We have gone fully into this matter, in order to

TO throw back upon the Wings The charge OF M

The beautiful doctrine, that We should consider
the "beam that is in our own eye" before we seek TO
pull the mote from our brothers, is one OF Deiiy's
special iniunclions 10 man. IL is part OIL mat
heavenly sermon on the mount, whose every lne
is volume OF instruction lis obligations resi-
alike on all men, under all circumstances.
Whilst this truth will be admiued, 1t is 10 be
regretted that some men, although prc-emlnenl IN
their own estimation, conduct themselves as II
lhey were not informed OF the existence OF this
holy precept, or were, under an especial dispen.
saon permitted 10 preach II, rather than required
10 obey it.
These thoughts have been suggested by the re-
nembrance that the Wing newspapers have,
from time TO time, with spendhrift Literally,
scattered heir taunts on The Democratic parry as
The destructive party in the country. They have
denounced il for its tendencies against social or
der. and for the adaptation of its principles Tor
breaking up the long established foundations OF
law and Of society.
Without intending, Messrs. Editors, TO enquire
into the Justice of these charges against parry

The Petersburg Intellsencer will see from the

Kearney, which the Wing papers are greediy re-

in our opinion, capital h0ar for The voracious
Wings.
But whatever the Inieligencer may do, the
