The man who buys q vote and an office
by turning Radical (says the Richmond
Whig)is double.dyed traitor. He~iI a
traitor to his country and his Creator.
He goes over to party which is diSloyai
to the Constitution, to the best fnte,e estS
of the nation, and to humanity. To op.
pose that party is to be lcyal to the eouH-
try, and to t:ae solemn obligations to the
Supreme being. Some persons of facile
dispositions and accommodating logic
may argue with themselves that to ac-
cept the proffered bribs win be the best
way of conquering the Radicals; but the
man who acts upon such an idea takes a
leap into that deep-down gulf Of prosti-
tuition and disnonor from which resurrec-
tion is the forloneSt of hope.
