Burrows a HYnOcrite.

The least offensive word that can be used
10 describe Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan,
now stumpng Virginia in the interest of
MALONE. is "hypocrite." He could no
doubt shed tears after the manner of q
crocodile, because his wOuld-be victims re-
fuse to be deceived by the double-faced
Michigander, who In the national House
of Representatives is an ayowed and unre-
lenting enemy of the southern people, but
on the hustings in Virginia is pretended
sympathizer with them and professed adj
vocate OF measures which as congress
man he has opposed. The reader is invited

the bloody battles fought in the late war
round about the place, and said he re-

southern people i-BURRows. who voted for
the force bill which would have enslaved

the southern people TO establish separate
schools for the negroes-BURGows. who
had never had kind word for the South
until he came To Virginia in the service of
her worst enemy and enlisted under the
most dangerous foe she has ever had!
BURROWS claiming to be our friend-BuR-
ROWS, who made the most vindictive attack
upon the southern people which was ever
heard in the House of Representatives.
Here are his words;
Wrongs the most cruel, ostracsm the
most malignant, crimes the most revolt
ing, revolutions the most unprOvoked.
conspiracies the most monstrous, persecu-
tions the most relentless. riots the most
bloody, and murder the most foul have
characterized this era of southern repent
ance and returning loyalty"
Were we not entirely justifable in pro-
nouncing such man "a hypocrite"

He at the same time charged the Democrats
with being opposed TO all these things.
Was such impudenee ever heard of?
