"A man convinced against his viii

When we first read the untruth-
full structures and unjust censure Of
Judge Wright's conduct in the
Johnston VS.. Morrison libel suit
published in the Democrat, we
promptly concluded that Albright,
had been imposed upon-that the
puny bastard had evaded the vigil
lance of the editor, and crept into
the crib of what we supposed was
a Democratic paper, and that as
soon as its presence was made
known, it would be ousted.
Now, that we know, that the Dem
ocrat has been reliably informed of
the truth of the matter, from its
correspondent in st. Johns and over
the signature of Hon. Harris Bald

priety of the Judges conducts
unwilling to be convinced of the
business of the rebuke Sanford in

derstand the situation.
Between the lines of this unfriend-

and turned as it is. one can see the
great ironed glove of the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad Company. In
stead of the Outspoken Indignation
of manly Democratic editor, at
gross reflections upon an honora-

we recognize the winnings of a mis-

change of sentiment? A few weeks
since you were boycotted, as you
complained, because of your de-
fence of the peoples rights against
this monopoly-now you are meek

that smote you. Common folks
are forced to the conclusion that
you have been bought-sold out,

of the guinea helps the hurt that
honor feels"
You reflect upon our Chief Justice
for the possession of the very virtue
which you have sold for mess of
pottage. You are not pure enough
to appreciate the high integrity
which enables the Judge, though
poor, to scorn the yellow gold of
the corporation.

that prior to coming to New Next
