A shameful, nay, an infamous trick has been played,—not, we
trust, by the Liberals,—in the canvass for Deal, Sandwich, and IValmer. One of the Conservative candidates, Mr. H. Worms, is, it seems, of Jewish race, and, as the Standard says, a Jew also by religion, consequently the following placard has been stuck about the town :-
"1. Who crucified our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ ?—The Jew.
"2. Who continuos to deny Him ?—The Jew.
"3. Who declared Him to be a blasphemer 7—The Jew.
"4. Who will destroy our common Christianity ?—The Jew.
"5. Who would deceive his father and sell his birthright ?—Tho Jew. "G. Who will worm' itself to the surface, and have its pound of flesh ?—The Jew.
"We are Christians. Take our Lord's saying, 'Be wise as serpents,' and deny the Jew."
We hope to see the Liberals, Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen and Mr. Brassey, indignantly denying all knowledge of this brutal and blasphemous electioneering dodge. It looks more like the malig- nity of a Recordite, than the vulgar cunning of even the most unworthy Liberal.
