1t now appears that Messrs. Hibbard and

to believe in somebody-that we withdraw the
commentator heretofore pronounced or
these gentlemen, and, upon this state of facts
pronounce them humbugs and shams. BY
Boosting Of their opposition to the measure,
and setting that up as claim for reelection,
they admitted that the grab was dishonest and
shameful; by refusing to draw their share oil

their constituents with counterfeit of hon.

over, they confessed, that being too cowardly
to steal on their own account, they were mean
enough to boast of it and make pretence Of
virtue till a convenient opportunity, when
they sneaked back and took their share ofthe
proceeds of the theft.
By the side of this transaction the shame

followers, who openly voted for this seizure,
become respectable. They at least put their
names to it, without so much as resorting to
the device of round robin. They said,
"We have the power TO take this money W e
want it, and SO we take it," Perhaps they
would never have dared do it had they stood
so near an election as the New Hampshire
members, and been liable to be called TO nc
count by their constituents within a month.
We do not think they weuld. Not one of the
perpetrators of this outrage would have dared
vote for it had his election been pending.
But however that may be, they did have the
shameful courage to walk up deliberately to

Let US thank God one of them is defeated, and
