JNo. II. PLEAsAsTs, Sec'ry-


We mentioned the fact, the other day,
that we had received from Philadelphia
the printed Circular nf CHANDLER PRIcE,
Esq. and others, inviting us to assist them
in their political operations. These Cir =,
culars. it appears, have been widely circu-
lated. One of them was addressed a
mOng others, To JONATHAN RoRFRTs, Of
Montgomery County, Pensovl, ania--well
known to our readers as having seen many
years of trying service, fr-t AS Represen-
tative, then az Senator, in Congress, and
more recently as Representative in the
Legislature of his native Stdte. He is
,lain farmer, who with his own hands ills
his own lands, but man of strong mind,
who reads much, and wiplds the pen, when
We uses it, with the force of fail. He
has IansWered the Circular, in courteous
terms indeed, hut with great point, and
with so much strength as TO sheW that the
gentlemen who own the Circular are quite
overmatched. As zoe mean to keep out
Of this trap-if we can, and at any rate as
long as we can, we shall not copy the An
swer, as we did not publish the Circular.
We announce the fact merely OF the exist
ence of these papers Those of our rea-
defs who have any curiosity, will 90 doubt
he able to lay their hands on Mr.. RS Let
ter IN some other paper. We would pub.
hsh both the Circular and Mr.. RS Let
ter, if we had not ourselves some Obec-
tions to both papers, and if we did not
know that, by publishing them, we should
Law ourselves under the necessity ofgiying
up our columns, at this early day, almost
exclusively to discussion of the next
| Presidential Election, thus giving il con-
sequence it by no means deserves. We
| should be sorry to believe that, in the ISSUE
of the Presidential Election next ensuing
or of any election behind it, any very I'M
poltant principle ofour Government is en-
dangered. Ii is CONGRESS-, aud mol
