The I" Political Arena" is periec In Welcome to con.

abuse, lit so plsases, Of our political course. We
have been used TO this specie. OF warfare for more than
20 years.-Commcncing The Editorial career at a very
early age, we could scarcely help wincing under such
attacks at hrst-but use has recpneilsd us to The repe-
tton, and 1t must be confessed, That wa have had a
much experience upon his subject az most men. l

other under our very beard, whose interest or inciina.

Wehsve been the more SUPP lied at the course Of
the Eitor OF fne p. Arena, because we understand tina,

would ask OF him, is common u 'tics. On one or two
occasions OF late, he has quoted some of. our hits up
on others win expressions OF indignation and ii pust.
He did not no'ice that they were only ju,t r E tor 9
