MIR. ARNOLD.

Mr.. Arnold ''of the Peace party" fires his
leadless pocket pistol at US through the columns
Of the Intellgencer Really, we cannot fight
him in this way. 1t would be sin to assault a
dead man. That he is perfectly dead, witness
the meetings held in his district, condemning
his tameness during the present session. Some
OF the slanderous organs of the Clay party have
attempted to circulate fabrication stating that
these meetings were thinly attended-but it will
not suffice. 1t may crafty the head of the
Peace party" while in Washington, but when
he returns home there will be no alternative
but to bury himself eternally. We cannot at
tend to Mr.. Arnold. He will please excuse us.
There is nothing to be gained by repeling his
puny assaults. We only wish he would make
another frothy, furious speech against the Adj
nnstration. If it equals his former one in
rchness-we allude to the pathetic part, where
he describes the cruel treatment he received
from Mr. Daw son-we will help to give il cir.
