4 Furious Assailart.

OF the opposition journals 2: Their pigmy at
lacks upon the American party, and their
voctleratisns Of patriotism, with such other
political tiourishes as they alone know to con-
]uge up, .hen our attention was attracted by
an article published in that sweet specimen OF
lpeotocoi<ln, The Iberyilie Gazette, in which
the following paragraph met our astoulshed
gaze
"When their antiquarian researches. into
the musty files Of newspapers. fail IL furnish

We, nartvr-!ike, waded through the Niagara

yes, Us. the Sugar Planter. ~as the cause ol
i this furious outpour!ng.
We must confess We We're 50 badly used
up by it that We were compelled to call for

Now i there IS anything IL the world We
admire, it IS unbs14hirg and unparalleled IN

Of even a bad cause when done with spirit
and dignity. But We must confess ctr JlsI-

very hard upon Us Toy charging Mr.. BvcH>N-

Of May last by J. 6. Jo>Es, 0: the Keystone
state, that Mr., BUCHANAN had anything to do
with those resolutions ao4 had no: even seen
them u~uI they appeared III print.
We'll. esteemed contemporary, what has Mr. .
Jo:rs denying the pupor'ed rarca;age OF
those resolutions to do with Mr.. BrcuATA>'s
aboIitiomsm? Do you know what authority
Mr.. J. had for denying them7 Did he salts
fy his hearers that his uaqaest3n25is authority
was undeniablc, or did he satisfy them by
giving his Hnqusstaonabis authority AIr, j.
denying 1t does not make 1t 50, and where so ]
serious 4 charge is made asains. any one the
proof should be forthcoming from the proper

posted IN !~ocotoco dup'icity--ttatthe Democra-
cy were as pare AID holy in their Yre.entions
as the angels i'll Paradise, and that out O. their
mouths came nothing but good, and Of course
that all their charges and allegations we're
true and to be relied upon, but that
game has been played BY them 50 long, that
all their hard-sw caring and k~navcrY will
avail them nothing in the coming canvass,
and SO they fce away, perfectly Indifferent to
what they do or say.
Now, Mr.. Gazette We Will give you another
mt to crack in favor of Mr.. ~BdcHA.>r,s abo-
