1.-THE Rings"

From all accounts they, (the rings,)
must be terrible things. We never be.
'longed to ring ofany kind, and hence
We are ignorant Of their workings, The
Radicals refer to them, however as things
existing in the democratic party, Omiuous Of
evil t. the best interest Of the country. If
they are correct, We say down with the
"rings.' They also, talk about "cliques'
and factions" Clique" is very ugly
word to use, aud "factipp" has an odious
sound to our ear. Down With the
"cliques," aud factions" say We. We
have no faith in Rings, "Cliques" or
"Factions,"
For goodness sake, don't let our people
be bothered with such stuff Its all stuff!
The people are too sensible not to sec
through it's utter aimsiness. -Geeabrir

BY reference to IN article in another
part Of ,lispapcr, it will DO seen that in The
suit against Henry s. Walker, Esq, late
Public Printer, the demurrer Of the dc.
PENDANT was sustained by Judge Smith,
and the case dismissed. This falls with a
heavy hand upon the man who expected to
90 into the United States Senate by his
persistent and almost intolerablo persecu.
ton, degradation and villiicution Of Mr.
Walker; and also to The Radical party
which had never lost an opportunity TO
misreprcsent and malign him with the
hope of making political capital The
men who we're thus engaged in persecu.
ting aud dishonoring Mr., Walker, for
selfish and party purposes, deserve the ex-
ccrations Of all honest men. We heartily
congratulate Mr.. Walker in his signal tri.
umph over his vindictivo prosecutors and
enemies.
