We acknowledge Ourself to have been in fault in re-
atOn to the SterIingtOast. For upwards Of years
had been perfectly acquainted with the character
Ofthe Times, in its total restitution of principle, and
utter disregard for truth, and had placed the art
Gle, headed 18th July Salisbury among the many
other gross perversions of truth which weekly issue
from that PRESS we had escaped the severe rebukes
we have recently received from the editor and his
friend Sterling. Our excuse is that the article APP
peared to be the work OF a correspondent, and we
knew but there might be some truth in it but it
now appears that men OF truth and responsibility SCI
dom communicate their thoughts to the pub
lie through that paperthat its correspondents, like
its editors, hage no very strong claims upon the good
faith OF the public.
We never minated that any names were attached
to the tOasts published in the Times. We said that
but "one Jackson given at the table," and
that Mr.. Sterling its author. Had the Times
published the real toass given at that celebration we
should have ascribed the right one to MIR. 5. for in
stand condemned for suffering that infamous paper
lead us into an error.
We "were vexed that Mr.. s. openly avowed him
self for Jackson!" &c. This caps the climax with a
! witness. Why you "Giddy boy,"" we consider this
"openly avowng himself" the best actthe Honorable
gentleman did in his life The Jackson party in
this county composed of exactly the right kind
of materiais-rubbish that the people threw by two
years ago, and have thoughts of ever using again.
Think you have any objection that such men should
be for jackson! When they were for Adams some
three and six months ago, think you we were proud
| of their company? What, congratulate Oursef that
weather-cock will sometimes point the way we may
wish Why, man, it is the wind that causes this, not
the foresight of the vane. ''Vexed )" indeed!-he in
upon the stability of such man, has provided himself
with fund Of trouble which will end only with the
death of one ofthe parties.
The fact is, the editor is vexed" at having his
"Jackson celebration at Salisbury, composed Of l5O
respecahlrs," turn out have been noisy rabbe Of
Is 90, and his elegant toasts prove to have
been the aftcr-houghts OF some top heavy member OF
the ''new republican party and in his violent rage,
falls upon u.s. "tooth and nails, the author OF all
this exposure and disgrace. Well, fire away, Glide
| on; we acknowledge you have got fair game this
time but assure you that shalt not again lay ourset
open your censure by putting the least confidence
in any thing that you may say. One word ofadvice by
the way-don't let your attachment for the Hero and
certain Of his erndie supporters IN this county induce
you lay aside your classical and grammatical man.
ner of conveying your deas-the article the head
of this looks little suspicious The new party will
greatly need some finished schoars-some who can
| use proper words in proper places, and make them
gingle little after the fashion Of Murray. Take this
bit of advice in good part, pray you, for we even
like to see fasehoods, when they told, told well
