COLONEL WEss COLONEL WEBs SrrLL.-Or friend,
Mr. Webb, (when he acts properly we always call
him Mr. Webb) has taken counsel Of his good sense
and gailantry and cheeruly taken back all the hard

Mrs. Eaton on Friday last. Hear him:

Setting aside the shallow device of answering cor
respondent, who is himself this is very fair, and
shows that friend has not lost all the sentiments
of humanity we taught him during the years of 1929,
80 81, and 80 while we conducted the "Courier and
Enquirer" The establishment of the Herald and the
Chronicle, two daily papers, with a tremendous
circulation and large cash advertising, and their
markabe success, cooled his ancient friendship to-
wards us, and stimulated him TO make fool of him
self by coming up behind us in Wall street and knock
ing us down with stick, instead Of an argument
(the latter the most eectual weapon) piece of bar
barsm of which he is now heartily ashamed-but he
has occasionally CLEAN of proper feeling as exhibit
ed above for which cheerfully give him credit and
that is more than the banks will do at this time.
Let him follow up this better, more moderate, moro
sensible course, and he may yet recall long lost
friendship and esteem The grace of God and our
prayers may help him wonderfully. He has lost aw-

But my friend, in making the apology for his harsh
language and illusions towards Mrs. Eaton, shoHld
not have gwen any reasons for il. When certain
Judge was appointed in London to the bench of ia
maca the celebrated Lord Mansfield gave him bit
Of advica-"my friend, when you deliver your deci-
sions, in your new capacity, never give reason"-
"Why, my Lord 2" because your decisions COM
ing from instinct will generally be ight-your rea-
sons coming from the intellect of which you are ra-
ther short land my friend Webb, short sf intel
lect and of Morris Canal stocks,) will always be
wrong" So il is with our friend Webb. His
apology to Mrs. Eaton is right--his reasons
wrong If there "was no foundation for the
ISLANDERS" against Mrs. Eaton-f "the crusade
against her. was cruel, unauthorized, and most su-
premely ridiculous" as Mr.. Webb now says, and as
always have said, then how could it be question
of honor for the Secretaries their wives to prescribe
her? II was cruel persecution in them and the SEN
tments that acuated General Jackson were the mo
proper and the most humane. Again, by no sort OF
logic can gallantry towards beautiful woman, be
called fawning sycophancy," either in Mr. Van Blu
rem or in any one else We fearessly appeal to Mr..
Webb's own heart against his own writings. General
Jackson did not designate what particular lady Secre-
tary should visit another lady Secretary-he merely
wished all the ladies and gentlemen Of his cabinet to
live on terms of common friendship and propriety $
and if the odd hero" had confined his Experiments
to the ladies of Washington, instead of extending
them to the currency, he would have left Office with
more eclat than he has done. Meddling with beau-
full women or interesting petticoats is not near SO dan
gerous as meddling with the currency of nation OF
Morris Canal stock. No man can be injured by med
ding with lovely woman in a proper way.
Inc real ruin ~ tllls-flIS Eaton was the pretty
but high spirited daughter of poor man, suddenly
advanced into the highest society, the heads

upon her former rank of life with contempt. Empty
pride and foolish pretension could not brook this rise
Hence the attempt to backen her character and tc
transform point of empty pride into point of high
morals. Mr.. Webb knows this as well as l do, ano
in making the apology, he should never have gver
his reasons. However, for what he has done, W,
