most scornfully indignant way, denies the
statement which some Cincinnati fellow
had made about the formers joining the
Missouri politicians. To the mind of DR..
Purvis the Cincinnati movement, il success
ful, could produce only one result, and
that is to place the Democratic party in
power.
The New York Tribune has never
heretofore displayed remarkable admiration
Nor female orators, lecturers, &C., whatso-
ever their particular ''mission;v but it

The Chicago Times, organ of Liberal
Democracy, sent coluinn of defiance the
other day into the yitals of the Chicago
Tribune, organ of the Liberal Republicans,
to this effect: " You two-tenths want to
nominate ticket for us eight-tcnths, and

showing him guilty OF glaring,hypocrisy and
the most deteStable double dealing, and
closing in these words I: "We consign him
to the tender mercies of the Cincinnati NAL

The Cleveland Leader says: "Nlany
persons proposing to attend the Cincinnati
Convention have hit upon the project of do
ing so without the risk of compromising
themselves-that is, unless the new depar-
ture shall turn out brilliant success.
They hire rooms in the hotels of that city
in the name Of other parties. Thus, if the
