MENT1L PER TEPSTON


One Of the editors of the little Democrat
the writer of the following extract from
that delectable sheet, (Harvey, we pre-
sumo is in a sad condition mentally. Hi
mind as well as his morals are totally per
yerted, and the consequence is his argu
ments and conclusions upon every subjec
are nearly always false and falacious- Al
an eyldence of this read the following ex
tract from his last issue:
Several radical papers of the Thad Ste

love for the government OF Washington

that government, and endorse every act of
Rump Congress that is passed for its
destruction"
What 10 you think of the author of such
stuff, gentle reader? Ought to have a
straight jacket put on him? That would
do no good, as he is incurable, we think,
and though he might injure others BIAS too
much animal instinct TO hurt himself or
tear his shirt. He thinks the people of

they are denied the privilege Of amusing

little if any better than stealing, but he
cannot see il in that light. lie thinks it all
honest and square, and regards our refer
ence 10 the matter occasionally. as an IN
warrantable interference with his vested
rights. From his standpoint this conclu-
sion is not entirely illogical. lie thinks
because Southern rebels are not allowed

lie bloody abolitionists OF course he
argues that he has just good right tn
wiring his support from the poor and un-
fortunate as his Democratic brethren down
South. Why not?
