aid then as its great namesake now IL,
was q rafting political sheet and was
giving the party that was just then as
Stunning the name OF Democrat some
telling blows. We Copy a few clauses
from an araignment OF that party which
it credits to the FredericktOWn Herald,
and which, for keenness Of satire and
cutting sarcasm is seldom eXcelled, and
after reading them we are lead TO the

pleased in the most passive insignih-
canoe, and he shall be a secretary OF
! War;
''Let q man be no lawyer, and he
shall be appointed Attorney General. -
"I4et him be half a lawyer, and he
shall be made secretary of the Navy"
Let q scoundIel have ruined a young
girl under promise of marriage let
him afterWard traduce her character in
Court, and marry the sister-in-law to a
Secretary of state; let a jury OF his
country have given a verdict of dam
ages against him, let him mOdestly as
sign as reason for setting aside their
verdict that he is a candidate for Con-
/ gress and ne shall Immediately after
wards be voted for by good democrats
and elected into Ongress.-Enquire OF
