sumen,s actually urged against Dr.. Averelt :
Wei, We will not complain Of them;- but they
are certainly very different in efec. from those OF
he gallant and great Wing Generals in Mexico,
who always treat a brave enemy with the more
marked consideration.
What we complain of is, that The enemy fights

assassin's dagger thrust into an enemy's back
Fer instance, We dislike 10 see Wings transform
Ing Themselves into pure Democrats, 10 de!ude The
very Democracy into a support OF their favorile.

We also dislike to hear from Mr.. Somebody
thai uthe Doctor said he did not want a Wing 10
vote for him." because it is slylJ handed about 10
induce honest and friendly Wings TO vote against
him; and, furthermore, il i, a plain violation OF
the decalogue that commands, Thou shalt not
bear false witness agaipstthy neighbor."
There are other violations OF this command
soma in relation 10 his professional conduct,
others in relation 10 his personal character, which
is indeed above reproach, and no doubt many OF
these evi! deeds are YET in the dark, their authors
loving darkness rather than light.

Legislature 10 begin the canvass, aud already We

But enough; some may now say iii ii had no,
been Tor this abusive piece we would have voted

perly appreciate a Wing vote given 10 him upon
aiu!s knowledge Of his political principles, he
never will s!oop 10 beFay a Wing into his SUD-
port BY false pre,ences. And as for The tribe Of
darkness, il is hardly probable they have many
votes, and iithey have, hey may truly say to all
that "he does not want saeA as they have"

Counter wherever found.
