SIGNS, Sc. &c.
we are somewhat in arrears 10 the National In
telIigencer-but recently heavy drafts have been
made on columns for other and more valuable
purposes We shall pay our respects to them
hereafter at our leisure. IL is the less necessary
to be precip'ate in lashing its transg be-
cause they have already drawn down unon the
heads OF i,s Editors heavy burst of the pubIic
indignation. That the patriotism of these Editors
should have re.led upon their pnrses--That they
should have hung back, and Iefraiped from de
nouncing the Opposition till the Election had gone
against tbem-snd then, that they should hare con
jured up Cducuses which never existed, schemes
of ambition which were never INDUCED, is phe-
nomenon which as'onishes every one who has
hitherto remarked the discretion and tmidity of
Messrs. G. & 5. We could never have supposed
that they could have been guilty OF the ariant
folly (not TO speak of the impropriety) of con
meeting their private grief- with the Public cause
The attemp, has never ucceeded; s it never will
succeed.
We eeby the following article from the las,
Albany Argus, that this influential paper is abou,
taking the In,elligencer in hand. If i, does not
anticipate US, we shall probably go on TO show the
gross injustice Of which Messrs. G. and s. have
been guilty, in misrepresenting the course of Mr.
Van Buren,:
" Circumstances have prevented us hitherto
from noticing the exhibitions OF ll.dissuised spleen
by the Editors OF The National Inteig encer TO
wards Mr.. Van Buren,. We are not sure that any
corr ec'ion Of their perversons and insinuations is
now required at our hands: for so far as the peo-
PIE think and feel upon this question, they will
discover in good time, il they have not done 80
already that these fabricaons as 10 the barter and
sale of the votes of this state the alleged con-
veyance, for personal considerations of our politi-

vivsl of older tales, often told and as often ex
ploded; and that where they fail to carry with
them their own reiuta,ion. time soon aprlies the
corrective. We sllude 20 then, now chiefly for

his views in relation 20 the administration mich,
