The Real Enemies ofthe United
States Government.

When will Office loving demagogues learn
wisdom Is it in them to lay aside, for
one day, their Unsuitable love of the plum
der of Office and devote their talents, such
as they are, to tho salvation of their coun.
try! We fear not. The time has come
for the authorities at Washington to take
in hand some Of its pr9fused friends, but,
who, by belonging ostensibly to the house
hold of Republicanism, are doing the ad'
ministration more damage than JEFF. Davis
and the whole of his hellish crew.
A paper, which ought to know better, if
it.possesscs only enough sense to keep it
out of an Insane ASYLUM, in answering a

papers, who, without the least regard to
truth, and the ordiusfy courtesies OF de-

This paper knows that these very Sc.
ceasionists murdered Stephen A. Douglas
and mslead hundreds of honest men into

Breckenridge, who is to-day either a vag

Here stands the fact patent to all the
community, and we repeat the question
put by the DtiuVare Gazette, "are thers
