well understands, "the political juggle,' &C. Is

SETS out 10 rebuko Mr. b. for presenting himself
as a candidate for reelection, and IS IN great fears
lest "tho sacsrdoidi rssimeRis Of parSon who

your columns to say to Wing give yourself no
uncaslncss upon That subject for although you
have thrown as much filth at Ma BnIlcg rs You are
able TO do. yet none Of it reaches HIM; his char
acler aud standing are too we'll appreciated by
the democracy Of Lowndes to be injured by such
production as tina, over the signature OF Wing
This Wing seems to think II Objectionable that
Mr. Il. should be preacher 1t tins wing knew
the fact, that Mr. u. receives no pay ior hts cleri-
cal services, nor never did and have yet to
believe that such 'Parson should be prescribed
This redoubtable Wing next assumes that the
democratic purity have an important secret" that
in order TO amend ITS fortunes in the county OF
I.ownde4. it has been resolved that an election
must be had: :" that Mr. b. must resign his seat,
&c; the resignation to be kept profound secret
from all except the file leaders, &c. and Iha the
people were to be taken by surprise, and only be
informed by the Sherlf's notice. These wings
claim all the decency and smartness IN vogue;
and here is striking illustration Of the extreme
smartness Of this Wing that four days alter
Mr. BIS resignation Appeared IN the Democrat
that he should have the sharp sightedness TO makel
this great discovery. Now had our smart Wing
made this grand discovery six weeks ago, we
might have given HIM some credit for his acumen;
Out as it is we may say liza, at aas Iscovered "..@
city of London, for which am willing to give
hin all due credit. The truth of the matter is,
hat plain sailing, simple, matter of fact trans

Wing Feds, and as soon as any plain occurrence

presume, as matter Of course, that there must

hat all "the tools Of the party" have been
chooled in concave.
will Say 10 Mr. Wing there has been no |
rick in this matter, unless you make plan, SIM

NJ is trick that your party never practise, hence
our unfounded charge of "the most fragrant

Had you any shame would appeal to It; but
when peruso your ranting illusions, that fear,
would be irutless. 'Whig' next charges asains,
Mr. b. that ho is n stakeholder and director in
. darling bank" and at the same timo informs
u that Mr. b. had resigned his seat as director,
vet seems to doubt the sincerity Of 1t, and says
that Mr. Il. must satisfy the people Of his sinccri
" and concludes with another evidence Of his
llstrusl, in real whig oder that nothing can be
lone unless is by trick and after taxing every
spectre and hobgobn that ever beset the rankest
federal wing, he comes to that, which IS neces-
sary conclusion to every wing, that Mr. BIS whole
conduct in this mater is the fruit of deceli and
Listen to him "the natural infer
encc is, that you intend to hold on 10 your dIrec-
tprship the resi- milton of il IS only temporary
and that YOU intend TO resume IL as soon as you
hare accomplished your object To say the
least of this, it Is most liberal and unfair but
when we look to the source our astonlsment is at
an end the fountain being muddy, we cannot
expect pure water. If this gentleman Wing IS
desirous Of knowing whether or not MIR BIS re
signailon be pretended or real, lie; him ask the
other directors, three at least of whom are ,chieS
and certainly no may believe them if he viii dc
that, he will lind that Mr. BIS resignation is no
leigned but real. wing says Mr. B. was devot

Mr.. Il. voted against chauering any more banks
