Cut what evidence, let us ask, have the Whigparty that Messrs. Hunt, Daniel-jt- ,h and Rodes will not betray their cause, asfj ' ile! tb.3v once hive the Democratic. The evidence is not to be sound in the fidelity to their principles, that their pust politi- cal history tarnishes. Well do we re- member, to have heard Mr. Hunt repeat- edly proclaim his sincere conviction that our worthy President was the most patri- otic man iu the Republic, and that the whole country labored under a heavier debt of gratitude to him than any other; and cqunlly well is it impressed upon our minds, with what disgusting feelings lie spoke of the conduct of Mr. CI iy in vo- ting for Mr. Adams, and afterwards ac cepting the office of Secreiary of Stale under him; and we have even heard it in- timated that he would not support the nominee of the Whi party, Gen. Harri- son, because of his decided preference of Mr. Clay. Mr. Daniel too, was once amongst the most clamorous of the supporters of Ge- neral Jackaon; and upon his back rode triumphantly into Congress, where he re- mained until fie linitcA.-lii-s fortunes wih the great John C.

The same motives which in 'mco tha felon to join in the general cry of "sto, thief," seem to be the basis of the policy pursued by that piebald confederation of odds and ends, of any thing, every thing. and nothing, which is now known bv the assumed appellation of "the Whi'g parl- y.''''

Editor: You, I suppose, are aware, of the law passed by the last Legislature of our state requiring the people of Lexington to send annual- ly to Frankfort five hundred dollars to pay a judge. We say nothing about the similarity cf tins act to that ol the man who, to evade tne law, sells a nut for 61 cents, and gives the puichaser a glass of giog. But we ask, have not our law- makers played the same game upon the Constitu- tion, whirh provides that judges shall he paid out the State Tieesury. We ask again what clause in the Constitution authorises them to com- - a sew a handful of Deoole. such.asiLexineton compared with the State of ICenjJicjy to pay judge lor me ; auu mat, too, on piiiu ui unviug their property sold as a penalty : and then to im- pose on ihem a judge that tney never asked for man, ton, in no way qualified for the office of a the judge: and then, as is to add insult to injury, lo "Superadd, a president of the Council with a salary S2U0, to be paid by the same unfortunate peo- ple; a people too, who had asked them, almost masse, to repeal the act chartering the City of Lexington. The refusal' of this petition we es- teem ungeneinus, and the enact-nen- i of the law appointing a judue lo be paid by lhe citizens of Lexington, we esteem unconstitutional, and we appeal to legal men fur a confirmation of opinion. is hoped, that Ihe people of Lexington will once more awaketp their own interests and at the elec- tion in Mayput a veto upon such baneful tricks such urrconslitutionai"la.vsas have been liuMoo long imposed up'hHhejn. - - NAPOLEON.

The same motives which in 'mco thafelon to join in the general cry of "sto,thief," seem to be the basis of the policypursued by that piebald confederation ofodds and ends, of any thing, every thing.and nothing, which is now known bv theassumed appellation of "the Whi'g parl-y.''''

But Mr Wickliffe, no: to be outdone in

We say nothing about the similarity cftins act to that ol the man who, to evade tne law,sells a nut for 61 cents, and gives the puichaser aglass of giog. But we ask, have not our law-

makers played the same game upon the Constitu-tion, whirh provides that judges shall he paid out

the State Tieesury. We ask again whatclause in the Constitution authorises them to com- -

a sew a handful of Deoole. such.asiLexinetoncompared with the State of ICenjJicjy to pay
