and especially candidates, sonlsiiuies associate
with him. do not mean to say that there
would be any positive Improperly in recorn,-
zing him but he shields himself from the chiv-
airy Of h.gh-lonod men as the crocodile pro-
teots her eggs b. covering himself with mud
and slime. lie renders such notice Of him
unnecessary BY destroying bis character for
truth andycraeiiy. In general, there is pre-
sumption in favor Of the truth Of all men, but
the editor Of the Sentinel has contrived to
create a different presumption so far as he is
concerned. Every thing IN the Vicksburg SEN
/ tinel is prima facie libel and requires the
confederation Of proofto make any impression.
So true is this, that, II he were 10 publish, IN
his mornings paper that particular quarter
/ &c Vrksburg was on Ore, and the whole town
would be destroyed in an hour unless the cit.

alarm, he would be compelled 10 issue an an
nunymous handful, on which appeared neither

tenton Of the public III wei, known that pre-
vious TO his late visit TO Ireland,he was in the
constant habit Of abusing Mr.. OConnell as a
corrupt abohuonst and traitor. A late English
periodical proves beyond doub', that there is

disrepuie and contempt upon the whole popu-

partiz7ns Of the court aud the advocates OF

Mr. Theirs proves 10 bis history Of that won

crime Of The Revolution was produced by these /
who were constantly urging the /
people to blood and crime, in order to horrly I

In the failure ri the revolution much IS to be /
attributed to this cause.
It's notorious, that before be abandoned the 4
Wing party, the editor Of the Sentinel was in
The frequent habit Of abusing our republican in /
shtutions. lf I had file Of his paper pub
lshed at that time, ! could give such extracts
as would astunsh this community beyond /
measure. We know that there rs a tribe Of
foreign tourists. who write ialsehoods about
this county, for the sole purpose Of rendering
our institutions odious abroad and Of pander-
ing to foreign aristocracy, who dread the in
huef &c ofour example upon the oppressed Of
the old world. They desire not only to see
our'insttutions destroyed. but 10 prevent their |
being properly appreciated and understood. Is
it improbable, our enemies should send mcen- /
diaries among US 20 undermine and destroy |
our institutions, and di grace our example 10
