AURORA MALIGNITY.

The inveterate hatred and malignity
which the Editor of the Aurora bears to
Mr.. DALLAS, know no bounds. In his
paper of yesterday, he obviously Sc teebly
endeavors to produce an impression that
the Secretary is not exclusively the author
OF the Exposition of the Causes * Char
acter of the late War" Now it so hap
pens that the writer of this paragraph,
having eopied the 4" Exposition" as fast as
each page was finished by Mr.. Dallas, Of
ten before the page was half finished,
kno7vs that it was the sole, and exclusive,
and entire production of that eminent
statesman. Let no base caumniator,
therefore, attempt to rob ability and mo-
rit, CT any portion of the praises due to it.
