and specifications one by one, and by tie oath
OF responsible and credible perfons, In aud

COUNCIL AUGUST

We know that you are not 'by constitution
al popularity" bold bad man, and We dis
like to see you used to sustain and advance
the reckless politicians who would subrert
every safeguard of law and liberty and
trample under feet every sentiment of vir-
tue to secure their own advancement.
BY such men you are employed, with or
without pay, to peryert the sense OF right
and Justice in the public mind, and to defend
and sustain men who have been guilty of
stealing the Poll book. Will the public JUS
tify you in this course? Is it light for you,
even as the attorney of Thompson, to hold
this public record in concealmens in your
own hands? Would you be justified in thus
acting in reference to the records Of the
courts in which you practice? Could you
from s'taste or habit" stand up before the
court, with a record Of tina. court in your
pocket, and strive to deprive men of the
rights which they held by virtue of that rec.
ord? Would your ''taste' incline you to
take as your fee portion of the money
known by you to be stolen by your client,
and then contend that he did not steal it?
If your F" tastes and habits' incline you
to such course, we trust that no such
constitutional peculiarity'' may creep into
the the new code which you are assisting to
frame.
"The Register will pursue the course
marked out for Itself" exposing rascality
to public condemnation, despite the assaults
Of the knaves and dastards who writhe under
its lash, or the digniied sneer Of those who
claim the exercise of genslemanly courtesy
while engaged in transactions which bring
the blush Of shame or the glow of indigna-
ton to every cheek, not hardened by indul-
gence in vice aud crime.
