authority are Hey eatfledLo hoid those places!
And this, too, when all the members are
under oath to purify its bodyl And that,
too, according TO the fundamental law of
the land We care not where the shaft
may take eifect-it is aimed at the guilty,
and not at TIE just and upright; the latter
will not take it to themselves. The ques-
ton resolves itself into a nut-Shell-are
there not about four members holding pla-
ces on the floor Of the House, in rioiatiOn
Of lac Some tendeT-footed" demo-
Gratis will say is dRrigM-and the mon
grcl" brood of politicians---fusiOnists-will
swear that it is all right Birds of
feather flock together" and as a public
journalist, we hold that we would be a re-
creant to the party to which VIC belong, did
we not unmask SOME of the peoples repre-
sentatives, and draw some pictures of po-
litcal deception, corruption, and apostocy.
1t is due the people that they should know
who their public servants really are.
We think it will not require reyy much
research to establish the above statements,
and the work is in process of completion.
" Let justice be done, though the Heavens
fall"
For the present, VIC bid ddicu to the
House, and enter the Council-a body that
bespeaks language more in conformity
with public expectation. Outside of the
lchig members, fusionism, as we believe,
has made but smalI inroads In coniunc-
tion, as we are led to believe, with four re.
liable democrats, we there find presiding
over that body, our venerable friend
JUDGE CArLIN-the Patriarch of the demo-
cratic party in the territory-holding on to
the faith of his fathers-the precepts, prac-
ticcs, and principles of the founders of the
governments true as the needle to the
polc-his eye fixed upon the future destiny
Of his country, and all his energies direct
ed for the promotion of her future glory,
and the prolongation of its democratic in
stitutions. May the All Wise Being grant
him many days yet to dwell amongst us, as
o beacon-light-a land mark to the erring
in politics-for many Of their ways are
doubtful and uncertain.
We can say much, in the same spirit, for
a number Of the members of the Council
and House of Representatives; bnt were
VIC to say half as much, POLITICALLY as
VIC know, Of some other honorable gentle
men in either branch, the portrait would
be crowded with "kinky hair" aud OZARK
lanterns" notwithstanding they might de-
fend, by asserting how long they had been
democrats, and voted for Gen. jackson,
President Polk, &C., &c To oil such chat
tering jays, we would remind them, that
at one time JUDAs, according TO Holy
Writ, was devout follower of our LORD
JESUS Christ, and prated and eanted long
and loud about his devotion to the person
of our Saviour, yet after all his loud pro-
fessions, betrayed his Lord and Master
And the same Holy Book informs us, that
SATAN, at one time, was an Angel in Heav-
ell, and for his treason, the Lord banished
him into everlasting torments; and yet,
some of these long-faced canting political
hypocritcs-of the Judas school, tell us
they are good democrats Look at the
above example. Oil ye deceivers, in ref
erence to Gods Holy Book-we speak of
it with reverence and rcspect-and may
those croakers Of duplicity be admonished
by their examples Such subterfuges, du-
plicity, and political knavery are beyond
all patience, and longer forbearance ceases
tq be a virtue.
