Mr.. simraIl on cid Laws.

Mr.. Simrall on cid Laws.
Truth, said Emerson. is the summit OF
u being; My son, You must seek truth,
for IL will not seek you." was the p%aternal
advice of Goethe. Truth crushed to
earth will rise again. the eternal years Of
God are bers." is the sweet poetic language
Of Bryant No matter in what condition
Of life. or in what occupation engaged, the
duty We owe ourselves, our fellows, and
God, require that we should labor for the
PRONUNCIATION Of Truth. We visit the holy
sanctuary OF God, to hear the great truths
Of the Holy Word re realed we form So
cial and political compacts, enact laws and
regulations for our government, that the
ends Of Truth and Justice may be OBJ
TONED.
1t is held by the wisest and most vir.
tuous in all ages and countries, that he who
would mislead the public by wilfully pre-
senting' false issues and doctrines, is an en-
envy to The general welfare Of the people, and
wholly unfit for the sacred ermine of office.
These remarks are suggested by the
course which has been Of late pursued by
the leaders Of the Wing or submission
party--among whom we are sorry to class
our friend, MIR. Simrall. We cannot dis
card the charity which impels us to plead
in his justification, that he is misled by the
counsel and example of others, and that he
is over anxious { sustain a cause which he
sincerely believes is righI. Whether this
gentleman, in making and presenting false
ISSUES before the public, is actuated by the
foregoing motives. or whether he is so
blindly attached to party, that he enter
tains neither respect or faith for the posi-.
lion and declarations OF his opponents, is a
matter about which we shall not now
pause to inquire. Suffice it to say, that he
has made issues-false and u~nfounded-in the
very face Of the most solemn averments Of
the democratic party, that they entertain
no such doctrines I; and that he is conti-
nually repeating and re-asscrting these is.
sues. The people Of this county have not
failed to notice that in every public speech
this gentleman has delived, he has made
dtSanion an issue, and has tried to fasten
tile odious and traitorous design Of dissol.
wing this Union. upon the democracy. A
mar less b!indly devoted to party, would
have at least conscientious scfuples against
pursuing such q course. Among gentle.
men. in public debate. it is at once uncour-
tcous and unfair TO press an issue which is
disclaimed by the opposing party.
Another n Of the false issues which is
being presented with great ostentation by
MIR. Simrall and also by Mr.. Foote, is that
the law Of Congress Of 1880. abelishing the
slave trade in the District OF Columbia, is
aa enact copy Of the law Of Maryland OF
1906. We place in pextaposition the law
of Maryland of 1896, and the law of Con
gross Of 1850, and ask the reader TO say il
there is no difference in these laws:
