From the Aierandria Phenix of Monday.
Gsn. Jackson 10 reported to have said, on ono
occasion, s.that the sanderer is worse than tho rs

agree with him fully--cntircly. There 10 no crime
in our estimation, damniug and detestabe as the
nssrder Of character. The wretch who dsibe rate

deserves the scorn, tho deep settled scorn, and
contempt of the world. 1t is for him that wbip

We confess that we feel on this subject. As long
as fair, an open, honorable warfare is carried
on against our friends of tho lntcilgencer-we are
proud nf calling them friends-we arc content
that they should fight their own battles They arc
the hardest blow that may be given--to return

and regulations asssiled by hirelings, we are
prompted by every impulse of nature to ste for

they should be thus assailed? Let the question be
asked OF and answered by the honest and intelIi-
gent of all parties. and what will be the reply?
That they have always maintained the characters
OF estimable citizens-of benevolent, generous
men. That their course, Editors of a public
journal, has been at all times dignifisd and manly
That their paper is distngpisked for the ability
with which it is conducted, and for its urbanity
and courtesy. That, in all the relations of life,
they have supported that 'good nainer without
