trace out the pedigree of the Vice Pres
ident elect, as there has been some hints
thrown ont, of rather dark coloring. with re-
gard TO ne genealogical root Of the tree

E From the above, We conclude that
whilst our neighbor enjoys the same enqui-
ring frame Of mind, the truth of the quaint
saying that 1.-The fools are no. all deadl"
will be abundan;ly verified. To a sensible
democrat, it would be sufficient REPUTATION
to this bald lie repeated and endorsed by the
JEFF, that Hannibal Hamlin, up to the des
truction OF the Missouri Compromise line,
was q Democrat of the strictest seet-rep-
resented that party in the L. 5. Senate,
and was one Of its Maine pillars. Ills not
necessary for US TO hunt up his genealogy,
therefore, to convince one who is evidently
q willing like our neighbor. He seems to
have a particular spite against the negro
race, from some cause. Probably all the
malignant, feeling he mani'ests towards the
sable race. arises from the fact that whilst
spending those "many happy moments upon
the soil of Old Virginia" in practicing the
F. F. airs in order 10 pass current as one
of 'em, he was deeply insul,ed by tie Congos
making mouths at him and calling him
poor schite trash," for apeing royal style!
We do not wonder at his indignation occa
sionally breaking out towards the whole
colored race; our only wonder is that he is
not rabid auisonian--opposed 10 the
Constitution of the United States, for pro
teciing and fostering in either State or Ter
ritory an institution, the immediate recipi
ents of whose manifold blessings. would
thus be permitted 10 insult a Culley!
