The Rev. Mr.. sIicer and Col. sevie

The Rev. Mr.. Slicer and Col. SEWER.
Whether Mr.. Slicer has or has not destroyed
the character of Col. Sewer, we do not know. COL
Sewer may be vulnerable to attack We know
that he is an able lawyer and most eloquent
political speaker, and as such delight to hear
him Whether he is or is not vulnerable in other
particulars, we regret that he has been attacked.
We regret it on his own account, as even the
necessity Of indicating ones character is an I'M
pleasant duty; and we regret il because, when
prioate character is assaulted in public, no man
can foretell the hour in which his own NAV he
assailed, nor to what extent. Perhaps even Mr.
Slicer may thus be thrown Ola the defensive. We
know At least resplendantly brilliant and eloquent
man Of his party the public exposition Of aohose past
character Dould cause him 10 be rejected from the
home Of erery honest man, and maize the penitentay7
his only safe and Jfttiag aSflam. But God forbid
that ours should be the task Of working out bi.
disgrace and ruin. Others, pure and above all
reproach, may if they think well Of it, essay the
task. However, though conscious Of no sins Of
very great deformity, as this world goes we had
rather see Mr.. Sicer than ourselves, in the posi-
ton Of Col. Sewers antagonist.
