be unable to publish another number OF

his waning fortunes and preserved his

CARELESS OF the evils that threatened our
community, of the sad consequences that
seemed inevitable. bis malice and avarico
were gratified and the fiend rejoicsd.
ITO think that such brute. such q
eroveling beast, could be actuated by pa
triotic motive would be as absurd as to
believe the devil to be christian.
''All the poor wretch gained by the
scheme was few advertisements and q
temporary rally of his partizans around
him. He will in return receive the deep
loath;ng and execration Of all good citi-
xens, and complete bis process of starva-
ton which he so franticslly sought to
avoid. Perhaps hejs more to be pitied
than despised.

is more to be pitied than blamed. perhaps,
for the above exhibition Of phistishness.
Nature will show itself. He felt very

But. alas. he has cruelty disappointed our
expsctations.-and gaunt starvation Che

cruel in him to thus thwart oar schemes
upon his vaporings in future. and not take
any trouble to have him arrested, in thu
vain hope of getting him ont of the way
It cost us one cent postage on copy o.
his paper which we sent to Gen. Has call
and no more, to have him arrested, bu
we shall not invest any more in that way
What's the use? He las no idea of being
made martyr of for his own or any bod,
else's benefit. IF Gen. Hascail has nj
more trouble to "intimidate" the rest o
s'ths tens of thousands of Democrats il

how long will it take him to finish til
job?
But, We "chuckled" over his arrest!-
Did the sniveling phiste expect us to CT.

personally concerned. we did not rejoic
over his arrest. and if our wishes had bee
