| him, that the Telegraph has opened the Poh'icai
campaign ,cifh skill and ardow-there is spirit
and talent in its columns" "But will it last?''
says MIR. Noah. GIVE ask this question, be-
cause we should regret an early campaign
thus vigorously commenced, if it was to cool
off at a moment when the last decisive blow
was to be struck" Mr.. Green assures his
friend that he is well supplied with facts and
arguments for three years war. But mo-
ney is the sinew Of war, and we can inform Mr..
Noah, that the Members Of Congress who
bought the Gazette and established the 1eie-
graph, are not very .fush They have already
given evidences of it, and must soon give more.
Neither MIR. Green nor Mr. Meehan shipped for
supply Of facts and arguments; nor will the orr
ginal proprietor, the workmen, or the paper
maker, be long contented with that species OF
supply. Hence Mr. Noah may rely upon it that
all will "coo Off before "the last decisive blow
be struck" if not before the commencement OF
the next session of Congress. Mr.. Green ac-
knowledges that his friends enquiry rs natural,
and that ait has been made in more quarters
than one" We admire his candor, and vouch
for his yeracity for once in his life.
