era" in which some personal illusions
were made to some prominent members
OF the House, and said that man who
could calumniate so vilIainously, was
devoid of all honor and decency and
could not be paid to avow his name.
He who would write a letter impugn-
ing the character Of others, aud not
sign his name to 1t, is worse than a
thief. No one but a villlanous coward,
that would sneak behind an anony-
nous signature, would do such a thing.

beneath the notice OF gentleman. If
correspondents choose to attack the
political characters OF gentlemen, he
had no objection to it, bit when they

cend the privileges or correspondents
and act unbecoming the dignity of
journalists.
