| aware oi uiis iact, ana that not daring openly
to deny it, they are eDdeavoring to produce a
contrary impression by pitiiully evading every

We have never heard such report 1t is
with infinite reluctance that we touch upon

whole character of this rapcr--(a character

Adams"
The Virginian is filed with " modification
and regret" when il sees the editors of this
paper Z" associated, heart and hand, with Mr.
Noah IN the presidential. contest But what
species of morality is that which condemns
one man Tor entertaining the same opinions
with another What might we think of the
'irginian himself, when we see him associated
IN the same caase with Mr.. Walsh. s. Dwight
and the whole baud of federal editors?
" Disingenuousness and cautious timidity'' !:
Where are your proofs !? We have freely
and tearlessy declared our prediction for
w. II. Crawford-compared with the other
candidatcs-we have also confessed that there
were bnts upon his escuicheon; but there are
biots upon all Ofihem--and taking him all in all

support Orare we disingenuous Are we tim

ference of opiniSn into cause of hostility?
We have" shut the door rudely upon those
who wish freely 10 discuss the pSetensions of
the candidates for the Presidency" And can
any man have the eifrontery to make this al
legation, who pretends TO read the columns o f
this paper? When it has published more,
ana more violent, attacks against w. ii. e..
man against any other manor than any
other paper in the Union ? When we have
even been reproached by his friends for lend
ing ITS columns to his inveterate enemies p
We have admitted every attack that has
been made against him-except two or three
articles, that were full of the ,est trash or the
grossest personality.
Tile Enquirer claims no credit for its de-
fence OF the copstitution.-These weIe the
opinions OF ITS Editor from the first moment
he began TO think on politics. After having So
long supported such principles, why should
the Enquirer betray or forget them? TO
please man : To whom we owe no favors.
and from whom we expect nonr.-Nan:e any
other man,who more thoroughly agrees with us
IN these principles than w. II. C.-who is qua
lIhed by his abilities to WELD the Executive
powers, y has any chance To attain ihem-and
we will abandon the Gauss. ofMr Crawford for
his But where shall we find him Is il Mr..
Clay? lsit MI Calhoun Is Gen. Jackson
Is 1t Mr. Adams ? Is it, we repeat, Mr.. John
Z. Adams? Is it a politician, who sacrificed
the first principles of our government In the
pages of Publicola Is il he who supported
the cause ofthe federal Party TIL 1907? l. ii
he who turns your constitution into a nose of
waX-and thinks, that it is one thing to day,
and 1t Congress passes law, another thing to-

After all these differences Of opinion with
the VTSinian, there is one point at least ON
which we are pleased 10 see ih,t we Co
