tolerance Of the silence of other presses upon the

condemn only the means by which those objects are
sought to be accomplished. Our cotemporary, how-
ever, either under the influence of supernatural light

no fault to find with it, if such be its taste.
But the impression it seeks to make, that the Wig

which way the current is running is riiicu-
lous absurdity, TO say the least oft We have never
yet disguised our opinions upon any subject, when
there the slightest occasion for expression OF
them. Our fault If fault there be- rather lies in the
opposite direction. If Democratic papers were as
frank are, the people would not be so often
humbugGed. We, therefore, trust our neighbor
