porntion takes his own risk as to their
validity and legality.
The people Of Michigan, who have been
rescued by this judicial decision from this
debt Of 81, SOC, 900, which for half con-
tu1y would hang rs mortgage upon their
property, Will, before long, admire the wiis-
dom and the frznness OF the court which
las thus interposed the constitution to save
them from interminablo and consuming
taxation
SERVING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY,
Mr. D. c. Foruey, the publisher of the
Washington Chronicle, "feels it to be his
duty to assist in exposing deliberate out
rage upon justice and an equally deliberate
insult to the Republican party" aud he
accordingly proceeds to do his duty, to the
length Of about two columns of his paper.
The outrage and the Insult, as We showed
two or three days ago, were in the unblush-
ing discovery and unheatating exposure by
Senatorial committee that Mr. Forney
had received from Governor Bullock, Of
Georgia, about $500, for the unques-
tionable purpose OF influencing lcgis-
lation, and that, to make it appear
fair business transaction, tho account
books of the Chronicle had been altered
to meet the case since the original entries
were made To expose little matter Of
this sort is, of course, an outrageous insult
to the Republican party, aud Mr. Forney
deserves evegybody's thanks for setting it
forth in its true light. He tells US that the
men guilty Of this outrage, though " clothed
in Congressional robes" were Judicial in
quikito1s, and "technicat lawyers" and
neutrality-suspicious." who ma Ia themselves q
sheer cabal, unworthy Of II free govern
ment and suitable only TO a eespotism like
ancient Spain" They were also an sob
structive quartette, +" aud an AZ austere quar-
tette, aud they were led Oh in '*their
Ioudly. rumpeted accusations against an
honest man" by one Senator who was
dyspeptic and another who was
eloomy-the "dysptptlo Edmunds"
and the "gloomy Ferry" Mr. Fer
~ being bss;ie nervous gentleman
from Connecticut" and an s'oracle, while
both he ant the "dyspeptio Edmunds,"
are also "buT prophets" Nobody, per-
haps, Will be surprised, after the true char
acter Of these men is thus set forth, to
hear Of the measures to which they resort
ed to find out whether the figures in Mr.,
Forney;s account books w.re altered; but
they actually held the leaves OF TIA books
up to the light, and, not being satisfied with
even 50 dastardly IN outrage as that, they
applied 1nngnifying glass to them; OF, to
put Il with all the force Of Mr.. Forney's
own italics" then applied q microscopic
glass to the figures" As an humble MEM
ber of the Republican party we
resent this insult with all our
might and main, and declare it
to be insuferable and unpardonable, no
matter how gloomy, ordyspeptic, or nervous
the men may be who perpetrated it, or
whether the *trobes" they wear are Con-
gressionA OF belonging to the despotism Of
ancient Spain. There is nothing like it in
al our history, and things have certainly
come to very prettypass if q man eannotdo
as be has mind to without quartettes and
things getting up inquizihons aud making
"deGberate and heartless prosecutions
and using microscopic glasses. We beg to
tender to Mr. Forney the. assurances
of our most distinguished consideration
and sympathy, and entirely agree
