GFI In the last number Of the Hawkeye the editor
gives ven, to ebittercd feelings long entertained a.
gairlst Gen. Van Antwerp, but which his presence
in the city, in the opinion of the editor, rendered 1t
prudent to keep to himself Weknow not when we
have seen baser attack upon any gentleman, or one
that betrayed a more depraved, cowardy heart. Had
,!se editor stated that Gen. Van Antwerp had just re-
moved from that place, the reader would have UNDER
stood the cause OF the appearance of such an article
and given it its due weight only, but he makes no
mention of this fact, willing to let the people believe
he had the courage so to speak while he was liable
to be in his presence. at any time The readers OF
the Hawkege Asve so frequently nsuch scurrilous
articles A. it, columns against the superiors ofits ed
tor that III bis attempts to sully the character OF
those sho offend him. that its fire and fury now pass
for idle VIVID, ard seldom merit notice. We think
tie editor need not have waited nE tie absence OF
the gentleman la attacks as we much doubt whether
he would be nov considered worthy Of such kick
rq as he has once received for the too free use OF
language of the char acter of that noticed.

the truth OF the charge made against Mr. Lowry In

ses they objected to the result as would appear from
the manner of defence set up by the Gazette. No
Democratic paper in the Territory ever intimated a

London, October 4, lS41 -
''Our friend Stevenson. just as the old wbig
ministry were going out, has had a running
hre with Lord Palmersion. His Lordship shot
his culver of Parlhian arrows as he retired, on
the affairs of the Caroline, and the search OF
our vessels on the coast of Africa. But he took
nothing by his motion, as Stevenson's replies
were, as understand from friend who read
them, most triumphant. When his Lordship's
letter is read, on the search of our vessels, in
