Politically mo man dare cay be is not
republican, nor can say without being
guilty of direct falshood, that he ever
was Know Nothing. lie voted for Fill

publican would have done, had he been
raised side by side with that gentleman,
end felt bound to him by every tie Of
old friendship, old com ami onship and
high personsl regard. = Gazette.
We give the Gazette credit for the
most unblushing cilrontcrv in asserting
that Mr. Mills is or cvcr..was a Ecpuh
!icSn. Not a journal in the District,
having any DEcrN, regard for truth
has dared assert that he was any,hinr
elise but a Know Nothing, until the X.
N. Republicans conferred upon HIM
the nomination for Judge Even the
Gazette says he voted for Fillmore.
How much Of a Republican must ::
man be, who, in the late exciting elec-
ton, while protesting to be Republ

Is last Fall and bclabored Fremon,
most numerically, calling Inn See

to be thrust down the throats of Ger
mans, ASH good enough Republican for
them, even if he did vote the knew

But the Ga-eite has serious misgn
ings upon the subject Of Mr.. Mills. aud

Committees are the terror OF the Re.
publican party. In Washington, as
'i'swhsrs, such a prying into the char

and therefore the advice to its resders
to bury the past in the pool Of oblivion |
and take Republicans for what thew
Prcfs's to Be, instead of for what they
e's. 1t won't do neighbor to 'pe,tiiog
