L
Dean SR Permit me 10 offer my coincidence upon
| the occasion Of The denuncialion recently uttered
against y ur paper, in New York by Alexander
Ming, jr Tie great golr deaIcy, and his worthy CO
AUDITORS and instruments trust you will be able
to muster sufficient philosophy sustain you under
the awful event. and find consolation in the refec-
lion, that though there may be some who think II
will be trying 10 you to experience condemnati,n

yet the upright and rejecting portion of the commu-
nity--those who have something stake in the pre-

and order and those OF opposing interests and feel

communication, emanatng from thai source, as infn-
ely more discreditsbe, and more TO be deprecated.
| The character and motives Of the Miagites, are
becoming pretty generally understood, and duly APP
preciated These miserable men are most uncom-
foaby sensible that the only chance to satisfy their
unhallowed wishes, and maintain political posi-
lion, the surface consists in their ability
10 keep the waters in disturbed and agated state
hence their ceaseless efforts TO break down every
thing like systemic destroy the established nstitu
tons of the country, (religous as well civil and
bring about chaos, from which they hope to create
their own advancement and profit; but, thanks to
the virtue and intelligence Of the people Of our land
they are doomed TO encounter emphatic rebuke, and
thorough defeat. Their pernicious and poisonous
principles can never attain extensive, permanent
footing in this enlightened age and country. Messrs.
Ming, and Co.. must therefures consent to decline
into that state of insignifcance, rather detesta-
lion, to which the wickedness of their views, and
unscrupulousness of their conduct ought TO- and GER
tainly will, consign them.
The Globe of The 3Oh ult., about the seventh num-

has beamed its bright and virtuous influence upon
this benghted region, Gf we except an occasional
CLEAN, dimly percevable through the lurid rays Of
the Plttsfeld Sum- bazons forth, with much parade
and evident selfgrati6caton, the doings of the de-
nouncing aSsemblage and with its characteristic
honesty and candor affects TO consider the matter Of
vast importance, indicating change in public
sentiment in relation to the Madsonan, unpropiti-
Gus to that paper Mr.. Blair knew full well, that in
this, he was egregiously disappearing and that
the proceedings, upon which he places SO much
stress will find no favor with the great body of the
republican party, either in New York elsewhere.
He is fully cognzant Of the fact that the meeting in
question gotten up (possibly at his instance) by
the agrarian leader Of the flour mob for The purpose
of shor, and to give them an opportunity to spit
forth portion of that venom, with which they are
filled, almost TO bursting, against paper, whose

as well as they, equally abominale, and despair of
overthrowing and whose fast growing favor with
the public, is gall and NORWOOD TO himself The
effect of The paltry manGuvre in other parts Of the
country, corresponds with that produced by il here;
it will be worse to its authors than mere failure
it will convey to them in manner too plain to be
misunderstood the language of unqualified reproval
The Globe containing the denunciatory proceedings,
reached here last night, their influence may be in
ferred from the fact that five subscribers have
been to-day added TO your list

You their Names and the amount Of their subscrip-
tions-be it known too, that each and all of these
subscribers of the old republican party and faith
this is evidence ample of what public feeling is,
(here at east) when the simple question is present.

preva-it is an undeniabe and cheering truth, that
the people ale returning from their wanderings,
into which they have been temporarily drawn by
false teachers and getting back to the well based
and justly venerated platform Of ancient repub-
licanism. Verify, the days of the dsorgansers are
numbered
