In Assassin W-ar.ied.

Modern loyalists and the negroes
have almost consummated that which
thcirg rgran6fathers and the Indians fail
ed to establish on this continent a
century ago-a Despotism, instead of
civil and religious liberty We have
irreligion and a multiplicity of crimes ;
enough to disgrace any half civilized
country. Where peace, union and
concord once dwelt, we have strife,
disunion and discord Those who
preached liberty and union most vehe-
mently. have robbed us of both Those
who denounced assassination as the
wickedest of all crimes, less than two
wears ago, now advertise for hands
Those who denounced "border ruff
ans" 50 enthusiastically for "stufiing
ballot boxes" and treating elections
with contempt, now set them aside by
proclamations. Those who found fault
with their neighbors for holding four
millions of negroes in slavery, have
enslaved twenty millions, and if not
checked will enslave all on this con-
tinent, even the bondholders.
We need proceed no farther for our
present purpose, to prove and satisfy
the most captious that the leaders Of
the party in power will commit any
crime, if necessary to perpetrate then
rule, and the longer they are tolerated
the tighter they will forge the letters
of slavery.
The Clerk Of the Rump Senate, pro
prietor of two papers, "both daily

an assassin in the following unmista-
be language. Read it;

be very small indeed"
The capitals are ours, but the Ian
guage is that of the editor Of the Phil

prictor, John W Forncy, is responsi

we suppose he would undertake thsf
