.Eo.,. OByrme and HIS Organ.

.BosssI GByrne and Has Organ.
Mr.. O'Byrne finds it very convenient
to have an organ. The Morning Herald
is the organ of John O'Byrne. When it
suits him he set his hounds on the track
Of whom he pleases. They are long
winded fellows and scent afar off. They
snuff up tainted meat all the way from
New Castle.
Byway of assistance Mr.. John o. Byrne
throws in his editorial chunks whenever
he pleases; and if it happens to be
puff of John O'Byrne, Esq, it is all the
same-the people are dumb and don't
know any better in the Heralds estima-
tion. And if it suits his purpose some-
what more fully he walks into the Herald
Office and assumes all the editorial re-
sponsibility over his own signature.
This he did yesterday in the most bold
and impudent, not TO say ignorant man.
ner; for the deficiency in modesty is
quite as great as it is in the knowledge
of legal lore.
On this occasion he re-asserts the lying
ISLANDERS that had already been printed
in the Herald about Sheriff Lambson,
signs his name to the article and sends
it forth afresh. So there, sirs; John
OByrne, Esq, says so. But the lie is
only re-uttered. The GAZETTE comes in
for share of abuse. Of course it has
mo manly independence, If it had it
would be silent and see the Democrats of
this county, who refused to be driven to
the Nerald's support, villihed and as
saulted at all times, by the Twitchell
lawyer. Now, the GAZETTE has fashion
of repaying those who assault it in
words that sting and smart, and we dc
not propose to take anything from this
low-priced barrister at the Bar of New
Castle county.
1t was all right in John O'Byrne TO at.
tack US in our profession-to traduce,
underate and abuse us in the Herald and
his other papers. But dreadful for US to
strike back. Well, we know it was. but
that is our practice and we mean that
Mr.. John O'Byrne shall receive the full
benefit of our shot when lie puts
himself IN the range Of our guns. II
there is one profession, when abused
more t.gG! than another it is the law, and
II there Is bad man, a mischief maker
more disgraceful to a community than
another it lie venal. corrupt and bad
lawyer.
II there ever Was case that was foul
dirty and scandalous it was that Iwit
chell case. We would have showed tina,
case up at the time had we not complied
with a confidential note from Mr.. Jch1
O'Byrne.
We take no pleasure IN newspape
controversies, and never deal in per
sonalities if it is possible to avoid il
But It would not be right for us to suffe
detraction from such characters, in ad
ditiop to the fusila1es OF John O'Byrne
Esq, from behind the editorial screen
The Sheriff has protession-it was as
signed him by the people for two years
has he no feeling-must he be wounde
in the most tender point, and no one I
defend him while performing the dutle
of public trust oh, no Profession
indeed, have we not all professions
one better than another-''on what mes
does this great Ca Sal feed: :" If we d
not extort high fees from thieves an
murderers. still we each pursue our cal
ing. No Philadelphia lawyer will be a
lowed to come here and detract from O,
people.
Now, with reference 10 the case
Mary McCann, Mr.. O'Byrne is like Il
poor thing that jumped out of the fryi,
pan into the fire. Every other lawy
knows that the jury is sworn to try
case according to the evidence; a iu,
could not decide upon the submission
vital point like the one in question II,
less it was put in evidence fully AZ
fairly, and assented to by both attorney
But, Mr.. Gordon knows how to take ca
