and, while all Ditty alike be 'tempted by good
muti es., and g,ot erne(' by patriotic intentions,
yet all alike are liable to err ; and reason,
therefore, would dictate that the safest man

politicians who have never aspired higher
than to a county office. This is true. It can
not and will not be denied by those who are

that his intentions are the best in the'world,

counsellors for a young anti inexperienced
President? And suds men would be his

Bich have been frequent,—a political ism.,
which bad its day, and has beets toteceeded by
many
,ot hors. ILS editorial columns have ever
been used nut only as the channel of escape
for the venom of its editor, but likewise of
others w /to, have been, from time to time, its_
controllers. The great and good win of the
Democratic p:artv, the Democratic Presidents,
from Andrew Jackson down to the present
incumbent of the Presidentia,l chair, have been
vilitit-t in the columns of that paper. The
same has been the case as to all who have
heel) elevatoil by the Democracy to the station
of Chief 3lagiArate of our own State, or been
honored by the party with its support. The
gifted Mu Illortberg, who wa , , retn,osed by death
ere he was crowned with the political - honors
he so richly merited, was the object of
,the
most malignant attacks in the columns of the
Star.
Those who have occupied a more h u mbi e po
sition in the party have fouinl no surer road to
the eon !Mentl of the Democrac v. than the abuse
heaped u poll them in the columns of the Star.
'rho praise of that paper would be the politi
cal doom of an v Democrat.
The present editor is not responsible, of
course, for the a..ts and eonduct. of his prede.
cossors. llr, has political sills enough in all
conscience committed by himself for one man
to answer for. We-mm.(3ly bring up these old
reministen,•es of the paper to prove that with
all the changes in the editorial department,
the course of the paper bus evor been destruct
ive. With age its venom has increased.—
Some of the former editors had redeeMing
traits.. You could see something about them to
show they had a heart and sometime:4 repent
ed_ the dirty work cnnunitted to their hands.
The present editor is of the Greeley stamp,
and as hypocritical as his great prototype.
Thu present position of the Star shows
that it is forsaken by many who were former
ly bound to it by party attachmonts. Shunned
and hated by all respectable Whi!rs, it seems
to lie hith!ring like a culprit in the air.
