FRAUD AND VIOLENCE.

III tie words Of Dr. Johnson, the anti
patriotic prejudices which have been 50
successfully advocated ly tie Times are
tie abortions o: folly impregnateL with
faction, which being produced against the
standing order Of nature, have not
strength sufficient for long life. They
are born only to scream and perish. and
leave those to contempt or detestation
whose kindness was employed to nurse
them into mischief. What Dr. Johnson
would impute to kindnes, We are disposed
= impute 70 uumitiSated se.tisLne,, il the
Tines. We are satisfied it never had a
kind feeling for the Southern people. Its |
kindness for them i, akin to it, tender |
ness expressed for the RLpJ B1IcAN. We |
,.-e satisfied We understand tie motives Of |
tie Tine, much better than tie Southern
people, and if the REPUBLICAN can sue
