not fail 10 effect their characters very in
jurously in the estimation of every honest
and honorable man, whose appreciation
alone they are ambitious of acquiring OF
preserving. Nor could the charges fail II
duly authenticated, to effect their present
interests and future prospects. To those
that concur in the opinion that character
present interest and future prospects, arc
objects deserving solicitudo and care, the
necessity of repeling charges, such as the
ones brought by the Advocate against us
will not appear as measures of doubtful
expediency. And if in repelling those
foul charges-charges of the darkest kind
brought in the most scurillous and ungen
tlemanly manner, we should use language
little horsh, it is expected that none will
think hard. Ifa things is stated that is
untrue, and it becomes our duty to contra
dict it, must we do 50 by saying that it is
a truth;-no, but by saying it is lie.
One of the editors appeals TO the "hon-
est" portion of the community, to bear him
out in his assertion thot the Planter first
attacked the Advocate. Now il is well
known to those who know any thing ofthis
affair at all, that that editor, to say the
least Of it, must have made a mistake, (oi
what kind, we leave the reader to Judge, }
and we pledge ourselves to show this to
the satisfaction of any candid man. We
have the first, and all the subsequent
numbers of the PlaRter-also the first No.
of the Advocate, published after the rep
resentative returned from jackson to at
tend to his editorial duties; the examine
ton Of which might have saved the editor
the trouble of making statement that is
false. We said, Sour (Amite) delegation
went for Henderson, a tederalist,' man
SO popular that he received 25 out of ll9
votes" "He," (editor Of the Piney Woods
Planter,) "charged US with having voted
for federalist for U. s. Senator; thus hav.
ing attacked the Advocate" says the edi-
tor of that print. Now, we would like to
know by what process of ratiocination the
erudite editor comes to this conclusion.-
We said our delegation went for Hender-
son, a federalist, ergo, we attacked the
Liberty Advocate. Beautiful logice
Does the "noted J. J. Graves" not re-
member that when making stump speech
last fall, we mean that one in which he
made promises that he did not redem--he
attacked the editors of the Planter in his
usual manner, Wig: by stating what was not
true. Did we call it an attack on the
Planter! We had as much cause to say
so as that logical gentleman had to say
that we attacked the Advocate, when
speaking Of the representative.

the steamer, Oronoko; from which we sx-

ION Saturday morning the "Oronoko'
Of Pittsburg, on her way from New Or

about one hundred miles above this place,
blowing all between the boiler and the
stern Of the boat literally into the river.
The deck was crowded with steerage pas
sengers, estimated at one hundred and fif-
ty, and but few are left surviving. She
was towed to this place by the Indepen-
dence on Saturday night, with about thr-
ty-five Of the wretched sufferers, some
dead, some lingering in the torrents Of
death, and few who will recover, on
board"
The number lost and scalded is ccmpu-

THE LAST EFFORT.
J. TOTHTLL.

The Advocate of last week tried to raise
little dust to hide itself in, and talked o.
tad-poles, dogs, cats, and skurks, in &
manner worthy of the "writer of the
piece" We like this little spunk some
times--it is good in its own place, but was
very unseasonably used. But the substi
tuition of redicule, defamation, and Sian
der, for the proof called for, and for truth
and reason, however pleasing it may be to
the Advocate, will not satisfy the people.
The last effort only made the matter
worse; many believed the Advocate had
some proof for the assertions made-could
bring some evidence to show that it was
not all fabrication. The principal wri-
ter, 1.-THE adjunct editor has heart that can
neither feel nor impart emotion; poor fell
low, he was born to be happy any where
excites our pity. The dilemma in which
he is now placed is one from which escape
is impossible. When called on to prove
what he has "GRAvEs-LY" stated. How
does he reply9 Not honestly, not candid
ly by saying he cannot, which is the fact.
No, he says he will not go to the trouble
lit would be too much trouble. Is this
fair9--is this honest? Why did he not
think of this at first? If the editor Of that
"Advocate of SANDER" as jackson cor
