animadvert little upon the career Of that
rapaciods rogue, and TO apply to the liyid
lizard few epthets which, as we supposed,
the cowardiy crayen richly merited. 1t
will be remembered that, at the time, we
declared that the hectoring hog had still
few secret sympathizers in our midst,
but little did We think that any one of
them would be fool-hardy enough to
emerge from his kennel, and iu the broad
daylight, take up the cudgel in defence of
such a sinking skunk.
But it seems we were doomed to be the
victim Of disappointment. The ostensible
editor Of the Democrat & lScntinet-that
ponderous and world-renowned sheet, so
popular among old women, aud SO useful
| for certain purposes not necessary here to
| be enumerated-the editor of that paper.
We say, who has SO long been feiguing
opposition to Treason and Traitors, has at
last seen fit to throw of his mask OF 10y
atty, and stretch out his frail arm in behalf
Of the vile viper which had SO long nestled
| in the bosom of the Union only for the
purpose OF stinsing it to death.
We do not certainly know whether the
editor made defence for this miserable
malefactor Of his own free will or not
Our impression is, however, that he did
not; but that, as usual, he was put forward
as a cats paw by the men who own him,
| and who, no doubt, like himself, were
dreadfully mortified and chagrined by
reason of the castigation which ne admin
istered to the scandalous scape- goat for
whom they cherish such deep and ever
lasting affection. If this pack Of jackals
could have been heard to howl, as they
certainly did howl, over our article, one
would very naturally have supposed that
we had first torn the hides of them, and
then Immediately afterwards 'touched

| In that mulish, drawing way for which
he is so distinguished, the insipid scribbler
for the Democrat d; ,SentiasI calls US to
account for cur presumption in telling a
few plain truths about the malignant mon
/ ster. He speaks Of our article as ''remark-
able" and as literary curiosity in It's
way; and because We wrote it, he calls US
an Ignorant and insolent old bolitionist, y
ga low minded 5lackguard," "an accom-
| plished black guard" aud many other nice
names-all of which, it was no doubt in
tended should be very severe. Following
the heels of all this, the scribbler then
takes us to task for "making malignant
assaults on the private character Of
whom why, the mendaclous miscreant
that he still regards as his fast friend, and
whose facile follower he delights to be.
II we could not employ our columns
more proftably, we would re-publsh this
scribbler's article entire, just to prove be-
yond all cavil what we have hitherto only
inferred from his dogged silence, namely,
that he is a Secession-sympathizer. II
our friends do not relax their encourage
ment and support in this most trying hour,
we fancy we shall be able to bear up under
! the pressure of the abuse he has heaped
upon our humble self, but there are
! certain features in his article which are
intolorable We allude to those portions
wherein he speaks of the "uatortunatt

mark of ll-. B,eck.nrt2ye!! To speak
thus OF such bloody bloat, is, of a verify

We have no disposition just now to

not been our fault if the libidinous liar Is

man when compared with such an hepatic
hell hound, and the facts already disclosed
will prove it. If any one wants further
information in regard to the course il
which the shouted snake is engaged, and
of the conduct of the convicted cut throat.
