by his progate attempts to corrupt the purity Of the
elections, and his wanton lbels upon the democratic
party, dshonored the State which he represents and

take early measures to counieact the schemes and mach
nations Of the cabinet which are to be carried out by
their tool and instrument, Truman Smith. And we in.

We conscious that in order TO efeat the plans and
schemes OF the cabinet, the execution Of which is con-

expose them. 1t is only necessary to apprze the
people that Truman Smith is engaged in doing the cleo
pioneering business OF the cabinet in order to excite their
Indignation against both the masters and their man. and
to arouse them TO more determined effort to defeat
the plots and ntrgues which have been devised for the
overthrow Of the popular cause. We know Of nothing
better calculated to arouse the Indignation Of honest
