the conduct OF Henry Eckford, Esq connected with
the National Advocate: BY NJ NJ. Noah" The amount d
the statement is, that Mr.. Noah who has been editor OF
that paper for seven Years, has been defraoed by Mr.
Eckfod and by very insdious and unworthy MEANS
rights as editor and proprietor and has cnmpeed
abandon the management Of the paper Assuming this
statement true, there is no doubt tina, MIR Noah has
been very scandalosly and unfairly treated and that Mr.
Eckfords conduct deserves the condemnation of every ho
nest man.
There is one reflection. however, 10 be derived from
the whole affair, which Mr. Noah appears to have over
looked He has got into bad company, among whom is
evident, from his own statement, that Faith and honor are
but empty sounds, and he could reasonably calcula
upon any other treatment than he has received Mr. Noah
has been for year two past the organ of the Crawford
faction in New York and he has certainly served their
views very faithfully for editor has ever manifested
more utter disregard Of principle, and thorough
contempt for the rights and feelings of his fellow citizens
than he has done during that period than he does in
tins very pamphlet, when he tells in page lie Sup-
pressed my feelings amtl sa1v The Legislature ajourn and
his eafi-that is, the stat was su7I from s
o0r enemies The pec by the refusal the legislature of
New York, to grant them the right they had loudly de-
nanded OF participating in the election of President And
we lind Mr. Noah in this same pamphlet, still canting about
dnordcy and the denocrac party, and many other phrases
OF the same purpor, which he without appearing TO
know the meaning Of or probably without attaching any
meaning to them.
If such is the course Mr. NOAH was obred 10 nurs,,e
by the New York Crawford faction, it very evident we
say again. that he had no reason to expect fair homo
rabe treatment at their hands, when interest or caprice
lshoud prompt them 10 abandon HIM We have good
OPINION OF HIM, to suppose that he would voluntarily pr
sue the he has done; we think well of his talents and
disposition, which understand amabe and
and, IN Short we fes little doubt that the task of suppcr-
ling Mr. Crawford has been imposed upon him against his
better Judgment, that he is getting tired of it, and that he
now beginning 10 experience the consequences of con-
lnectlng himself with bad men and bad cause. Though
Mr. Noah still holds out show of attachment 10 Mr. Craw.
ford there no doubt, if may believe HIMSELF that his
feelings and principles will shortly prompt him to abandon
la sinking cause. Read his description of the Craw
ford faction in New York, and doubt what Mr.
Noah means to do very shortly.
There is small select party in this city, who
having peculiar views of their own not only at
tempt to control the political affairs of the city,
the state and the union, but are ndnsriousIy en-
lployeG in managing the whole moneyed operations

ture, and attempt to and control that body

they are anxious to control the delegates from This
city to Albany and Washington, and wish to place
themselves in an attitude which will enable them to
say 10 the next administration of the general gov
eminent, " we are the Influential men of the demo-
cratic party ;-on all questions relating to city and
state afiaifs-to contracts, appointments, and ma.
uonal measures, we are the persons 10 whom ap-
plicaton must be made" Ii is needless to add that
the administration may never expect to hear the
true state OF the case, of the fair claims of any
man not devoted to their views. They are an in-
trlguing, managing, overreaching, shaving junta,
whose support is ruinous, and whose opposition is
empty and unavang. To project the community
against such men, press is indspensably necessary
and no man understands them better than | do, or

although protesting to be wholly dsinterested.''
