OF Consorsl We had supposed that in re-
publican government, it was tho freeman's
privilege to inquire into the qualifications
and merits of all candidates for Office /; and
we trust that privilege will not be denied in
this case.
We confess we had hoped, that the cleo
tion of the Council of Censors would not be
made party matter-that good men would
be selected, without regard to their party
predictions. But it appears that the Know
Nothings are determined it shall be parti-
zan contest unless all are willing to take
their candidates. Well, then, let us know
who they are, and if they are fit and proper
men, we ask nothing more we don't care a
straw whether they are of this or that party
But we are sorry to see partizan spirit
mantle sted in this election, for We think il
wholly unnecessary and unwise. We have
frequently thought that the old parties exhi-
bited too much of severe and proscriptive
pdrty-spiri candid men have long admitted
and deplored this but we fear that we arc
to see exhibited by this new party, rance
rous bitterness in this respect, that has not
hitherto been caualled.
