critical reader think Of this He (Sumner1 is the
first to quail at the faint mutterngs Of the coming
storm. He hidcth himself. Hc reads the handwrit-
ing upon the wall, and steals away, leaving to their
fato his turbulent irritable, UNJUST and mercenary
associates" First, Mr. Sumner is described as
general who "rides off the fsld at the moment his
forces begins to waver leaving them to be slaugh-
tered" Secondly, Mr.. Sumner is described
as pilot "who having taken the vessel
among the breakers deserts the crew. Finally,
this ready writer winds up with the following
miraculous denuncatOn Shame upon the man
who is now seen to havo no fiber of moral courage in
him; who is SIMPLY the incarnation of the proyerb

out of the country, and cannot read the following:
"His mingled feelings Of wounded pride, disap-
pointed ambition, anger, and despair must poison
every element Of enjoyment; and he has fled that

an act of Congress requiring every ctizon to sup
port the Philadelphia ticket or go to jail Perhaps
it argues something uncomfOrtably near total do
pravity in a man to think for himself and to refuse
to take his politics from the Postmasters. AT any

According to The Revislo. it instInctyely felt
that people in the city would simply have to take
the law into their own hands and combine to lyncL
the rudians who assailed them" Such a case nat
urally produced a reaction, just it would in Now
York. and we are told that "some magistrates for tho
