The GssinaVs Of the above article Is

evil which 1t pretends to deplOre; or

faIsehood. The writer must have
been a ~pap-sucker, or an editor ofsome
such conservative paper ss the Ba1Ietin

fore suits well the style Of AVGlanche
conservatism just now. There are
some men and some journals that win
speak out their honest convictions rs

for consc quencc some who regard
treason to the Constitution as the
ehiefest ''sum Of all villainies"-some
who abhOr usurpations and corrup-

price. To this class Of "agitators" the
