As long as there is but one paper in this
lcounty, we hold it in be our duty to open
Inur columns as freely to the insertion of
rotnmunlcaltnns of one party as the other.
This pnvtieue we never) have refused, and
don’t intend to refuse nuw. Therefore, if
Mr. lrvin, or nny of his friends, or any
other pernon, feel themselves aggrieved by
any thing we publish, nil they have to lit) is
to commit their grievances to paper, In re
sperttlul language. hand them over to us.
and we will transmit them to the public.
This we do in order that none may have
cause to complain of unfairness. All are
ask is to have facts submitted to the people,‘
so that every man may exercise ihe rightsl
of a /rc€mun as his conscience dictates. I

A few Reasons why no [Denn

VIII.
We propooe giving very briefly, In four
oflhe prominent reasons “by Democrats
cannot support Mr. Irvin. the Federal can
didalo for Congress—and In doing m, ne
shall be guided by a slricl regard for Hull:
and juslice. But shbuld we err, ue would
thank any person for correcting us.
lat, Because he is the nonunee ofthe
Federal party—and this should, ofitaell.
be sulliclent to deter democrats from voting
for him, particularly when their own can
didate is his equal in every necessary qual
ificntton for a Congressman.
2d. Because he volal for the charter of
“ /}l(1(//€.3 [lan/.- 0/ [’cnns'i/lumlia.” altho’
‘ he «i as elected as a " Jar/won and anti
balm inanz” Mr, lrvin thinks the large
nppropriation he got to his district by that
vote shouldjustify it. In this case wedtf
{er with htm. If it was a crmte. to vote for
it atall, the degree of the crime was notli
lessened by taking the approprt'ttion in the.
way of a consideration. A representative!
should look to the “ pull/{c ire/fare.” and,
11‘s measure does not meet ltla approbation:
on its own merits, tto collateral inducementl
should swerve him. '
Azain—ue dlch-r whh I\lr.lrvln in an
olher respect. He says ms owx vow:
uould nol have defeated the measure.—
This may be true. in. one reuse. But it is
what each one of the other five (we think
II was figs) Senators say. 'lt was going
to pass,’ they each say, ‘ without my vote,
and I thought my district might as we”
have an appropriation as others. Now, is
it not natural to suppose that either one of
those Senators could have defeated the
chatter of that Bank ? Hut] either ol'theai
' backed out’ an the saying is, would they
nnt all have done so? And in this view of
the case we hold each one of them as guilty 4
of the act as if he had giver; the casting‘

We passover his course in the Senatoun
