Every attentive reader of the Enquirer can decide
tor himself how actly its Editors follow it's own
maxins-lt was no doubt intended to bring into
contempt contemporary paper-but blindness
and prejudice admit that the course of the En-
qulreris most admirably delineated and shall that
paper be permitted with Inpunity to ieer and derde
the friends and pretensions of JONI G.. CALHOUN?
1t is true General JACKSON has not only, 1cithout
but against proof charged Mr. CALHOUN with .sdu
phcIty." That MIR. SHE'LL IN his toast has attribu-
ted Intrigue, Talent, Tact" 10 Mr.. VAN buren,
and Mr. RfTcHE insiuuates that Mr.. SHELL had
as well perhaps have accompanied his hit at Mr..
VAN BUREN's ''Intrigue" with the proof Let the
proof of Mr.. CALHoUN's "duplicty" be produced;
and that of Mr.. VAN BUREv's ''Intripucs shall moi
lag far behind" Has Mr.. RrTcHrE required proof
of MIR. CALHoUN's ''dupIcity7" Or is MIR. RrrcHtE
the advocate and guardian of Mr.. VAN BUREv's

suPporters-and thrown himself into the arms Of
his former revilers.
Who believes that Mr.. RITcBiE for tho sake Of
Principle would, If circumstanced as General
