about as infamous a lie as any black repub-
lican scoundrel has yet attempted to circu-
late in this District. Judge Law, as is well
known, was most emphatic in his unwill-
ingness to see Hovey come out as a candi-
date against the regular nominee, and in
fluenced by firm conviction of the impolicy
and evil, both as to Hoyey himself and to
the party, Of such course, he used his ut
most endeavors to prevent such result, by
trying to dissuade Hovey from his insane
and selfruinating determination. Judge
Law has ever been 4 most unfiinching and
consistent democrat and to even irsinuate
that he ever wavered in his politicalintegri-
" so far as to countenancc, much less en-
courage, boiling renegade in his traitcrous
attempts to heal up the wounds of personal
chagrin, by a course of palpable and self
condemning political apOstacy, is in plain
contradiction not only to the known char
acter of Judge Law, but to the facts of the
case itself.-ERqutrer
The above is the characteristic style Of
the LecomptOn organ in this county, with
whom no man with any self-respect will
raise question of veracity. But let Judge
Law, or any responsible friend, repeat the
assertion that "Judge Law was most en-
phatic in his unwillingneSs TO see Judge
Hovey come out as a candidate against the
regular nominee" and that she used his
utmost endeavors to prevent such result.

testimony of twenty citizens, whose char
acter will weigh as much in any moral and
political scale-except that used byLeeomp-
tonism-as that of Judge Law; as elevated
and as much esteemed as it has been. We
don't impeach Judge Laws democracy, but
we declare there was not a more openly
avowed anti-Lecomptonite in the District
not one who has in more unequivocal,
severe, and bitter terms denounced the Kan
sas policy OF Buchanan-condemned the
votes and course of Judge Niblack, and ap-
plauded the doctrines and noble stand of
Judge Douglas than Judge Law for six
months previous to his visit TO the East in
July last. -
The pretence OF consistency and honesty
of views made by man who is supporting
Niblack and applauding Buchanan, in one
breath, and denouncing LecomptonSm in
another, is so gross and palpable. shame as
to be an insul. to the public. Ignorance and
credulity of the lowest and weakest degree
dent and monstrous Can any one, unless
he has become hardened by the basest polit-
zeal tergiverSatons, stand up before the voters
of the First Congressional District and ad-
vOcate the reelection of Niblack, whose
votes he has pronounced damnable aud an
outrage upon the popular rights, and who,
instead ofrepenting of the treason, is pledged
to pursue it? Can he profess to approve, be-
fore the people, james Buchanan, the author
of the doctrines and the instigator of the
measures which he has condemned as alarm
ing violations Of popular freedom and Dem
ocratic principles? Judge Law has said
within ten days that he was still as decided
" anti-Lccompton rs ever. If So, does Inc
