well together, in their hits at ourseves.-The Incl
ligencer says, that tile "Edor of the Enanirer
seems to lose his se!fcontroi whenever lie sees the
name OF Mr.. Clay coupled IN any manner ,oit The
Presidency, and break silence lie must, in spite of
all his resolutions TO the contrary We do not find
fault with him for this because il is the effect of
morbid senstveness, which is excited i'm his bosom

Telegraph, on the other hand, gives scIool-boy
letter from ais "Richmond Correspondent" of tie
22d, who is silly enough to declare, that if Mr.
White succeeds in getting up his paper "the En-
qnrer's days numbered" Aud why, pray?-
because, "when the Wing came out against the
Proclamation, it lost the support of the grent body of
the Clay party, and Ohe Enqiirer) gained it," But
if MIR. White succeeds, comb is TO be cut ",rhe
Clay party will leave the Enquirer and (i will have
no support but the Van Buren, party, and few people
who take part in politics."-Now neither OF these
| organs is rght.-The Intelligencer is mistaken
but the Telegraph is f,lse.--We have won perhaps
not 20 CIuymeu to our liss-and are free to saw

friend to carry his flag in Virginia. instead of
miserable trimmer, Mr.. w. has our best wishes for

enough to be associated with the Telegraph as .oi0.
