Europe to the 4th lust. There has been

For he last few months the administra

have iI&concert made desperate efforts TO
alarm ds bemocracy vi the cry that the
"A nie Vilnp party alias the "huow Moth

palpabI k,lacy would be uttersd in the place
OF ruth, if ordinary means could BE- made
eTectuaI in saving the administration from
humiliation. Bat general stampede oe the
conservative portion Of the Democracy has
so frightened the admin, rat.on. that its
presses have r....ered this cry, reckless of
truth as the only possible means ofrecallmg
the Democrats from the councils Of the
"Auerican party"
The American party" is not the Wing

it is so, assert what they snow TO be untrue
or else they are too ignorant to hazard opin-
