only for the play things OF i'd,
lots and Iunatics, though brought forth
BY them as the representations Of the
principles and patriotism ofthe Amer

insult, aud their sheet anchor Of hope.

think we cannot be mistaken in ascri-
bing the authorship of this letter 10 a
source nearer home. We do not believe
there is moro than one man in the State
who can string together such a tumble
of crude expressions and half formed
ideas, as the above paragraph, and IN
deed the whole letter, contains. We
suspect the editor Of the Statesman is
his own correspondent. II not, he las

cause il bears internal evidence, that
the writer, whoever he may be, is tho.
roughly alarmed for The apprehended
results of the ensuing election! The
vulgar abuse-the dastardIy inSinua-

of superior regard for female deIicacy,
paraded in the columns OF one who has

have received these remonltIons of
their impending fate, which are known
10 render men desperate and regardless
of oil considerations Of public or private
decency. They ioresee the coming
storm Of popular Indignation. An out
ragged people are about to close up a long
arrear Of vengeance for the injuries they
have suffered. Grown ~impudent and
bold by impunity, they turn upon those
whom they have robbed and lmpover-
ished, in tho language Of insult and
blackguardism, and reprOach them Ior
daring to act as freemen- lm~peachlng

pronjgate crew, who have been thFowr

alone consist in hypocriiical profession
of "democrOcy," which every action 0
their public lives bellies.
But il was not to animadvCrt p%articu

which,lhe extract above isR fair sample

view more especially, those expressive
