body had done otherwisef But the mis-
representation is too notorious here 10 re-
quire any attempt at refutation. This reck-
less and impudent assertion would not
have been made before the election. This
false "Free Trader" meanly endeavors to
deprive those, whom he calls the Calhoun
men, of any participation in the triumph of
the Democratic party. But this we well
know, the body of Mr.. Van Buren's friends
mere, will spurn the mean and ungener-
Gus misrepresentation of the Natchez ed
tor. They do not participate in his idle
aspersions, nor sympathize with his il-ad-
vised calumnies.
1t is 10 be regretted that at this time,
when warm and excited rivalry as to who
shall be the nominee of their national
convention, is endangering the harmony Of
the Democratic party, that there should be
those found endeavoring to foment divis.
ions, and enbit;er contest, already going
on with too much acrimony, by throwing
into the ranks firebran!s of falsehood and
misrepresentation, silly and malignan! as
those we have quoted above. We have
already taken too much notice of this re-
mark; much more than it deserved. We
only did so because we wished to prevent
persons being deceived by the representa-
tions of an individual, who perhaps after
all, sins more from ignorance than any
thing else; and TO show our Van Buren,
friends that we did not look on this silly
editor as uttering their sentiments.

Nearly all persons manifest an inclina-

ticular talents TO the world. Some selec,
one mode for this, and some another, &C.
cording to the individual taste of the per.
sons. Some choose the very intellectual
modern employment of hoaxIng. This
is sometimes harmless, and sometimes mol
according TO the particular direction given
to it. The practice is however generally
more silly than malicious. 1t is usually
indicative Of a little mind, and in the
scale OF intellectually ranks very low
But Of oil employments, whether moral OF
mental, the invention and circulation Of
malicious SANDERS is the lowest, the mean
est, and most cowardly. A person who
would be guilty of it would not rob or
murder on the highway, but in the dark
they would Doubtless assussinate and
steal. We make this rem rk in connec-
ton with the report concerning Ex-Gover-
nor King of Rhode Island, of which we
took some notice last week. The article
below from the Providence Journal de-
clares the report fabrication.

AN INFAMOUS ISLANDER.

The Boston Times publishes a paragraph
headed, in lis most conspicuous type, " Ex-
Governor Samuel Ward King in prison!''
and saying that Gov. King is now in pris-
on charged with felony. 1t is difficult 10
conceive of the depravity which can resort
to such Infamous modes of carry ing on a
political contest. It cannot be necessary
for us to say that there is not one word OF
truth in the statement. We learn that this
most infamous SANDER has been printed
in handbilIs, and circulated in Massachu.
setIs. The men who have perpetrated it
doubtless imagine that it will circulate in
many places which the contradiction will
never reach. We leave them TO all Inc
which they can find in the
qualification of their malignity. --Prori.

TO THE DEMOCRATS OF MADI.
SON COUNTY.

1t is perhaps not improper TO call your
attention to the fact, that the Democratic
Convention which met on the 22d of last
February, recommended the holding OF
another Convention on the 9th Of January
next; and that in pursuance OF that rec
ommendation, several counties have held
meetings for the purpose of appointing
delegates to attend at that time. A number
of Democrats from different parts OF the
county have spoken 10 US on the subject,
and have suggested the Sd Monday of De.
cember, being the 18th of this month, as a
suitable day for holding our meeting. 1t
will be sale day, and an opportunity will be
afforded for larger attendance than per-
haps any day during the month 1t is
high time that the meeting should be held,
and if the day mentioned meets the con-
currence of The members of the party gen
orally, the time will be considered as fixed.
We hope that as many of the party will
attend as possible, in order that the action
of the meeting may express the sentiments
Of the party in this county. The greater
number in attendance, the greater moral
force is given to the principles they pro.
nudge: We therefore call upon you, one
and all, TO be in attendance, at the court
house in Canton, on Monday, the 18th day
of December, if you shall think that day
one suitable for the purposes of the meet

HE BROKERS MOVEMENT IN WALL STREET.-A
correspondent accuses us of injustice to the pro-
posed new Board of Brokers, in stating, by way of
contrast, that they are, or have been lame ducks
while the old Board are represented as the very
pinks OF purity. He says that six or seven members
of the old Board taking the benefit of the act
and that dozen owe differences not yet settled
for.
Ii this be SO, there is about six of one and half
dozen OF the other. What we look upon with an
eye of favor is the organization of new Board
to transact their business with open doors. We are
informed that this Board will comprise some thirty
persons-that they have engaged room in the Ex-
change-and that they ask no further confidence
than their honorable acts will warrant. In fact,
they rub all the past out-and begin again on clean
slate, with clear conscience, in clean linen-and a
pair Of clean white kid gloves.
Very well-go ahead on sound principles and
clean linen and fin time you will acquire the conf
dence of the pubc-the respect Of honest men-and

cannot tell how much good luck you may have.
