honorable man should discountenance and repudiate him. Being talented, he is the worse man for his crimes; because he does wrong in despite of better judgment. Being able and eloquent, he is the more dangerous; because his ability enables him to devise and execute far greater evils. To elevate such man, either socially politically, but enhances his means and opportunities of wrong doing. Are not those who aid in elevating such man responsible for the injury which they thus, enable and encour age him to infiet upon society," Are they not re- sponsible for the outrages on decency-the viola tions of social confdence-the ruin of domestic peace and honor, which it has been the business of his life to commit? In word, are they not parties to all his workers in his vices and amen- able, with him, to the penal laws of God and man? Let the honorable men-the moral men-the reli- gious men, of all parties put these questions to their own judgments, and their own conscences. If asked to vote for A. w. Arlington let them resent it as an insult. If about to cast a vote for him, let them withhold their hands from sacriegeous act Is there a man who has respect for his mother, wife, sister, or daughter, or who has any regard for the main- tenance of decency and morals in society, who can cast vote for such man, or in any way aid in his WI pdlty HuFS id1u Cldlill 10 dll the decency" in the country. Do they present their nomination of Arlington as evidence of it But further comment is unnecessary. We have al- ready allowed our feelings of indignation to carry our pen to greater lengths than we intended our only object being, the present occasion to write a few lines introductory to the 'short history,'' we promised last week. This history we now proceed to furnish.

 It will be observed that the following statement and certificates are of no recent date; having been made and published in 1883. Nor were they then published for any political purpose; but solely with the view of giving public warning against man who had violated the most sacred obligations of social and domestic ife-who had apostatized from the re- ligion he had impiousiy assumed to facilitate and cloak his crimes, and who had brought dishonor up- on the church, which had fostered, sustained and trusted him. Observe, too, that the statement and certificates are made by the leaders of the church where the crimes were committed and embody the confessions of the criminal himself This statement has, before this, been re-pubshed ill this State and its truth has never been denied or controyerted- Moreover the conduct of Arlington, in this city is well known to have been in keeping with his vi cious life in Missouri.
