D. We publish this morning the Cd No. of
Russell Jarvis's exposition of thu character
and conduct of Duff Green. We give place
10 these Essays, not because the object At
which they are aimed is Of personal consequence
enough To entitle him TO so much notice but,
because he has heretofore appeared before the
public, under a mask, rs it were-posses sing a
fictitious repute,ion-upIeld by the patronage
of a powerful party, of which he assumes to be
the leader-and arrogating to himself the
proud title OF the " official organ of the admin.
~isiration - the defender, If not the dictator Of its
measures. Many, very many honest and we'll
meaning individuals have been duped into a
belief that he is an upright and intelligent Edi-
tor-and that he espoused the cause Of Jackson
from principle, and not because he expected
TO reap a rich harvest if he should succeed.
Under his impression, they have greedily
swallowed his faIsehoods, ~caIumnies and SLAM
ders. and attributed the abuse of those who
kneiO hitn better than themselves solely 10 n
disposition TO crush him, and thereby destroy
one ofthe most efficient supporters of their
favorite candidate But happily for the char
acter of the press. as well as for the Gauge of
public justice, the delu,ion is rapidly passing
away, as the character ofthis senal upsrart is
portrayed in its true colors. Some of The
most jealous friends Of the administration are
anxious TO throw him off (perceiving how any
cause which numbers him among lis advoca,es
must be injured and TO see the task of defend
ing its measuers conided 10 a man whose
character is not one solid scab of infamy. and
whose mind can sometimes at least. aspire TO
more noble themes than PERSONAL inyectiye.
SO coarse as to merit no other appellstion than |
vulgar blsckguardism. II we are not deceived
in our anticipations, the mask will now be eff.
~fcctually stripped from the impudeat hypacrile. !
