The Intelligencer Is arraigned for speaking
of some Of the participants in the republican
procession rs 'ragamufins." the inference
conveyed being that this paper wantonly
makes light Of honest poverty. Nothing
could be further from the truth. Such n

everybody knows who knows US. The truth
is. that the dad taste" was on the part of the
republicans who had in their line a body OF
men In rags, stimulating poverty for political
Affect. These can scarcely ask immunity of
criticism because of their rags, We should '
think. IL there was any poverty on their part
it was a poverty Of intellect evidenced by
an attempt to make it appear that a forty per ,,
cent. tariff means free trade.
