SATURDAY MORNING, NU1:UST 4. 1870.
TO The EDITORS OF rnE VINO.

ALBEMARLE, July 25th
Gentlemen; If it were not at the same time q
source or sorrow aud humiliation for the additional
evidenccsof the dcpravty of poor human nature, it
would really be amusing, to reasona bic and observ-
ing man, to mark the political and editorial course
Your contemporary of the Enquirer. AS a specimen
OF his time serving consistency, send the following
extract from his paper OF February l2th, 1929. ast
year, mind which doubt you will insert for the
amusement of your readers.
Gan yon compare It with his present servilc support
% the rcwardcrs and purchasers of the press upon
an enlarged and magnificent scale, without n smile
at contempt for the who has no more respect for
himself or his readers Aye! without feeling of in
dgnant scorn for the creature who thus degrade
the species to which he belongs. Yours, &c.
IOOKER-ON.
From The Richmond Enquirer IF fcd. ~, 1928.
"'The publication OF the Laws of Congress which
had been conferred on the Editor OF the Louisiana
Courier, since the year 1906, under the ADM
nistrations of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe has
bs'n withdrawn from that paper by the Secretary Of
State because it had independence enough to support
Geh. Jackson,-and it has been transferred TO the
organ of the administration in that city. II such
things done in the green tree, what will not be
done IN the dry?-If such measures are practised by
the administration during its first term of service
what principles and acts may not be expected from
Mr.. Adams, should he be firmly fixed in the saddle
for another four years. This question is pregnant
with the most serious consequences"
