WHY DoN'r THE GovERNMENr Go FAsrER?-We
would hint to some Republican papers that the

be able to blow hot and cold with the same breath,
advocate and oppose the same measure two or
three times the same week, and put forth Jacobi-
nical threats Just now with impunitv; but their
conduct is observed by the rejecting portion of
the community; and will eventually cause them to
reap harvest of retribution. Their partisan sug-
gestions if carried out, would destroy our liberties
and, perhaps, end in consequences not to be hined
at just now. Had the Enquirer made such supges-
tions, we should by this time probably have been
indicted for treason, or received an admonition
