u Our very astuse neighbor down street who

such as father Scott writes. which is about all,

we presume, like all modern sEamocrats, enter
ta'ns profound contemps for a public servant who
condescends to look after the interests Of his con-
stituents- Had Senator B., instead of introducing
bill to protect Cranberrics, given his wife an
awful whipping, or driven her on from his house,
he wou'dIhare stood much higher, doubtless, in

1j- About the most sensible thin. dan. ~ y, !.
ChicHso Convention was that of striking from one
OF the resolutions the word National" wherein
the party was spoken of as the National Republ;.
can party" One of the members very honestly
SAID 1t was not the National Republican party, and
ne consequently moved to strike out the "Natiou
al part OF the name, and it was done.-N A.

The Ledger should be ashamed to publish such
oareiaced falsehood as the above. No such re.
mark as sit is not the National Republican party,
was made by any one, and no such. motion "to
strike out the National part Of the name" was
made or adopted.
Is evident the Democracy, seeing their dcsper-
ate condition, have determined to resort to hard
Iieing to save their party. But it wont do you any

stones INTO Kentucky to disturb them in

sons would at once recognize the absurd
ity OF the assertion that an public man
had declared such purpose; but as there
are IMMIGRANTS to whom any perversion
Is welcome, and who would be repeating i
only the oftener if known to be false Int
found to be useful, we give here the ev.
