who has boldly declared that ..cspital sho'd

nonnced these insulting expressions. or re-
buked the authors of themfat any timer
Are not these reasons sufficient, to prove
that he DID mean mechanics and working
men when he said Rag Tag and Bob
Taiisg"n He surely did not mean profess
ionalm men or merchants. As the expression
is used by those who are afflicted wita the
big-head, like his Nightipess is,. to desig
nate poor men. who are unable TO dress
finc,sthe inference is irresistible that he
meant "poor working men and mechanics

His Mightiress also denies in his ..Vin-
dex" article. that he ever said that "Black
Republicans ought to be shot down.
This is not the exact language we charged
him with uttering.. What we arraigned
him for saying is the following: IN .s's

This language was uttered by his Nigh
tincss in the post Office in this place be-
tween the Goth and 25th days of October
last. D. Il. PHILLIPs heard him utter the
disgraceful sentiments sentiment that
ought to consign its author to grave Of
inlamy 50 deep tha. the hand Of rcsurrec-
tion could never reach him.-and is conf
dent that he did use these exact Words
It is true his Mightness contended that his
language was slightly different. which we
will give him the benefit Of. In conver-
sation with Mr.. Phillips few days after
wards he said the following was the Ian
guage he used: I s'if<e 20 rF'3e -

Mr.. d. vinnedge was realing the same
paper with Packard, but when appealed to
by Mr.. Phillips to repeat the language

Der the exact words When il is taken
into consideration that his Mightincss is
an excitable, rattle Drained fellow. and like
crow. got more CAB than CUTS. it is not
probable that he stopped to think what he
was going to say before uttering it; but.
when he discovered that he had been over
heard to utter most infamous sentiment
that ought TO damn any man in the esti-
nation of civilized and law abiding COM
munity. he sought to modify it somewhat.
and take it partly back, as he did the
insulting remark he made about Yr. T. j +.
Sherwood, which he afterwards had to
swallow whole without mastit ating.-
He enjoyed little or no reputation for We
racity year ago. and therefore, the denial
of his language as reported by Mr.. rhil-
lips was not entitled to the weight of
feather then. His utter disregard of truth
since his nomination. has become pfbverb-
isl, and his recent attempt to fleece poor
man ont of a docket fee illegally, in con-
neciion with his unprofcssional and ungen-
tIemanly conduct at the same ti,ne. for the
sake of the paltry fee, demonstrates that
he is as destitute of honor as he is of vera
city. Is such man fit to represent an in
telligent aud high-minded people?
This is what his Might mess calls ISLAM

not. His low, black guard epi,hets and

damaging expositions we have made of his

published is true, anu that it is the only
defence he can make. ,.a s-r.s.s -,
