serve, that the excitement which he has
reference to, as existing in King street in
favor of ssco youns men, has, for its
cause and origin not emily the well found
ec confidence, as respects their ability
to perform the duties Of their office of
the merchants of King street, as well as
of many oft the lower end OF town, but the
respect and esteem Of all those who are
acquainted with them, for their indepen.
dence of principle and undertaking integ,
rity. AS to the necessity of making new
iasSs by way of amending old ones, no
good grounds of argument to support
such an act of Legislative authority, can
be adduced, as far as connected With the
inspectors that the dealers in flour wish
their old inspectors, is t,ne, but not with
the motives ard intentions it is sincerely
hoped, that sctuated the minds and pro.
duced pecuniary benefits to some OF our
citizens about twenty or thirty years since,
whereby Monsieur suffered, without
having even the solitary consolation OF
knowing he did sc fairly. AS to certain
Practices; and enforcing the IaqD to which
H. alludes let him look back to the pe>

Practices. and as to enforcing the law
with regard to the inspection of -four, it
can be well attested TO, and confirmed by
the merchants of King.street, and also
by the candid and unbiased dealers IN
that article living on the wharf, that il
has universally and vigorously been en-.

CONNEXIONS, or interested p1otiUea, should
never induce an honest man to swerve
from that due line of propriety which
ought TO govern his actions. The cha

II The editors OF the Intelligencer will
refer to 10 their paper of w ednesday last
they will find reason for the reoues,
contained in the Gazette of Thursday -
An article on the subject of the levy
court which appeared in the Gazette oil
Tuesday last, was copied into the Intelli.
gencer OF w edDesday, and credit given
TO the Herald. ffthey had merely copi-
ed the article, and given no credit, We
should not have noticedit
Gazette ofyesterday.
We have no disposi,ion to censure our
lynx-eyed neighbor ofthe Gazette for his
misdemeanors, as he has done the edi
tors of the National Intelligencer--nor
have we the least desire to lay claim to
his very "fun,inous" and profound dis
serta;ion on so fruitful subjec, as the
levy court-for which the Intelligencer
has SO monstrously offended him by Civ
ing US "credit" for simple account of
/
the proceedings ofthat court. But, real.
ly, the complaint, if there could be the
rcmotest ground for its business, comes
with very i'll grace from the Gazette.
How often, may we be allowed to ask,
did that paper give "credit" 10 the In
telligencer for the proceedings of con.
gress, during the last session We have,
besides, 1though we should never have
thought the fact worthy of observation but
Tor the present circumstance more than
once known the 4ntellisencerto "credi,"
the Gazette with our articles. And
we have, not only had our articles credi-
ted to the Gazeue-but, have, several
times, seen them, after having actually
gone the rounds of other papers, copied
into that paper (once under its editorial
head) without giving US, or any one else,
"credit."
Our Objects, as good ,iafu,ed person
would do, to endeavor to console our
neighbor, notwithstanding his loss of the
"credit" for this precious composition.
by showing that he is not solitary in his
grievance.

people, having passed the House of Rep
resentatives of that state, nearly unani.
mousy. has been sent to the Senate,
where il is now under discussion. Mr..
Noah, editor ofthe Advocate, vehemen,-
ly opposes the passage ofthis bill. This
is certainly very strange. Pray are noe
the people Of that state capable of taking
care OF themselves? If a majority, no
matter whether small or great, are in IA.
vor OF any one candidate. have they not a
right tn express their senliments--apd
should not their voice be heard? Let
the PEOPLE choose whom they think
proper and let Mr.. Noah. and all 9th
ers, acquiesce as becomes all men, in the
will OF the majority. This we conceive.
at least. to be Republican doctrine, and
what Republicans have always suenu.
ously contended for. For our part, we
have no ulterior views-we wish the peo-
pie might choose the President, and la
ment that any provision was ever made
by the Constitution, giving thr choice of
President to the House Of Representa-
tives The sooner this preposterous
feature is expunged, the better.
