laWleesness and violence, murder. rapine
and arson follow the teachings of such
political leaders? The journal in ques-
ueD, in a jubilant editorial over the late
elections, comes to the help of the Dem
ocracy of Pennsylvania in column of
matter, of which the following is fair
sample;
The time, flank heaven has at last ar
rived when every true man may hold up

the Democrats applied to him for this

austerity of his loyalty Mr..
STRIcKLER refused; the flag could
not be contaminated by any such assO-
citation. This incident will illustrate
the stern and sterling purity of his pat
riOtism. Such virtue always receives
its own reward. He sought his in the
Postofice cash box. If justice be done
he may find it in the cross barred Con-
gress Hall, known as the Washington
Penitentiary.
A lameRtable feature of the affair is
that the fallen saint is q member of the

vice produces the rascals, or merely
seeks them. Either supposition is
plausible.
