this clamor Of the factionists is the bilious
outpouring of disappointed office seekers; the
blind rage Of handful Of consequential aud
worthless political gamblers who, having the
control OF newspaper, fancy they must be
provided with profitable sinccures, and are
ready to do anything desperate to create an
impression that the people are opposed TO the
administration that will not submit to their de-
mands, nor yield TO their menaces AS TO
"buying of" the opposition Of such creatures,
we look on the idea as preposterous, and We
should be ashamed of the weakness Of an ad-
mnistralion that could resort TO it. Let The
foul things take their own course. Treat
them with contempt Expose them thorough.

viper in a circle Of fire, they will sting them
selves to death, and expire Of their own ven

decision Of Judge Mclean, in the Cincinnati
Slave case.
Judge Mclean, (of the Supreme Court Of
the United States,) in giving his decision at
considerable length, affirmed the entire con-

Of him to the soul buyers There was great
deal Of rejoicing at Covington over the ter
mination Of the trial, and jubilee was also
held in the bottomless pit at the same time.
The decision of Judge Mclean makes us

selves from this blood stained and man-steal.

In this connexion we quite agree with the

where they can find a government and Con

The "Charleston Mercury" does not share
the general repugnance there seems to be en-

people who, of all others that ever lived, were
most distinguished for their reverence for tn,
rights of sepulture. The custom therefor,
