II VIII add to b glorious motto, Hber

It will bankrupt the State.
1t viii ruin the rich, without enrichinf
the poor. -
II viii annihilate private credit-whict
is the fortune Of all-and labor, which j:
the daily bread of every IN
1t will abolish property and the family,
1t will raise bloody heads on bloody
pixies.
1t will fill the prisons under suspicion
and empty them by massacre.
1t will put Europs in fire and civiliza-
ton in ashes.
1t viii make France a land of darkness,
1t win throttle liberty-smother up

Two internal machines always working to-
gether-the press, which pOurs forth ''ss-
signats," N the guillotine, which pOurs
forth human heads.
II will, in short, ~perpetrate in cold blood
what the men of '93 did in the heat Of pas
sion, and-after the horrible but grand
spectacle which our fathers have wit
nsssed-it will exhibit to us all that is
lnOnstrous in littleness.

THIS Congressional District has in Con-
gress a Tittlebat Titmouse. He obtained
his seat by fraud and viIlaiuy, and
looks about as comfortable and dig
nihed in it as a lsp-dog in the
arms Of ShOddy. He glories in the
euphoneous name of Smith; for short
they sometimes call him Winfield Jerusa-
lem. Smith looks somewhat like a man,
and is frequently taken for one. He was
cut out for a cyclops, but nature in max
ing him up, by mistake, reversed the pat
tern and gave MN two eyes and one ear,
instead Of two ears and one eye. There
IS yearning, inextinsuishable desire on
the part of the people to see some man
sent to Washington with a long pair
of tongs who viii take Smith by his one
car and lift him out of the capitol of the
nation as a young lady lifts out Of her
psrlor the struggling toad which she some
times finds embedded in the carpet. A
Convention meets at Jackson, on Tuesday
next, for the purpose of selecting some
one to perform this important duty. In
other words, a Democratic candidate for
Congress is to be selected on Tuesday
next. The duty is an important one, and
as only three more days intervene before
the Convention eonvenes, we would urge
upon the delegates to consult with
the people, to compare notes,
and thus DO prepared to make a
judicioUs selection. Our party is now
thoroughly organized and Harmonious:
bat 10 keep it so the Convention at Jack
son must see to it, that no d~iscordant feel
ing springs up in the Congressional can
vsss. Let the delegates be prepared to
discard all personal preferences if it be-
comes necessary let them not resort to
intrigue and wire-working; let them ask
but one ~question-whO is the man, not in
this or that county, but in the district at
large, that can best lead US on to victory?
We have a strong man for Governor
tried and true men have beer nominated
for Senator, Floater, and for the lower
branch Of the Legislature, and
let us give strength to These
nominations by selecting a man for Con-
gress possessing popularity, talent and
prudence. We DO not apprehend much
difficulty in selecting a candidate; but
in order that there may be none, let all
thin = 10 fairly conducted, and let the
delegates frOwn upon driIl-sergeants and
managers who, so they secure the nomi-
nation Of their fayOrite, care not whether
harmony be destroyed or discord be made
triumphant.
