sends the following Communication. He
has disguised himself under the signature Of
"Freedom." The Pass does not incline
much to this species Of literature which pre-
walls so extensively at the recurrence Of our
semi. annual crisis, the election. We are
quite willing to let the other papers do IL
all. But as the simon-pure Democrats have
no organ in this city now, we feel it incum-
bent on us to give them chance for ex-
preston at such momentous time:

party in our county, is its sudden growth,
and vitality whenever the spells are to be-

no more of them until next election.
The singular combination offered for the
sufRfages of the Democracy, must certainly
be very palatable to the Germans and Irish.

L. Y. Ware were somewhat conspicuous in
urging the mob to such amiahle proceedings
as resulted in knocking down and beating
every man who carried dinner basket to
his work, or had spade on his shoulder, or
who bad about him some similar symptom
of being a damned Dutehman or Irishman.h

the polls remember that these two men were
the colaborers Of those who stained the
streets of louisville and other cities with
your blood and slaughtered your women and
children; who chased and hunted to the
death your ministers of the Gospel; and
who wished to prescribe your religion, and
prevent you from exercising the privileges
Of citizenship. Democratic spoilsmen, who
