The flesh Of our neighbor ouivers /
whenever We lay bare the utter aud no
torious rottenness Of the managers OF
the party to which it belongs. la an
article of the 18th, under the caption
OF numbering the body and the SOUL
It bewails our exposure of the villainous
practice Of the Republican managers
to galvanize and keep alive, one of the
most rotten parties that ever endan-
gered the liberties of this nation.-
Rome lost its republican Liberties
through the venality and corruption Of
Just such party, which sought place,
power, and spoils, 10y every means, and
at every sacrifice Of principle ami hon

and prosperity Of the Republic. just

Stxtcs. and that class of dissolution ont
OF which nothing would arise except a
despotlsm tcntold more tyranical than
any in Europe. Every occasion is
seized upon by this vcnal party, to cx-
cite luminosity, hatred of the South, Of
the Union, and of all law, no matter

This how ling over tie dead body of
thief was for lao other pnIr">e than
party capital. 1t is an evidence OF The
hasest motives that can actuate a poll
tician to gain influence. 1t deserves
the scorn and condemnation Of the
world. Where was the Gazette when
its own party in this city was bru,alIy
beating the Germans under the Mar
shalship Of Center. Why did not the
Gazette howl when poor Lerchen was
mangled by the police hounds Sc, upon
him by the Republicans Of this city
Out upon such vile and groveling meth
DDS to secure votes practiced by latter
day Republicans. 1t is enough to
cause the best patriot TO despair OF the
liberties Of his country.
In st. Louis, Louisville, Baltimore,
and other cities, the Germans are shot
down by scores, by this Know Nothing
Republican party, and the gazette is
meek rs lamb, and has no word Of
condemnation. The disgracciul riots
oil over the country that have tcr,nina-
ted in the death OF SO many Gern.ans
were gotten up by this party, To de-
prive the Germans OF the right of sutf-
rage 1t was all right; not a word of
condemnation escaped our ncighbor,
for it was then Know Nothing Re
publican. We do not approve of the
shameful riot in Chicago, but we des-
pise and spit upon the low, contempt
bic, hellish meanness, that will make it
the occasion Of such proceedings as
took place over the body Of Jail
bird like Charles Ss:1ert. None but
. Republican party would do it, and
none but Republican journals would
defend it.
