DJSGRA CEFUL.

The intination BY some Of The Re-
publican papers that the Theatre Ut ST.
Paul, which was burned short time
ago, was the work 6f Democrats. there.
BY endeayoring % fasten 4 crime Of the
highest magnitu de- upon the Democratic
party, Is one Of the most base acts To
which they have resorted, during the
present canvass sc which We have heard.
Some Of the Republican stump speakers
have made use Of the malicious charge
thinking TO find some. fools enough 10
credit it--but they are mistaken in the
effect such base fabrications will have
IN this vicinity. i will only react upon
their own heads. for the people have in
telligence enough 70 see that more but
4 scoundrel Or ! fool, would ever credit
such a. insinuation, much less give il
circulation. Stl
Baker was one who made Us of this,
il endeayoring to prejudice the minds
Of the people against the Democratic
party but we would advise him, before
attempting to fasten such crimes upon
Others. to- try more effectuaily than he
did here to clear his own skirts from, 4
crime of which he il charged not much
less revolving, 70 IN honorable mind
than the one he Is endeayo:ing 70 Is,
upon the Democratic party.
