shepherd boy slew the giant of Gath, though cased
in armor, Admitting therefore, the proprety OF
submitting 10 our readers the Arguments on both
sides OF all great questions of public concern, we
deny that VIC have, as conductors of n public
journal given cause Of offence either 10 our
" readers or Subscribers. A word of explanation
VIII set this matter right.
Anxious asks why we 50 seldom publish the
speeches opposed TO the doctrines ofthe Presidents
proclamation Aasuer--Wc have published no
speech, IN favor of, or opposed to those doctrines
except that Of Mr.. Wilkins OF Penn. When we
copied that, the debate in the Senate had Just com
menccd, and expecting that it would be confined to
two or thee of the leading members of the Senate
on each side, We designed publishing the whole of
il. But when we afterwards saw tho cxten, to
which the discussion was likely 10 be prolonged,
and the utter npossihuly OF performing our first
intention, we cut II short determining to waitun

champions Of either SIDE, whose speeches we pre-
suned would embrace all of interest tina, could DO

those speeches reach us, shall as VIC have here
iofore promised, publish them entire and we
think it probable that shall also insert those Of
Mr. Tyler and Mr.. Hvcs the Senator'S from, this
State.-In relation to speeches by the way our uni
form rule Is 10 publish as many on one side OF a
question as upon the other AMI we would observe

not publish the opinions Of the great aud disln-
gu'shcd mea who advocates OF the rights OF the
States a-iasocr--We have Scieetcd no essays, ON
either side ofthe question; and such an enquiry
might, therefore, be ad lrcsscl to with us much
propriety All fore, by oiG Of our political friends
as by an 1iversary. 1t will be time enough to ask
Us this question when W. have shown u disposition
to act unfairly. But, il it bs said that we have
published more " communications AGAINST NULL
ication and secession than in favor of them we re
ply, that ii is because more have been offered us
for publication ON that side than ON the other Ger

though very much obliged to his friends for their
