THE COURIER on MIR. DUNBAR.

The Courier of yesterday comes out with q
paragraph about Mr.. Dunbar, the democratic
nominee for Congress in the First District, which
contains some very refreshing views, provided
Mr.. Dunbar believes it, and which, if true, de-
molishes the prospects of Mr.. Gayarre and lays
him on the political shelf to all eternity. Ao-
cording to the Courier the prospects of Mr.. Dun
bar are growing brighter and brighter every
day, and indeed SO bright is the vision of ,shs
future which our neighbor has conjured up, that
he seems to have become blinded to the fact that
Mr.. Dunbar has an opponent. While speaking
of the frightening prospects of its favorite, our
neghbor forgets that Mr.. Gayarre is in the
field, for he neglects to specify the disasters
which must have befallen him in the campaign
in order that the great spoil which the Courier
rejoices over should have fallen into the posses
sion of the opposite camp. OF course anything
that the Courier may say about the prospects of
candidates election, is all CANNON, and gotten
up merely for effect If the editor of the Courier
believed half the wild things uttered by himself
in the course of a political campaign, he might
justly be charged with being the most credulous
individual extant.
is running on the Independent ticket against
Mr.. Dunbar, and that in pitting himself against
the regular nominee he has the appreciation of
the editor of that paper. The Courier says it
is not sin against party organization for a
candidate to run against the nominee when
there is no whig candidate We do not know
who has any right to dispute the doctrines of the
Courier, it being the organ of the party. For
our part we do not think of disputing them, for
we rather like them
The Courier's doctrine, that an independent
may run against the nominee of the democracy
,ohen there rs no ,chig IN the .feld is especially
convenient just at this time 1t suits the in
dependent young democracy who do not like to
be led by the noses by an irresponsible and
ignorant rabble, such as compose the democratic
conventions. The doctrine suits
them because they will not submit to be die
tated to by men inferior in intelligence, and by
q set whs are but the froth and scum of loco
focoism, thrown upon the seething surface of
party politics by the bubbling corruption work
ing within.
The doctrine suits young America, for it has
candidate in Mr. Charles Gayarre, who is in
aeo'ea 70 no Clique for his elevation, but owes
MS position and his candidacy to merit only
