He semis' to Oirget that , it was a-republican legislitture that called the - conven4on tol form the new constitution, and thit: a majority of- at body were republicans that with but few exceptions republi can press of the State advocated the • adoption of the constitut ion. It is true, some prominent republicans of the Stare and - in this corintylippos ed it, and we believe conspientiously, because no one denies, the _fact that there are very grave blunders in the instrument, which will have to be remedied. Bat did not the demo crats oppose it, too? We could name several in this county who didi and in the State some of the Most promi nent members of that party exerted a'.l their influence against! it. In this county, as a rule, in the strong re publican districts, but little opposi lion was manifested. The truth is, the great [mass of the republican party are hisnest and have adhered to the prinOples upon which the party vas organiz.ed—hon estY and economy in the administra tion of the government. ! When the. republican party came into power in this State, it received as a bequest from the defunct demo4ratie party, which, had ruled the. State for years, a State:debt of over for* millions of dollars. LesS than twenty years of repnblican role' has reduced the debt to about twenty millions, besides having accumulated a 'sinking fund of ten pillions, which w4l be applied toward the liquidation of the debt. All this has-been accomplished by the republican party, while the extra.:, ordinary expenses incident to' the war were met, and State taxes on real estate and nearly :all personal property aboliihed. Did ever a par ty make a,-prouder record?-.:.1n the management of our . ciountY - affairs the same wisdom, prudence and 'Strict economy have been manifest.- Our taxes are nothing compared. with those of democratic counties adjoin.: ing us, and the expenses of the coun ty, are not nearly so great now, in comparison with the growth of the county, as thy were under demo cratic rule thirty years 'itgo. These facts are all known to the iceople, and the Argue/greatly under rates their intelligence and judgment if it 'believes they will eV..er again con sent 'to place in' power the party who - • 'record in county, state and national affairs is one of extravagance, corruption and ruin. . Tiu attempt of Col. Von:iny to ar rogate to himself and the Pres. all the 'creclii of the adoptiOn of the , new _constitution, does not Meet the 4tp prehalion 'of the friends!of the thronghout the State.. Neither' will his ungentlemanly and cowarAly attack on Senator CA3tImON and others who .were honestly opposed to the neW constitution, add anything, to his credit. Senator CASIEBON'S patri otic and unselfish devotion to the in terests of the country, and his trium:- pima vindication by the people at the last Gubernatorial.f.election are matters of history, and 01 that the Pres..; may say against Lim will not injure his good reputation with in telligent men. That the!General has faults and that he has committed er rors, we do mot deny, but CoL Fon- Nu's political ' record is not above suspicion ; indeed, it is more than suspected that many of ; the frauds in the city elections of which he cona;. plains, were inaugurated - by himself the campaign of 1856; when,thro' his manipulation this State was Sr.udnlently carried fOi JAMES Er- *We doubt not Gen.

Satan, accoTaing to John Milton, when addressing his shattered legions after their defeat, knew better than to claim a vic tory. The'' Prince of Liars was too 'wise to tell. a lie which nobody would' beliaie, and`. he en claimed: " What tho' the field be lost! All is not,lost—the unconquerable will and courage never to submit or yield.", Some people have Satan's propensity to lie, without his shrew& ness to tell tho truth, when it would answer their purpose a great - deal, better.
