selves:
O.5-The editor of the Democrat, whoever he may
be Just at this time, gives us the lie" We ascribe
this not so much to malice as to bad breeding He
evidently has not the slightest idea that the term
" lie" is an offensive one among gentlemen.-Loais-
rifle Journal, JAM g.
The Louisville Journal audaciously says that our
armies are fighting against God" This beats any
thing said by the Tory Federasts during the last
with England Chapmans' Sentinel.
Chapman lies The lie, however, is not original
with him. What's the matter! Is his lying talent
so out by hard that he has steal his lies
ready !-LoHisrile Journal, Jan. 30.
The Journal manifests great good breeding truly.
When cornered, he flies to lies without the slightest
idea that the term lie is an offensive among
gentlemen" His store is ample that he has no
occasion to steal But should he, perchance, be-
come short of original ones, he has but to turn to his
own files to find them I" ready -made. e. Louisville

Here is the originsl paragraph of the Louisville
Journal to which we alluded.
ltTWe have said that this nation is the aggressor.
Let US not be accused of hostility to country, of
moral treason, of giving aid aud comfort to the
my. Let US not be told Of the maxim. :" Our country
right or wrong" This as maxim Of self defence
is is self-ove expanded
into Observation-Disclosures expanded into national
defence. But, in any other sense, repudiate all
such principles infamous In ethics politics. He
who will not speak the truth is liar, and he who
dares not is coward. He who will not or dares not
tell his countrymen the trnth questions of the
most vital public policy is a coward traitor.
And if there is any conduct which constitutes moral
treason, At IS attempt to embark, to encourage
the country in a against God, is the in

The Louisville Democrat keeps this beautiful spec-
men Of wing pieiy and patriotism at the head of one
of its columns that it may be fixed on the public
mind should the Journal hereafter attempt to deny its
authenticity it very likely, under other crcum-
stances, would do. This seems to gall the Journal
not little. and the following is Of the effects
Our neighbor of the Democrat stills keeps our ex-
cellent paragraph relative to the Mexican at the
head of his paper He might spare himself the trou-
BILE. That paragraph was more generally and extern
sively read in the Journal from single publication
of it than it will be in the Democrat If published
from till the death of that paper.-Louisrine

"Our excellent paragraph" This reminds us of
anecdoie, related of old Ethan Allen, of Revolu-
tionary memory. Whilst prisoner in England, Col.
Allen was invited to dine with party of the "upper
crust" who had marvellous curiosity to and
hear this celebrated rebel, whom they, probably, like
the Louisville Journals of that day, thought had been
'tcarriRg against God
Dinner announced, and Ethan discuss
ing the good things of the table, Amongst these,
was a small plate of Olires Ethan, mistaking them
for picked grapes, began to roll and over,
in his mouth the more he aouted it, the more bitter

Mr.. Wick spoke for an hour, to the delight of the
wing members and some of his own party, but IN a
