mortal combat was passed from DR.. j. w.

ry- To show tho brutality Of the OPP
p osition to the men and measures Of the
Democratic party, in certain quprtsrs,.we
copy the following from the Richmond
Wing. It is most unusual and unoalled
for assault upon the retiring chief nsgfs.
trate Of the commonwealth, and exposes
alike tho Senom and bad breeding offs au-
thor. The friends Of the Wing, in this
country, arc mortified and chagrfnsd at
the indecent exhibition Il has made.
