WEDNESDAY MORNING.. JAN. is. 1850:


tancy. Some pains taken by friendly presses,
TO elout and bandage the Judges ban,ling but in
vain. We read the two frat Nos. with great men
fal eSer'ion and some contemporary forcbly says
from SO sense Of professional duty'-but We could
get no farther. The essays were too heavy and in
ecgant TO- this day and have circulate ed in only one
or two presses ut the South.
This may be the reason why the Judge complains
Of the extraordinary circulation of McDu6ie's Re
port. The gentleman may feel little pquc, that his
own unlocked progeny should die obscurely, when the
splendid offspring of McDutfics genius adorned the
pages of thousand presses, and scared the acca
susions ofa whole nation II may be the reason.
why the Judge. upon anonymous authority, has stoop-
cd to the littleness of attempting strip McDufie
Of the fame conferred by the authorship Of that Re-
port.
4 likely notion truly that McDufie was unequal
TO what Lnngdon Cheves, or Mr.. Bddle or Mr.. Ing
ereol, able they arc could accomplish either sing
ly or united!
But, (says Judge Cluyton,) ''this much ue do knop:
hundred thousand copies of the Bank Report have
been published at tie enpen.e of the Bank has been
republished all the papers In the u. S. friendly to
that Institution"
To the irst part Of this Notwithstanding the
100000 copies by the Bank-we have nothing to say:
euly should like to know, how if it be true, the
Judge could knou it2
To the other branch of the assertion, we have
word to say McDnf6e's report WAS published, we
believe universally, by the papers friendly to the
Bank What them Docs this justify the insinua-
ton evidently intended, that therefore, those papers
were paid for publishing it, The Report was pub
iished also by the papers opposed the Bank! What
does the wise Georgian infer from thar Our CO.
temporary published it-so did the Telegraph-were
they too paid for it by the Bank? The Judge
isccrtainy piqued and mortified, at the still born fate
Of his brst-else could he draw such loose and
illogical deductions. The truth is this-McDufie'
report embraced subject aecting every part Of the
u. Saies-attentioR had been reused by the Presi
dents messugethe report ITSELF was of trznscepdant
ability-and therefore, was il universally published
Csnkered must be the mind, and obque the vision
that viii not see the force of these facts but prefers
TO throw the shade Of suspicion whole class of
fellow citizens.
Ever prompt with his insnuations, an ingenious
neghbor of ours seizes the opportunity of Caytons
remark, to repeat former insnuation. He savs,-
III the hand of the Bank be in this thing there
ere al least strong rks of it in certain newspaper
articles" Which articles an which newspapers,-
We invite the candid editor out with his sn.
cfcaions, that the assaied may make their defence
and the innocent know that they are not Attacked
Did he not publish McDufies Report Has he the
assurance to iuer the corruption of others, from the
thing which he did HIMSELF Or does be me an to adj
nit, that he too was brbed by the Bank of the U.
States, TO circulate that Report?
