q We all know that an insidious, hypo-
critical man is to be more feared and despised
than an open and bold one. So a party that
assumes false name, makes pretensions to
pubic good and virtue, which its whole histo-

than open armed rebels.--lK Ken. Journal.

SE- We understand that some tall speci-
mems of swearing have recently been INDUCED
in by leading democrats of this city, at the ex-
pense of Gen. Shepley. The sin of Gen. S. is
not simply as military man, but from princi-
pie. For an old democrat to act from princi-
pie, 1t would seem, is to commit the party sin
that hath no forgiveness.
