What sEOck that last expression must have
been TO the heart Of the man who can preach
20 strongly against corrupt habit'-one who
claims such unspol,ed purity-who declares
that ''wih this ct-OTrraton on the part oi

nothing Of t,rO years, ami that the practice
may be repeated without materially affecting
| the ''permanency Of empire" and even with
out introducing ''despotIan in this land of the
frees"
But his reasoning for favoring rotation Is
because he believes il.at the patronage Of the
government. whether State or Federal, shall be
fairly distributed among the people," with ex-
cepilOns, however. in tavo: of all the '.poor
widows and their daughters" in the country,
proviie ALWAYS that none Of them are Of INV

TO support" sOsays tins sweet tempered, fair
young man who. no doubt before ne dies, will

ing about the "fair distribution OF public pa
lrOnage among the people" IS the preaching
OF a demagogue, IN which he pretends to favor
what he knows can never take place. To
show how deceptive this declaration 10. let him
produce the list Of recommendations which lac
signed in that meeting in Washington, and
let him saw whom he is favorable Tor mis-
sicns 10 foreign courts, TO be reached&by steam
ers rather than by "sun-fights," anil then as

have had, Of course, according 10 the assertion
OF this '.fair distributor" they should not have
another share; including. also. his hist, show
ing lair prospect Tor any of our people TO
get share oil the government pap" Let
him procure ..nOtary clerk" in order fur
Their to ascertain how much more Of this
''pap" some OF those he recommended have
enjoyed than | have, whom he Tried 10 have
removed, and whom he falsely and foolishly
iniimaies has grown so fat upon TINS diet, and
the people will then Judge Of his sincerity, and
how completely this mans mind is actually
beclouded with malice towards me. which he
seems disposed shall reflect on a ,cidO,r
whose dependence u is not his policy To
sympathise with, notwithstanding his hypo-
critical cant about the poor widows. Indeed,
80 completely has malice and hatred posses
SION OF his heart and mind, that he viii not
allow his hypocrisy fair play. Asa proof OF
this, read the fir.t paragraph in the third col
umn Of his card. In il, be declares he would
make exceptions OF the ''pOOr widow and her
daughter" to his heretofore unbending rule OF
Ioiation. and hardly had he uttered the words
Of kindness before he concludes with the fol-
lowing sentence: "When .nr. Key asked
this office Of MIR. Pierce for the benefit Of the
! widow. could he in justice ask it fos longer
time than 10 was intended the husband should
have held il. (he) say no, and SO will every
candid man." This language isGssstainlv

his great principle, in the administration oil

paragraph does not cut the ihrL at OF the pro-
mise made in the beginning of IL. then must
