A EirSt-Rate Notice,

notice. /! is in the great Sub;erranean' $
best vein:
! IL beg 10 assure you Of my utter and
unmi'iga,ed contempt for lha, most mer-
cenary aud ahjeci Of all vacillaiing and
renegade factions, lately known as
'Sof's.' II is to be deeply deplored. for
The present honor and future hopes of the
Republic, thai faction so profiga,o in
motive, ahd so frequent ald shameless ia
is perhcious changes Of principle. should,
under any pretence whatever, receiy e
the support, or even counlenance, Of a
single man, possessed Of self respect
They had, however, sank 10 the lowest
depth Of public contempt. when, Selling
on The last remaining dodge which prom
ised TO temporarily bolster up their to.
