deceived as to his capacity of making or unmahng
PRESIDENTS or his power of debating its policy To any
Administration, his vanity has not misled him upon
the point of his being held in awe by many of his
CONDUCTORS. How republican land he faniiarly
styles the republican party, partly those notions

what policy he pleased TO the Observation-Disclosures say
how republican these notions and consistent with the
daily profession of this Wellington OF the quill, we
need not remind our readers.

Developments making by Col Orne at Boston, atfcc-

While individually, we wish Gen. Green no harm,
we should esteem it public benefit, If the Admins
tration would transfer its patronage to some press
worthy of national favor, and that reflects more
honour upon the American Character. That mighty
tide of SANDER and caumny which has delugcd the
land for the last fou. years, cocva with the cs-
Enlistment of TIE Telegraph, aud We express the
results OF best and closest observation when W.
say, that the spirit Of deracton and personality,
which mas since pcrvaded the public PRESS was con
taGion emanating from that foul receptacle. That we
republish Jarviss letters, occnsoned by no person
al feelings towards Green, for we cannot entertain
them for such man-but from conviction that he
has been instrumental in lowering the standard of
POLITICAL morals, tina; his paper is nischieyous en-
CINE Of scandal, that It is unworthy of government
patronage, and from the hope that the exposures now
made will lead TO the selection of a more respect Die
official organ. The files of the Telegraph from its
institution, present the greatest of deadly SLAM
der that existednOt satyre, not irony, lam
paoning, any other legitimate weapon OF
vcrsy, but gross rancourUus, malignant abuse de-
traction and mcndacity. We arc happy to perceive
universal symptoms OF disgust at its most vindictive
and ruifan course, and growing dcterm Inalion
IN its own party, to shake OF the yoke Of is nloler-
