#. KING, JAMES b. CLARK.
THESE three meh, by their contempt-
lble tneadhery ON CMonlday last, have
bd'anksd themselves 1orsver as traitcns. |
The FIRST rs a eanator, and the last two
are representatives. in the General AS
ssmb,y. Thsy vera III -mira.eH and
electad ais Democrats. However, Demo-
Gratis I'M ghLs state may have baan d.
yLkisd upcn questions OF public policy. |
THEY all at least profsssed uneomprO-
missing opposition to john Edwand LAd-
dicks, and to the corrupt methods of
the Union Republican party. Yls. cln
lAIondky last Farlow and King voted
ON every ballet for Johln Edwala Ad
dicks, amd Clark vcl.tId fer him cn every
ballot except cine. Their acllcla was
am outrage upon thscr party, an lnsult
to their constituents aIld a gitLs be-
trayal OF the TRUST committed TO Jhem.
BY ahat act they impsachsd their
hclncr, Sunk their manhood, solied their
names and ddsgraoed their families.
These wretehed men have harmed
themselves more thAn dlBey can ever
haTm anykne else, and unless they are
enitldely without C.orlislsislnces their
palngs of uemcrse mutt he hOruLB.e. For
some reasorls it wcu.d he ms agree
able to us t0 pass ahsm .-yfN'Jlr pity

should be reorsant to our party and
state if vie should fail to Henounce
Jhsir peufidy.
When they CAME TO Dover Last JAM
uary they were looked upon ais hon-
orable men and Were TRUSTED. Last
Monday, when they snlsal1ed to thsir
hlcmIes, upon which they have brought
Suffering and disgrace, they were ne
garclh an over tAle stata as nanegades
and trailtcrs. The outward demonEtra-
