Friday Morning, AuEust IS, 1857.

The political lawyers who conduct the De
mocrat, having undertaken to enlighten the
public in regard to the editorial department Of
| this paper, the proprietor deems II proper To
state that their assertions last week are wholly
false. One person and only one, and he EN-
pIoyed for the purpose and paid for the service,
has furnished all the matter which has appear
ed for the last six months as editorial, with the
exception of one or two unimportant articles,
not political All other original matter has APP
peared invariably in the form of communica-
tions--and il is rule to which always intend
strictly to adhere, to require a responsible name
to accompany all articles Of any Importance,
and especially on controverted subjects, offered
for insertion in this paper. IL was no longer
ago than last week that threw aside COM
munication not thus vouched for, and repeated
the notice of the rule alluded 10.
As to the matter which appears in the Phe-
nix, | would further state, that | alone am re-
sponsiblc for it--whether in the shape OF selec-
tons, communications or editorial, reserving TO
myself the right claimed by all publishers of
holding contributors responsible to any person
who may feel agrieved. No other person has
any control oUer The columns Of This paper, and
il has frequently happened that have entirely
omitted articles prepared for the editorial col
unln, and in other cases part, as thought
would be most proper and agreeable TO my rea-
ders would however remark that | do NOT
feel myself al liberty 10 refuse the publication
Of any ieeH tcriitea communication, aceoDlpan-
led by a responsible name, ind on subject Of
general interest.
In regard to the article signed "Bigelow,' in
the Phoenix of the 18th inst. would say that
Mr.. Holbrook's statement is correct so far as
my knowledge extends. He took no measures
To influence its insertion, aud know not why
il would not have appeared had he been out Of
the way. II was furnished by a responsible
and highly respectable gentleman, and being
moreover on a subject Of great importance to
the freemen Of this county, could not in ac-
cprdance with my rule above stated have re-
fused its insertion. Had done so, must have
forever abandoned all claim 10 publishing an
independent paper, open for the discussion Of
topics Of general interest.

held IL 10 be rashness IN any mortal man 10
try an experiment upon so great an euH He
desired TO indulge in no opprobious retro
spect He only asked that while men stood
up and endeavored TO find out new systems,
they would bear in mind the predictions Of
those who, from the first of those acts Of
which we complained, told them that Just
such would arise. and that in the end we
should find ourselves where we now did
find ourselves. He said that in general af-
fairs we could not always trace effects up to
their causes The first departure was I'M
fortunate. Congress voted to continue The
Banks: the Executive power negatived that
act, or, he should say bill, for it was never
made a law. The Bank was suffered to
expire. And here again he impugncd no
motive The Secretary said he could con-
duct the finances without the bank. He
wanted no National Bank for the purposes
of the Treasury. Then, gentlemen, said
Mr. W., lam of the opinion that the proceed
ing OF the Secretary was not consistent with
the rights of the community. The truth Of
the prediction which said that a renewal Of
the Bank would give as good and probably
a better currency than ever, is 10 my mind
perfectly apparent
Mr. w. remarked that he had heard thro'
the newspapers much said Of some new pro-
ject--some Bank TO be called the Treasury
Bank He desired TO say, that against any
such, by whomsoever proposed, he should
vote. He should never stir an inch, but
would raise his voice against it forever III
they will give us The Bank that George
Washington procured, said MIR W. here is
my hand for III or il they will give us the
Bank that James Madison approved, here
is my hand for that; but if they seek to take
advantage of the present emergency of the |
country, to impose upon us an Executive
Bank, God forbid that should do any thing
but oppose it to the last extremity shall I
oppose il, because there is noihing-there /
IAN be nothing in our circumstances that (

1--WE had almost forgotten to ask Mr. phn.
NIX not to tell any more lies about our slavery
and anti-slavery principles. His object is Main.
he wants few more votes next September
and IS willing to tell any thing but the truth To-
we charge lawyer Bradley with approving
the conduct of Senator Palmer in his vote on
Tie Missouri question. We charge him with
advocating the doctrine of the flee admission oe
new slave States on every application. And
we charge him with approving and advocating
the sentiments of Mr. Van Buren, on the slave
~ question as promulgated in his inaugural
address. There is no inducement for telling
hes, when the truth answers every purnoss
and makes our opponents appear bad enouob IN
all conscience.
