The intense hate herein expressed,
against foreign-born citizens and Catholics,
has no parallel in this country. and yet
Andlew G. Curtin and his shoddy patriots,
after swearing away what little Christian
charity they possessed, now attempt TO
prove that Judge Woodward is as much
Of an migrate as themselves.
But We must hasten along. We here
produce good Abolition authority, for the
purpose of showing in what estimation
Curtin was held one month ago 10y one o
his chief toady organs, and we haye mol
heard of his conversion since that time.
