We perceive oy the Telegraph, that the n,
York Evening Pos, "a paper with whics
no, exchange) has INDUCED in some "ns,;
remarks" upon an article Of ours, on III. :
scriptive policy Of the Government IT,.
tinent remarks" appear TO US to con,i,, oe ~
ing else than sweeping and general d,tr..
all the acts Of the present AGmiu,su,,i,n
rather coarse eensure on those who on,.
them. When facts such as we 2rcseuea -,
consideration Of the people are souph, f.,
conIroyeited, counter facts should be ,,,,..
The frs, will stand good, in spite Of decI,,,'
and intema crate language.
The Pos, asks, seemingly in ,rium,b;t
stated, the "hands are iied-and m, M,
muzzIed, and public opinion lrowned H..
lenee," how happens it that we Gsre to ,,.,,
we do against those who hold the ,.;,, -,

sta ed, the press a'on. vas free, ,bouoS 'N
part Of that haabeen subsidized? Ar,.
the Post think, even lfrhcy we're ten ,io.,n.
'yranical 'ian they are, they would dream -.
invading, N Ell arms, 'h- houses Of orr ,i,i,..
or 'ncarcerat' editors who speak Of Them ;,
they deserve? Perhaps the viii i, COOL,
'ae times are nos yet ripe.
Blu: as TO our assertion, It's corre,, i,

holding an Office unde, the goyerpmer,

homes opinions, with The same freedom tia, ,
granted TO those who support il? Wber. i,n,

the elections which are going on, or are 10 c,u,
and vote openly anc freely sgans, The "Dou,,

out, and we will submit No! there is no en-,
person., The iron hand Of power would urt,
him to the earth, were he to turn agaius, bis
mas.ers-the bread would be taken from nj,
mouth, and his wife and little ones turned IN.
on The world to endure the SCOTS and gbe, q
the cold hear'ed, and malignart. II lhisis rc
open and undisguised tyranny, we do moi kno,
that 1t can be found in the palace Of he Sur,,.
or the nails Of the Sa,rap of Persia.
The Post objects to the manner in which d.
Presiden, is treated ia some Of the newspaper.

and lis coadJu'ors. Has he Pos, forgotten II.
rancourous abuse heaped upon Mr., AJ,ng
head-'he incessant attacks, during his wso.

a'e venerable father, and the diseracei.l M,
graph which ran the rounds, advertising hin
As runaway! IF all this, and much NOR h.
'een forgotten, we recommend reference d

ny 'hen, TO all The rules Of political w,r(,r
we would be justified in using the ue,,o,,ol
our opponents, and turning their own art, =.
sainst them. But we scorn to do 50. Ash,
