>u.prise and might add with regtet, that not
w.,lstandipg the recent clearly and strongly Fl
press sentiment of the grea. body Of the Demo
sracy sf this State in favor Of Gen Jones, an
, the signal rebuke which bis "netral'' opponent
have Revived everywhere, more particularly
manifested IN this City by the demonstration o
rejoicing at his triumphant re election, in "hc'
almos, The entire cemmunity participated, thu
condemning the unpsincipled course Of ,h'
"Herald'' and ito unscruS,s!ous opposition, not
wi,hstanding all this, the Ed,.sr Of the Herald
still continues to heap obloquy sed defamation
and to pour out torrents Of abuse G.son senato
jones and his friends because th<ss are M
frends,) and am led to believe that tie e.
quent aud utter disappointments Of The Edi >os
and his total discontinue and entire overthrow
| ia the effort to destroy and annhilate Senator
Jones, have set him to raving and put HIM COM
peey and totally beside himself, and like "too
much learning" in other men have "made him
mad," else, how can we account Tor the peril
nsci,y with which, he viper like, still continues
to "gnaw at his file" or how determine the
greater wonder of man, like him, who is steep
ed in moral turpitude 10 the very lips, discours-
ing upon sirture and honesty and integrity and
patriotism.
| These remarks have been induced by noticing
in the "Herald" of Wednesday last, fresh
TRADE, against Senator Jones, and some Of his
frisnds, who are aspilants for Federal appoint
re exhausts his Whole vocabulary Of abuse in
| denounciny them, in a tone and manner to "maks
even politicians trelnble," and winds up his dec.
| lamatory article, by instrnetins Gen. Dodge how
to act IN the premises, aye, not only instruc,ng
| him, but commanding him to do thus and so,
because. forsooth, he, the Editor, has right TO
command, for did he not vote twice TO make him
| Senator, and is not Gen. Dodge bound to obey {
| Cnsnswerable argument!! UnquestioRabiy
| he is, and forthwith with all the self compla-
cency imaginable, he concludes his lecture upon
| morality and honesty &c. 80.
And now let US enquire for a moment, who 10
this man, this Editor, who PROCESSES TO represent
in his own person, all the morality and all the
decency, and all the honesty, and all the integ
rity, and all the other virtues combined, and
who shudde,s with holy horror, and lifts up his
hands trembling with amazemcnt and indignation
at the bare possibility Of men being appointed
to office, whom he styles incompetent or venai ?
| Who is this man ask' Is it one Dennis A.
Mahony, the same man, who undertook and
endeayored to defraud and swindle, WIN. Il
Merritt on, Of the State Printing, after being
present at the sale. and when he kneu that
Merritt had paid two thousand dollars for it!
| Is this the man who escaped to perpetrate this
| fraud, by trying to persuade Gov. Hampstead to
give the appointment to him, Mahony, instead
of to Merritt Is this the man who also went
to Gen J. G. Shields and others and requested
their interference in his behalf for the sama ap.
/ pointment9 Is this the man who when accused
| of this ,reacherous and scoundrelly attempt to
dafraud and swindls, indignsntty denied the
charge, in the columns of his paper, this same
"Eerad," and thus added falsshood to treachery
and baseness, and is the man who had The terms
"lsr and scoundrel' virtually branded, in indeli
BILE and inefaccabe characters, upon his shame
| less brow, by the published testimony Of Gov
Hampstead Gen. Shields and others.
| Yes, this is the man who now undertakes to
deliver homiles upon, morality, and honesty,
and integrity, and patriotism IN this community,
| and thus endavor to drown the voice Of truth,
and hide his own infamy, in an eternal din and
perpetual c!amor about virtue and right This
| is the man who has become Editor among
US, who sets up for wisdom, who abuses, cons
tennis, defames and atte mpts to degrade all who
differ from, or oppose him, who sets up for patr
otism, who is the only man in the community
according TO his own showing, who knows and
does wha, is right, and Consequently the only one
whose voice should be heard. Out upon such
a.rongance, such knavish folly. Out upon such
contemplate, such infamous presumption. Out
| upon such black hearted wretch who manfests
his knavery and scoundresm upon any and
| every accession where thrift may follow fawn
lpg or rascality. Out upon an Editor who never
fails to stab those who differ with him or oppose
his arrogant pretenlions, with the envenomed
dagger OF caSuIuny anu SIIuPefdtio". "a u'ai
and an Editor, who is thus unfai,hful to his
trust 10 his position, to the community in which
| he lives, 10 his country and to every principle
of right and justice, and every sense of honor
| and common honesty, should be shown up dixie
a snake in bottle where his Shiny consortions,
and venomous fangs, might be witnessed by every
one, and himself rendered harmless by the ex'
posure OF his nature and poisonous weapons of
warfare Such man should be held up to the
scorn and execraton Of his fellow man in the
strongest possible language. which outraged and
indgnent humanity can use Upon such glib
bet every good citizen should do all in his power
