into consideration before they deposit their

During political excitement it IS fire
quenrly the case that each party are in the
habit of making charges against the other,
and particularly against those persons who
are in Office. Great care should be exer-
cised in making distinction between
charges founded on fact, and su5stantiated
bv proof. and those made withouta shadow
of truth or an atiemp- at proof. Charges
made against public men, can be subs'an'
tiated. if true. and of a public character; il
those who make charges fai! to produce ev-
idence of their reliability we may safely
conclude such charges to be false and
made for political effect.
Inuendoes are sometimes made use of to
convey ideas the author Is afraid to plainly
avow: insinnations OF such character
should produce no other effect than pro-
found contempt for their author.
Be not seduced into the support OF In

sensations of any party. Search out facts
