Ho stvles all men of wb.atover 'party, wbo ditfer vvith him in measuies of pulicy in the conduct of tbc vat, as sueessioiiistíi, and no butler tlian Jeff Da vis. He givcs aid and comfort to the eneiny by pioclaiming tliat a largo portion of people uf the Nortb are seces aionists uid syuipathisa with traitor-.-rHe don't belitre in fVeedo;u of speech or of the press, unless to preach and df seininate ihe principies of negro cqality. He dou't bulievo that JIcGlcllan is much ot a aem-ral, but favora Greeley's oh to Rii-lifnond poücy.

He deliglits ia blood lettin, whero the lives of Democratie soldiurs fued the strearn of blood, but will fight liis bit tles at hoiue ovor the Tribunes and Lilerator- But Abolitionism is not the only Iiob Dy of his ïiiiudlin bram. HÍ3 mind dcocased grasps phantoms for i'eahtica aud deliglits in cbimetas oí ëvefy kind. In rflKg'fon a bigot or skeptic. In all the relations of life, he abuass the gifts of his Maker by intülerauce and casts the clt.ud of his prcscuoe ou all around hira. We think we have already givcn fenouh of tho churacteristics of the crcature, to provo lift inden'ity. We will warrant the signs to stand all weathers.
