Although Capt Barrett, Ofihe Flag, supported Gsn,
lIsuslon for Governor, and is non trying to "WOTry
down little Of his sOt Of democracy, he never, as
no reo0leot, gave a reason, that he believed him
10 he i.moerat We have admired the straight for
ward manner in which the able Editor u the Flag
marched up TO the support Of man that he believed
tobe as genuine an American alias Know Nothing az
any IN Maryland or Nsw Jersey Had Capt Barrett
thought that Gen Houston was sound, reliable dem
oera,, faithful member Of that " sOuess. RUTHLESS

would have seen him consigned TO the realms Of llaes

Bu, those other editors and papers that stood sponsor
for the " late buTH democracy" OF Gen Houston. and

themselves involved IN dilemma when they see this
honest confession Of one Of their eo-laborcrs Some
OF these same papers still lay claim to the name Of
democrats and would make the dear people believe
II II they eould hut here the Flag, which helps.
ed greatly to elect their candidate, ani tells them
that he believes the democratic party to DO all that is
mean and contemplate in life, aud scatters to the
wind the empty yapOrings abOu, the democracy Of
Gen Houston. The hero OF San Jaeinto was Know
Nothing with the Flag, but Jackson Democrat with
the Inteligencer md kindred sheets These editors
would make chameleon Of the venerable Houston,
who said there was yarableucss shadow ofturn-
ing in him Houston did not know himself well as
these men knew him. Was the gentleman laughing
in his sleeve at them all the WHILE and wondering who
made them so wise! 0fall the papers that support
cd him, we have thought there was displayed Of
fairness in the Flag than in any othcr because VIC be-
lcvcd Capt Barrett was honest politician, and
fen himself to be honest, which was not the case with
many Of his co-aborers. But to the gist Of the mat
ter now that the General is elected by the help oil
the Flag, how will the democracy swallow the fact
that they are considered without soul, principle or
truth, by one whose siren voice charmed them from
allegiance to their old party and old organization
Better stop their ears with wax, than trust the
charmer again, charm he never so wisely. We can
scarcely believe that the Flag is sincere in this article
of his ritual, alter taking slice of Houston dcmocra.
cy. 1t must be hard to " worry down." But, Dem.
