The Looker-en" has read in Enquirer of the 10th the
communication of Jinsa to hose vulgar bngsga
style he cannot descend Their rendered to the
LookeroR," but he does wish to extend his &c
7udintae in that line lie shall certainly not ask their dis
closure.
Ihe Loober-on" feels mortified being dragged into
THIS controversy lie fears the indignation Of the Jun.
"a so Va""gy threatened He only fears the propriety
filling the respectable columns the enquirer with mat
ter 80 little TO be regarded by its editors or readers To
them he apologies for asking the publication Of The fol-
lowing Temarks and hopes that sedeTnes will be con-
sidered as n sufficient excuse.
Tile "LoOker-on" facts only The ynto in reue-
raj terms deny these facts The facts substantially true
The first fact stated by the LookeronD was that the
numbers at tue first meeting about 95 and at the "a
meeting about IS in favor Of Mr.. Adams. THIS statement
is correct and for the which the editors re referred
to Colonel Clarke, Major Crutchfed, william Cor
don Carter l. Stevenson, and Richard Johnson, Esqr;
who were in the room and have authorised the LOCKER
on to use their for fact and that about two
thirds OF these numbers only reeholders The
OerS wers several times counted Why did not the Jwts
tell the numbers!
The Loeker-on" stated that ajority Of the meeting
consisted OF fedsras aud the uaiprsal Yankee nation

committee are considered as fsdsroiisis. This committee
has put form address, which the modest editor Of the
Herald here, thought precious noTse that he fassd bis
readers with it, twice in succession in his paper; sndia
which not one word is said of rspuBliean principle, Of
mr. Adams That the YANKEES present. may be infer
redirom the fact that town is with them and
