writers always at hand and always ready who
grind out editorial or communications for that
paper just as circumstances in their opinion re-
quire, and who equal to any task, from
throwing filth at unoffending citizens up to

Among this number is one whose mighty efforts

articles are charged is rather more than the
nominal editor will undertake TO father, who
signs himself ''M. p" This IN. p" few
days since, without any provocation that the
community are aware of, abused gentle
man, a private citizen, in the Coarsest
and most vulgar and offensive mann:r in the
columns of the Democrat, and when the NOM
