"Ihem'S my Sentiments"

Your editorial of this morning with re-
gard to professional lobbyists" is just to
the point. If there is creature, on this
green earth, more contemplate than
another, it is this one you have so graphic
ally described. When man can obtain
his consent to enter legislative body, as
sembled for the high purpose of promoting
the welfare of all the people, and accept a
bride to perform any sort of work, honora-
BILE or dishonorable, he is completely de-
void of manhood The wonder is that
patriotic legislators will suffer such q
"skunk" to pollute their atmosphere. He
is walking mass of moral qualification,
sinking as he goes and filling the air
with the odor of his rotten
carcass! Does such a monster haunt the
halls of our capitol? How is this? Who
is he? Where does he live? / have had
whisperings that there were one or more
lOunging about the General Assembly,
sneaking and maneuvering in the presence
of members of that body, and ready to &C.
cept fee to engineer any matter that
might come up. Is it true, as r,saor has it,
that one of these monsters has already Sc
cured ten, thousand dollars for this dirty
work? Can't he be freed? L have had
his dimensions, age, complexion and ,phere-
abouts fully set forth! FEARLESS.
