Judge HOyeY.
When for the sake Of union, Of which we
surely stand much in need, we declared our
self ready, as far as circumstances would
permit, TO consider the LecomPton afsir |
dead; we did this with the presumption, that
those who had called forth this split in the /
Democracy, and have been unconcerned for
the consequences, and have allowed it TO at
tain its full, frightful magnitude, would, AT
last, after the English Bill mPerfectly COW
cred up the split, cordially offer themselves
for united action. But when instead % that,
the organ, of the Administration Party make
uso of the most outrageous language, insult
ing truth and justice, does the "Evans-
Vile Enquirer" we cannot ses that there are
existing any obligations to prevent Us from
looking upon them as downright opponents
On the whole, We have no objection TO let
ting the Enquirer continue to abuse Judge
Hovey in its infamous manner; this can
only serve to open the eyes of the over con-
hdsnt, and to gain the undecided for
the illuminated candidate. But TO show
or readers that the Enquirer follows
apolicy, Of which only such can openly pro-
pounce themselves in favor without blushing,
or have lost all self-reepect, and made them
selves. the blind, obedient tools of a clique,
powerful it is true, we win elucidate his re
marks which are dictated by concealed NAL

are Democrats in his eyes, and men like

loud enough to be heard in Washington,
