give a majority in the Legislature to the
Democratic party. 1t is no less an outrage
on decency and common honesty, and ought
TO be denounced Indignantly by every right

so loudly condemned. A wrong on one side
is no justification whatever for its repetition
ON the other, and it should wear the brand
deserved by wrong-doing, no matter who
may perpetrate it.

that they fall or flourish with it,
