SIR In your last paper, notice that YOU
are pleased to renew again, IN attack originally
put forth by one of your correspondents mpli-
eating, in some particulars the integrity of tho
Lincoln Telegraph.
You remark
If it is the wish of the Telegraph to hold

has been complete weathcrcock from his nfan-
cy. protesting as it does to be a Wing journal
we ca only say, the World is wide enough for US
both land that paper is welcome to all it may
gain in thus doing"
Now sir, Inever doubted but that the world
was "wide enough for both of us'-and must
confess that it appears to me, that old Lincoln
alone, may afford US ample accommodations, in
our prese mt dimensions. But this is not the diff
fculty, so far as am concerned. The charge as
originally insinuated the substance of which you
have 80 generously renewed on your own account
was wholly and unqualifedly false-not a YES
tge of truth or common sense to sustain it. II
is obvious that such charge should not have
been published but with the strongest evidence
of jts truth.
But sir, if you have observed the articles in de-
fence and in explanation of my course, you must
be aware, that | have entirely disclaimed, and
proved incorrect, any such intentions as as your
correspondent attributed; = and yet you renew the
same charges, without even attempting to disprove
my positions, and leave your readers to infer that
| my course is against the party. Surely, i'll have
no reason to complain at such treatment must
onfess that my ideas of the fitness of things, 10
quite different from the generality of people.
| am aware, sir, that too much has already
| been written upon this unpleasant subject. 1t
was a controversy, that duty to myself and just
regard for political honesty, alone prompted me
| to engage in. And as have in my previous
ticles amply cleared myself from every charge
or insn uation, and as feel assured that my wing
friends and patrons. will duly appreciate these
motives, feel, under these circumstances, that
have done my duty. and not called upon to
make any further reply until what have writ,
ten. is properly answered. 1t therefore remains
with you to say whether this strange persecution
so view it-towards the Telegraph shall be
continued.
Relying upon your courtesy, and sense ofjns-
tice i have thought that should not be asking
too much. in requesting that this letter, might DO

you should continue the attack.

Ing lace SO falr. OF beauty rare
Becomes hideous phiz, and old!
Dnged, wrinkled is the skin that once
Nor blemish knew, nor faint,
Yet still she seeks to show fair cheeks.
Sc fills the seams with paint!
The fight of Time! IT'S an old theme,
And told in many nobler lay,
And it were vain to tell again
The oft-told tale of every day,
but men FORGET, and little heed
This glorious gift Of God,
And ere they're wrought the half they
ought
Life shuts,-they seek the sod
Another year The lapsing stream
That bore dead nations to their graves.
And whelmed their pride beneath its tide
OF facton-tossed and stormy waves,
Still bears COLUMBIA buoyantly
Its vista dim along,
beacon light on Europe's night,
High theme Of patriot song
The traveller roaming all the earth
Than ours no happier people finds,
Though rough our coast we still can boast
We hold free laws and freer minds.
Our seas are white with thronging sails
Our lands with dwellings dense,
The grateful soil repays our toll
With health and competence
ct OIL our bright escutcheon stands
A dark and widely fostering scar.
While on the red mans fated head
We pour exterminatlng war!
Oh neer may curse Of civil strife
In righteous judgment laid,
Repay the thought that fendike sought
The ghastly BLooD-HoUND's aid
There is a spirit in The land,
Most fearful to the patriots view,
A spirit dire that fans fire
Consuming all that's good and true,
And little freedom knoweth he
Entangled in its tolls,
For all its votaries must "toe
The mark" or lose "the spoils!"
We hope better day when none
Shall work tor "spon"-a ,cateh.bait
thrown,
But all for right with honest might,
Nor WING nor LOCO Foco known!
Twill be no sarcasm then to style
Ourselves as democratic,
Wen all grow fat and true in that
MILLENNIUM PeLITIc!
The moon bath not her circuit run
Since storms were out upon the wave,
And many wall rose on the gale
Ofthose that found watery grave.
TO prayer To prayer! The loved and lost
Make glad these hearths no more,
STILL still praise God beneath the rod,
And tremblc, and adore
One noment,--and our song shall cease
Our heartfelt New YEARs wishes told
We wish you health,-we may not wealth,
Since cares are ever gained with gold,-
Contentment through life's little day,
Peace. and mind at ease,
And firm hope given of rest in heayen,-
What need we more than these?
And since THE PRESS works tireless on
Oh! while you seek for outward good,
We pray you yet do not forget
To feed THE MIND with MENTAL food
Enrich THE UNIVERSAL MAN
And thus may often here
y HAPPY NEW YEAR meet your view,
