We have noticed in some whlg papers

upon General Clark, one of the nominees
on the Democratic ticket. We weIf Me W
the INSCRIPTIONS reck'essness of party
feeling, but we We're not prepared for this
disgusting exhibition of its unsparing ma
lignancy. We had thought, that a long
life, devoted 10 the cause of morals and
religion, would have afforded some exemp.

We had thought, that an old citizen, whose
blameless life, private envy had left IN

His more generous opponents, have conce-

a majority ofhis political opponents regard
him. There arc some persons, who heed
