words had hardly been uttered, when he was seized,
thrown upon the ground III the most brutal manner,
and pressed down by his assaiants in such position
as to do him serious injury After some considerable
time he was permitted to get up and go home.
We have arrived at pretty pass, If a man is to be
beaten in streets by ruffans merely because he
dares to declare himself Democrat. We believe the
case in notice will come up before Court. The
saued man knows his assaants, and if he has justice
done him, will make them suffer severely for their
brutality.

1.-THE Popular VOse.o

The Journal Of the 10Th pronounces Mr.. Polk "a
minority President and claims decided majority
for the Whgs-in other words, against probability and
before majorities be truly ascertained in more
than half the States, puts in Roorback claim for the
popular vote" Have the Journal editors so soon
forgotten the ridiculous position occupied by Oliver H.
Roorbach, growing out of his baseless assertions
concerning the popular vote of Indiana do they
covet greater participation in his disgrace than they
already enjoy What is TIE for the propaga-
ton of such silly falsehocds! We regret this folly
for it dsgraces the Press well as themselves.
