A certain consecrated cobblcr of this
community seems equally anxious to OBJ
tain notoriety, whether infamous or not
seems to be a matter Of utter Indifference
to him, SO that he can riggle himself into
public notice. We have always enter
tanned the highest regard for the true
minister of 5hrist, WHO is zealcusly en-
gagged ia diffusing light and good will
among men ; but when the garb Of a min
lister is worn only to deceive the world
and cover malice, bypocracy and cruelty;
and is at the same time trailed in the pc.
litical filth and mire of the times and
then on the Sabbath carried into the p1'-
pit dedicated to truth and the Christian
religion, we must offer our humble pro-
test.
Against such a nest Of vipers, defam.

will,not fail TO drag them before q dis
gusted public, though they may attempt
TO shield themselves behind their minis
terial robes, which they are disgracing.-
For a whole week one of these creatures
has exerted himself to his utmost to incitc
a riot and bloodshed in this village, by
r%ivaling in billingsgate a very fisher wo'
man, in his denuuciations Of a party that
was honorsd and great before his foul
breath contaminated the air.
His is the cry of vengeance. Flo wants
every man differing with him led to
speedy death. He would extend no quar-
tiers to vanquished enemy. Like the
entutored savage of the forest he would
wreak his vengeance upon his foes BY
exquisite tortures ; he could see "Mr
JEFFERSON DAVIS hanged, and after
the vulturcs Of the air had picked the
flesh from his bones, he would have the
drummers t,ke his skull and beat Yam
kee doodle on it, and then make a hospi
tai for a sick skunk out it." You devil
