in any way suffer it silently to fost ta in
situations of yesterday, to thiow upon our shoulder
the onus of its own egotisiical bunders-blunders so
stupid, if not malignant. Without inquiry, without
search -on the simple assertion of interested, if not
accused party, uncorroiorated by circumstances, and
unvouched by Witnesses the sound judgment of the
sensible Picayune suffers itself be carried away
by selfimportance TO indulge in the following gross
language to the chief magistrate of municipality
and the police who under his authority:
" Does Recorder Baldwin know that most outrage
bearing his signature? Is lie that for the last
day or two strong feeling of Indignation has been
ced among body of respectable citizens, speaking
foreign language? citizens whose friendship is well
worm secunting but whose enmty may be dangerous!
Such is the tone Of threat and intimidation used by
the F'cayune, f'rsooth! to the Recorder and upon
such grounds we have adverted to above. IL is a
most disgr0ccfA AFFAIR." adds this very competent |
censor of public and public acts yet mark its alb
ject manner, and words. when its oicious medling is
rebuked, when its gross ignorance is exposed.
Weare now, says the Picayune of yesterday, we'll
satisfied by the facts forth to by these official
gentlemen, as well in the atdavits of respectable
citizens and in other documents that the statements
made to us on Wednesday night (which partially
promised TO publish,) incorrect The warrant UNI

ton 'whig.' Since when has this journal
paid such Difference to our opinion TO take this
one word from US n sufficient warranty for
threa enng the recorder, abusing his officers, and
charging the police with an Outrageous robbery! =
Yet such is the sum, and substance, of the argu.
ment by which it attempts to back out of its pre-
cious hombast. These are its words:
The complainant, who related the circumsta nces
| to us, occupies toleraby prominent position be-
fore the public, and had been mentioned with
connacnd1tion, not more than n month since, by
an editor IN this city upon whose judgment, speci-
ing local matters we have been accustomed to
place some reliance.
Suffice it to say, that we have been wofully mis-.
led by one of our neighboring prnts-that we
have been deceived in many things respecting the
person who gave US the informa,ion-,nd that
in the affair in question, the Police officers have
been basely sandered.
In tlocal matters it is natural that we should
have much knowledge, since we have experience
but we have TOO much judgment to commend m en-
we do not know, or some that do. The Pis
cayune can find no approval, from US, of the party
concerned, beyond simple statement that in his
political bias he was "a staunch whig.' viii
any one believe that the self important Picnyune
was influenced, TO credit the individuals statement
and.crlmina'o the police, by this assertion of ours
J No! its organ of self esteem is too prominent
and.too constantly visible get belief for so UGH
modesty, or such becoming Difference to ano,her's
opinion. When the Pcayune is again compelled
to back out from its husty assertions, hope il
will adopt a more honorable means.
