In- ■ stead of upholding the Republican fi rm of government, their every action is an tagonistio to its prineipl s. They roll re volution, bloodshed and anarchy under their tongues ns sweet morsels.

They are giving proof nj on proof to the world, tlmt they are not controlled! in any of their actions by love, even for their own section, but hatred toward the South. Not content with seeing her laid waste by n protracted war against superior numbers and resources—w itli seeing her cities and towns heaped in ruins—her peo ple clothed in mourning, and her vast teii tay marked from one end to the other by the devastating inarch of hostile armies, they must sfe her suffer more—she must got upon tiie platffr’ui of Sumner 1 , Stevens & Cos., and worship their ebony idols. 1 JJut let them fume ah.! lot ..nvl-b i! over with rage—nmi the sooner tins is ac complished the better for the count y.— They arc damning themselves in the eyes of the world—they arc to a great extent misrepresenting their t< iwtinients—in proof of tins we would cite the given tcsli tix-uiit-ir—iiiia UegrTimg an level's oL harmony and good given mnent ever’, when) with their brazen-incod perfidy.
