Whig S,anderes.

Whig Slanderers.
The b;egrapher Of Baron Munchauesen says
of that celebrated liar that he was so much in the
habit Of repeating his stories to others, that in
course Of time he came to believe them himself
The same remark may properly be applied to the
Wing orators Of this Slate. They have been SO
much in the habit of yifying the Coalition, dur
ing the last three years, that seems impossible
for them TO do anything else. They cannot give
one single instance Of official incapacily or ter
giversation during the administration of the gov
eminent by the Coalition. They have never pre-
sened the first title of evidence support their
foul and ribald SANDERS Their incorporate
VItuperations are of that general character which
60 to show the state Of their own tempers, rather
than to affect the regulations of those they ma
lign. Yet they continue 10 growl and snarI, like
i'll bred ours, at their political opponents, and
seem to have no higher sense Of their own abili-
ty than to do so.
Col. Bullock when Chairman Of the LATE Wing
Celebration, in this city, took occasion to inter
lard his tawdry speech, with the current slang
and SANDER TO which we have alluded. We
have nothing TO say about that gentleman, expos
ing the redundancy CT his rhetoric and the pover-
ty of his ideas. He is the illegal GUARDIAN of
his own reputation at least; bat we shall take the
liberty Of talking very plainly, about the facts Of
his speech. He denounced the coalition as the
most corrupt and profIgate party that had ever
appeared in Massachusetts. Now, we fling this
falsehood back in the Colones teeth and call
upon him TO sustain his statement by proof We
know that he cannot do SO. We may very per-
tineniy ask him, did any coalition Adjutant Gen.
eral ever sell the brass guns, saddles or other
property of the State, and put the proceeds in
to his own pocket, without rendering any account
for the money he received for them' Win he
pretend that any coalition executive officer was
ever tried and condemned by jury Of his country
men, for conspiring, with burglars and murderers,
to rob and beat the brains out of his fellow citi-
zens? An administration can only be vile through
the villainy Of It's officers We challenge the
wings to produce such instances of rascality and
ruffianism under the Coalition administration,
and, until they can, it best becomes Col. Bulloch
t'S "P"h HiS tbouti anu ut eiicHt.
When the administration of Governor Clifford
was inaugura.ed, the crowd of hungry Office seek
ers round the State House, presented spectacle
of such importunate, indecent greed for public
Plunder, as caused even wing presses to express
their disgust and contempt for them. And so
lost to all the prophecies and amenities Of place
and position, were The wing Legislators OF 1862,
thai they converted the Judiciary committee room
into "rum hole.'
We would be willing that jury oftwelve men
should sit upon the men. measures, and adj
ministratOn Of the colltiOn; and upon the men,
measures, and administration Of the wings since
they reganed the control of Stale affairs 1t
would be an insult to the coalition to compare The
honesty, ability, liberaity, and dignity Of its adj
mlnlstrailon with the acknowledged incapaciiy
and undeniable iurptude Of the wings, who have
obtained their power in the State, through means
which are without parallel for baseness, in the
whole history Of contempoianeous politics.
If the wings hope to enhance their power by
employing the lowest and ioulest falsehoods to-
wards their political opponents, they WILL we
trust, find themselves mistaken. If they expect
to sustain themselves BY base disparagemens of
the "Groton Shopkeeper," and ''Natick Cob
ber," they will find themselves again mistaken.
The coalition awaits the Judgment of history upon
It's motives and acts, with an honest, patriotic as
surOnce that it will receive favorable judgment
and lis leaders have no fear ofposterity condemn
, ing them, because they we're not beholden 10
their ancestry for their consequence. They are
proud 10 be in cimPany with the Roger sher-
mans and Benjamin Franklins of the world and
willingly ccncede to the fools, and knaves,
and cowards' Of society all the mobile bloodofall
the Howards.'
