Some idea Of the operation of the

extract Of speech delivered in the
House Of Representatives by Mr. Mar

"The farmer starting to his work has

limbs on sheet taxed SO per cent, and
covers himself with blanket that has

90 per cent, shoes taxed So per cent,
and hat taxed 70 per cent, opens family

he iniicts his diaboIi'm upon the public as an
anonymous correspondent.
The Editor of the SeHtincl, having returned
to his post, doubtless sees that the edtsriui ad-
voeaey of such wicked project as melting re-
ligious persecution, (the curse of true piety
everywhere may prove damaging to his party
and discrediiable to himself; aud, therefore,
he leaves the questionable work to this anony-
nous writer, who, in his absence, stole the
'livery Of the Devil" instead Of that of
Heaven" to serve his party, hoping thus
with the vapors OF religious intolerance to Itine
the African od0r which has become so nauseous
to his oifactories, but which, like the ''poisoned
shirt" will cling to the skirts Of Radioalism
forever.
Fox has little inclination and no ambition to
contend with an anonymous writer, whose ig-
norance Of that about which he cavils has led
him into blunders at which hi. intelligent read
ers are laughing, aud whose political zeal in
sustaining party dying from an overdose Of
amalgamation, has driven him beyond all pro.

notice Of this ridiculous would-be disturber of

Is it proper to commence political contest
by accusing " Priest" of writing political
article without proof? Is it proper thus to
refer to Laymau?" Is it proper to throw
the religious professions of even an Editor in
the face OF the publie2 Is it proper to publish
what the writer seems to regard a rep rehensi-
BILE religious dogma, and then attempt to hold |
