a writer under tie name of"Orange," or more
truly bundle Of invcctive CAM, seems 10 be
very much disturbed indeed about the screreisns
Of Greene, who dare 10 insult the present delegate
from Orange and Greene, Cor hmselD so Tar as 10
suggest The propriety OF the people meeting peace
ably together and selecting candidate whose
qualifications and tried fidelity in the Democratic
cause will give The mos, general satisfaction the
rar.y. and in perpcluatEe concord and harmony
in their ranks, al the same time guard against
and reconcile such heal objections as might be
dangerous 10 the Democratic nnion. Without
conference and a general concession BY the party
in convention, in ccn,erng upon candidate,
disastrous consequences might arise. This, how
ever, may be, and ] presume is, The wish OF
"Oranse,' as should naturally conclude that
a man, who would venture TO have published
in a public journal a group Of words importing
nothing, bur, in TACT, striking, like blind mecca
sin in August, al The very palladium OF our
rights, would NOT only be pleased al The disruption
Of his party, (it he has any, but would have
those grea, hulwarks OF liberty trampled under
the feet Of such misinforned aristocras as HIM

envious aspirations and personal dislike 10 The
present incumbent. From whence did This lille
god spring. OF such mental abilities as 10 see

being; though | may have deceived myself
More likely j, is the Serpent, on the lofty mount
with all his powers his saudy speGdor, his charm

and fascinating tongue, spread before our Sa-
riour "All these things will give thee, if thou
wilt fall down and worship me" Get thee hence,
Satan, for il is written" in my political bible, thai
no man. or sci OF men, are entitled 10 exclusive or
separate emoumen,s or privileges IRON The COM

which not being hereditary, neither ought the Of

State should be separate and distinct from the Iu-

be restrained from oppression, by feeling and par
