scorn at the impotent rage Of a rival,
who is driven to such straits.
As to "thc forbearanoe heretofore
practiccd by the Democratic press
towards Clement l.. Vallandighsm,
but which has ceased TO be a virtue, ("
and the "lenity" which is no longer
to be exhibited we have only to say
that fortunately for the party, neiih-
or the World, nor the individuals
who inspire to write for it in Ohio,
constitute the democratic press" or
control it but, further, that IL any
portion Of the press, under the inau-
ence Of these malign eounselors, and
regardless Of the harmony of the
party, should choose to take up the
sword against Mr., VallaudighSm, we
very coolly and very firmly say unto
all such, IL foemon worthy Of our
steel,

But, says the World, or rather
,hey who use il: "vsllandigham has
now gone over to the enemy" In
deed, again Since whsnp No, gen.
tlcmeu, no. The enemy are the
World, and they who use it in Ohio
for corrupt and selfish purposes, and
with the design Of destroying the
harmony of the party. Mr., Vallan-
digham has not gone over to them.
They do not make up the Democratic
party, nor have they tho apostolic
keys which open aud shut the gates
Of the party. "Goue over to the
enemy" Cool that, for a writer in
so great rage We are reminded Of
Webster's reply when threatened
with being read out Of the Wing par
ty; "Let us see who gets out first.
No, Mr.. Vallaudigham only propos
es to help to rescue the party from q
ring" Of selfish aud veual politicians
who, through policy and for corrupt
purposes, have contributed largely to
reverse the current Of Democratic
success, and are now preparing to
destroy the party.
Again the python Of the World,
inspired by the two gentlemen in the
cave behind him, Cor her)--A pre-.
cious trio, the World, tho Flesh and
the Devil-says:
"Thc defeat in the Eighth District
of Ohio, can bo very we'll borne, If il
enables the Democratic party to fling
off this viper"
Inuondo, the vallnndigham aforo-
said, Well, if Manton Marble, OF

can perhaps avail themselves Of the

few weeks.
And now, a final word on the
World article. We have long believ,
cd that there was a class Of politicians
in Ohio who pretending friendship
yet secretly desired the defeat Of Mr.
nlcc.s1ll!c:.on. Waiting till he had nc
quircd strength and shown som,
prospect of nomination, they treach
erously came into his support, coolly
elbowing aud showing asid, his Older
and better friends. And now, wher
nothing can contribute more to hi
defeat than a bitter quarrel In th'
Democratic party Of Ohio, instead o.
concealing aud assuaging 1t, they in
woke, in the distant city Of New
York, tho aid Of the World, a pape
opposed to his nomination, to spread
it far and wide, and thus to accom-
plish their original purpose. For
weak and vain though they may he
they surely did not imagine that b.
one rude push Of their arm, they
could dispose Of their object OF theii
jealousy and rage. Mr.. Pendleton
too, may learn by and by, like othel
men 10 history, by sad experience
that "!aithfll are the wounds of 4
friend, but the kisses Of an enemy
are deeeitiul."
