We perfectly understand respected brother Of
the Herald We are familiar with all the signs
which prelude political MISUNDERSTANDING old
friends with faint praise, the discovery of reconde
virtues in former adversares, the aectation of
feet lmparality, the cant Of moderation, the assup
tion OF excessive candor. Our brother is free man
and has right to turn a summersett every day in
the week. He Is also a clever fellow and no doubt
knows his own reasons tor the change. Let US not
be thought capable of the presumption of prescribing

we wish to guard a cause dear to us amoet as our
country itself Our brother of Norfolk, we respect,
fully suggest, Is not qualified by his ability, to play
the Walsh of VIrgInia-and we boldly affirm. that
his general irankness Of disposition wholly units him
for the Jesuitcal task His gallantry we are sure,
will promptly respond to the appeal ito show his
coors and upon remonstrancc, disdain the profit of
longer seeming what no is not.
We trust that we shall not be thought to bayo
overstepped he bounds Of courtesy or the limits of
sair play. ';e have heretofore felt pride in combat
ing, side by side, with the Norfolk Herald, and now
feel more regret at the meandcrngs Of late course
than apprehension at the prospect of meeting it in
