GF MR. CowAS, one Of the Republican L
S. Senators from this State, has become quite
a tavorite with the editor OF the bogus Dsmo
crat Of .Lis place, wbilo Mr.. WilWot, the 9th
er Republican Senator is denounced in no
measured terms. Cowan voted against the
expulsion OF Jesse ID. Bright from the Senate
for disloyalty, on technical grounds. Ii also
voted against the expulsion Of Senator Star.
ke, Of Oregon. who was charged with having
uttered reasonable language. and expressing
sympathy for the South, on the same grounds.
With d knowledge Of these facts, it dout re-
quire the vision Of prophet to tell why the
editor Of the Democrat admires Mr.. Cowsn
Bright was no better than Breckiurdge, and
like hin aud many others north Of Mason &
Dxon's line. was Opposed to coercion" and
only wanted climate to bring them out foil

ey THE TARIrF.-rhe editor Of the bogus
Democrat, in his efforts to prejudice the peo.
pie against the tariff levied to support the
war against the rebels, says
at keeps oil rascally foreign produces from
ruining this country by selling the laboriug
man coffee for 10 cents per ib. when he eau
just as well be mode to pay 25 cts, and from
dressing his family with cotton goods ut 10
cts. per yard when he can just as well have
them dressed with tue same goods at 20
cents"
Every intelligent editor knows that the
tariff enhances the price Of coffee only five
cents, and every intelligent editor ought to
know and does know that muslins and other
domestic cotton goods have not advanced one
farthiDg on account of the tariff and that our
manufacturers have for years undersold the
British iu their own markets. The rise o.
cotton, from ten cents per pound to thirty
owing 20 its scarcity, is the cause; and ye,
shilling muslns have not advanced three
cents per yard. Pray, Mr.. Purdy, have
some little respect for the intelligence o.
your readers, and do not treat them ns il
they were all dolts or idiots, by attempting
20 cram such stuff down their throats.
