Here, suppose, is specimen of the spirit
in which the Democrat intends to conduct the

say the editor has learned nothing of the kind
He either knows nothing of Mr.. Washburn's sen

he knows he giving utterance 10 a false

Their case it shows TO what an extreme the editor
is driven. TO sustain the Democratic nominee

Ii we are rightly informed, Mr.. Washburn would
come much nearer agreeing with the editor of

We learn moreover from private sources, that
the Nebrassas are industrious in circulating the
