more disgusting than otherwise exple-
tives. Alas
We would be perfectly justifiable, in
view of the signal departure of the Dem
d, Sent. from the parliamentary rule es-
to return blow for blow. We would not
| be blamed were we to say that the author
OF the billingsgate in question -(not the
editor of the Dem. d Sent, by the way,
but "another man" lis poor, eontemp-
tible pettifogger man whose bread and
| butter has been vouchsafed unto him from
time almost iulnrcmorial by reason of his
afiiliatioh with the ruling party in this
county; a man who, above many others,
should be true friend of the Union that
pampers and protects him; man who is
not, perchance, subjected to "alternate
phases of niger on the brain," but as
evidently afflicted with an undue proper
ton of bad whisky bearing down on the
same locality and man upon whom, to
quote from his thrice told tale, the "full
effugence of the lunar luminary" hath an
extremely baleful effect But we are not
disposed, just at present, to invoke the
lee talionis. At some future period we
may be induced to take an inside view of
the Dem. d; Sent. establishment, when the
result of our observation will be duly
spread before our readers. The names of
its stockholders, of all and singular its
editors, and of its different "blowers and
strikers" together with brief political
biographies of the same, would furnish
ample material for series of highly in
teresting sketches. In which case, the
worthless aforesaid might possibly find us
reasonably well "posted," and come to the
conclusion that they have been BARKER
ing up the wrong tree Of late.
The cause of which the Mysteries of the
Dem, q; Sent. is the effect was simply that
we stated that that ancient institution and
its adherents were not so patriotic nor so
warmly interested in behalf of the Union
as they might be. That, besides being
lukewurm, their sympathies leaned to the
side of the South We reiterate the
charge. If it were not so, where, let us
ask. is their enthusiasm in the cause of
the war-that enthusiasm which charac-
terizes all true patriots? Where their
support and moral assistance of the con-
stituted authorities, who, in the name of
the People, are waging that war? Where
their denunciation Of the unholy efforts
of JEFF. DAVIS & Co. to compass our
ruin? Echo answers-norheTe In lieu
thereof, they bubble and prate, and waste
their time in denouncing the every act of
the Administration looking toward the
crushing out of the Rebellion as ''uncou-
stitutional," and as calculated to ''enslave
the liberty of the press and the privileges
of the poor man." They DON'T desire to
see their "poor misguided brethren of the
South hurt-especially if a compromise,
be it to us dishonorable or otherwise, can
be effected to patch up the difficulty, and
secure their votes in the future to the
great Loco-Foco party. Moreover, rather
than have a peace conquered and the
Union saved under Republican admin
istration, they would gladly see the whole
war 20 by default, and the fair fabric of
our liberties shattered from turre: to
foundation stone
"a broken GENTS Unborn light
Scattered, ne'er to re-unite."
The Dem, 6 Sent. has no sympathy or
friendship to express for our cause, and
nothing but honeyed words for the Trai-
tors. "He that is not for us is against
u.s."
We here say, as we have said before,
that the Dem. & Sent. is the exponent of
the principles of purely .BEEcKINRIDGE
CLIQUE. Its owners and editors yet follow
in the political footsteps of that illustri-
Gus Traitor and Great Uuhung, and swear
by his name as the Musselman swears by
the beard of the Prophet They conscien-
tiously live up to the platform of princi-
ciples governing his past and present
career,-vile and Internal though it may
be, and is,-and patriotism and self respect
are alike impotent to swerve them hairs
breadth therefrom. Like their prototype,
they oppose every official act of the Ad-
ministlati on the plea of "unconstitu-
