Ing prince from their midst Tho choice fell
upon a mortal. and that his labors night be more
successful his name was concealed. His existence
WAS soon known to men from his works, and he
has always been spoken of as '.thc meanest man
alive" He has finally displayed his eleven foot,
and address him by his full title.
It's strange the discovery has hot been made
ere this His course as an editor and a man rem
@ered himself dstnsuishable from among ten

intended in this issue TO speak of his maiesty's
course toward our candidate for Representative,

published in the Republican charging DR.. CalkiD s

for any office, who is not politician, and who is
spoken Of by his political friends and enemies at

Mr. Cslkns ctlei on Mr.. M informed
him Of the injustice and fulsity and reQuSed the
of the author. Mr.. Mattingly through his
paper says he is not inclined to DO NJ. Calkns
justice until he rctlacts the lies he has published
about him (Nsttingly,) and the pure moral and
gentcmanlv editor further SAYS:
"Calkins has the appearance ola base hypocrite
and il he did not make the remark To his wife at

Now If any candid man, Republican or DEM
ocrst. will read the above paragraph and attempt
to Justify Mattingiy. then will acknowledge
that the term Infamous, Prince of the Depravsd
are unjust when applied to him.
Calkins is 4 Democrat, therefore Mattingly is
unfavoraby impressed with hi, personal appear

not strike his fancy, he unhesitatp.sly publishes
to the world that he is-in his estms ton-.'a base
hypocrte and mean enough to abuse the partner
of his life, while sho is lying npon her death bed"
Oh, shame where ID thy blush. Oh. depravity
whcrcis thy limit. Truly the freedom of the Press
is limitlcss. If a is unfortunate enough to pos

Indeed beauty is essential to responsibility.
would advise all men who are not perfectly sat
s6ed that they good looking TO keep clear OF
his Ogley majesty. Bat | am willing to leave
this matter with the people and let them form
their own conclusions of the man that will publish
such an article.
His course toward our candidate for the Iegis
lature is scarcely less base.
1t is useless to attempt to rccaptulate all the
lies that have been published in the Republican
about Mark Packard, but will cnumeraie enough
to convince any that he w,liully misrepresents
him, and deliberately and knowingly lies about
him.
His lies OF late may be classed follows:
LIE No |. That Packard sa ID he would like &c
see Black Republicans shot down.
This scarcely needs comment. Intelligent mer
Will laugh 10 scorn this shallow attempt to deceive
them Mr. Packard has manifested his willin gne -
to certify that he never used any such an express

pie expression 20 the contrary, and no man o.
any responsibility has ever questioned Mr. Pack ards
veracity,
Mattlngly admits that he said he .'would like
10 see the Black Republicans shot down that In
cited that Instruction." Then for the sake o.
proving that Packard wanted to the Repub
shot, he admits that the Republican party in

YOU loose your character, will begin to think
YOU more fool than knave
The defence the Prince makes for John Brown
is teaching, md his warning to Republicans tc
avoid Packard and not get "shot down." is illu
trative of his discretion and dsinterestedness.
lgnoramus, rest easy, Mark shan't ''shoot you
down" you shall never be hurt. You are protect

LIE No. 2. That Packard used the term 'grcas,
menchanc" in contemptuons manner, when run

This is simply lie. lie which no body faith
