Now, this as .isomething new to US,
and we have no doubt it will be SO to our
readers. In the first place, it will be
news 10 a great many that DIzzARD has
been standing faithfully by the Union and
the Constitution. There have been seri.
Gus doubts 90 that point. 1t is well
known that he has always been an advo-
cate Of Southern rights and institutions,
aud ever since he became an editor has
been playing the lick-spittle aud prating
about the certainty Of DisuDion, instead
OF oenouncipg the absurd idea /; and thus
he has played second eddie TO men who
would now scarcely condescend TO kick
him cut Of their way. They liked the
treason well enough, but now, alas they
despise the traitor More than this, he
was the ardent and enthusiastic suppor-
ter of JOHN c. BRECKINRIDGE for Presi-
dent, and although that unanointed scoun-
treason, and according to recent reports,
has even became so mean as TO steal hogs
from Union men in Kentucky, yet has
DIZZARD never uttered one word against
him-thus tacitly endorsing the criminal
and his crime When all this is remem-
bered, in conjunction with these other in
teresting facts, that he acquiesced in the
treason Of the Harrisburg Convention,
and has all along been fretting about, and
finding fault with, the course of Mr.. LIN
COLIN and his Cabinet, in their efforts to
put down Rebellion and save the Union,
is it any wonder that We and many 9th
ers should be surprised to find in the par
| agraph quoted, SO strong an expression
of his loyalty?
1t is something new to us also, and we
think it will be so to our readers, that we
"endeavored to incite mob to rid out his
establishment" We have heard it said,
| however, that sometime last summer a
party was being raised for that purpose,
and that Democrats were at the head of
it. Patriotism was running high, aud
owing to the tone Of his paper, his loyalty
had been seriously questioned for some
time. Suddenly one day he put himself
TO the trouble to print and publish an ''Ex-
ira, detailing Ia rebel stripe, the rever-
ses of the Federal forces under the brave
and immortal LYON. This was, to say the
least Of it, a very suspicious circumstance,
and might indeed have resulted in wind
ing up his concern. But while all this was
in progress we were in Philadelphia and
Washington, nor did We know anything
about it unit. our return, after an absence
of some ten days So Tar, then, from our
having anything to do with it, he himself
ncited the ''mob," by his own imprudent,
n OF to say reasonable, conduct Nor do
We remember to have ever pointed him
out as traitor worthy to occupy place
in the dungeon of Fort Lafayette"
But if, after the erpose we have given
of the fellow, our readers do not conclude,
that there have been and are better mer
in those dungeons than he is, then we'll
agree that we arc mistahen-that's all
There is yet another portion of his
article to which we must briefly turn our
attention. The crenzied creature has even
gone so far as to impugn our character
for truth and veracity, intimating that he
would not believe us on our oath Nay
more: in his madness, he has undertaken
to ridicule our personal appearance He
says Of us: 9Erca has pcrsonaI appear
ance Is against him. HIS couatenance IS
that Of q se5iish and designing scomdle2,
and an acute l'I.ysiogRonaist acon7d ot once
set him dorm as .tc|losc Iy the hand Of
nature marked, quoted and signed to do a
deed Of shame" Rather strong language
that. Our readers can Judge how much
truth it contains. If that is true Of us,
could anything be untrue of our maligner?
Inscrutable, indeed, are the ways of
Providence. Under some wise economy,
DIzZARD has been created and placed in
the world, and here he will be permitted
to iinger until his destiny is fulfilled, and
