No statesman Of his dag, perhaps, has ever
been treated 10 more open-mou:hcd dcnuncia-
ton, within so short u period of time, as that
which has been poured ont hy a certain class
newspaper editors, during the last day or two,
against the present Governor Of Virginia. 4
private letter Ct his. to nobody knows who. is
placed nobody knows how, in the hands Of n
number Of politicians and newspaper reporters;
and the howl OF dcnunciation which immc,li-
a;ciy follows its publication. creates nj once n
chorus in which we find the scrccchiD. notes
OF >raE;y Administration organs blending,
harnoniousiy if not muscally, and hy no
means unuaturaliy, with deep-inouthcd tones
of the blood hounds Of the Opposition.
\ few specimens will exhibit the tone and
temper, ami, in 10 small degree, the intent Of
this ca;.and.dog concert. First, hear the 0p,
