 Not eO MT Ilmee. Ihe Enquirer never useo the word "sposh." nor "sposhy." "sposhed," nor splus!"-,hongh they are words very expressive of tue kind of " travelling" succeeding heavy fall Of enow in warm weather on unfrozen ground-just such kind of weather as Li,chfeid county experienced, politics a.ide on the first Monday of October. The word "sposhy" has to be become quite a catch. word with the lOcoiocos; aRd many of them doubt suppose it originated with us. The term that we did use the Times will find in its paper of the week eeedng the electon-tor it copied our article upon ".he causes of our deiea," nearly entire.

Attorney General Butler wil now have the opportunity, sgreeably to promise, of "dividing his las, crust" with him. We should think that hereafter the loco loco "ppe-layers would bold their peace against the whigs to this charge.
