condescending! how generous: They are
in woful minority as far ss politics are con-
cerned, aud they are ,oilling to throw that
question aside! The same game is being
played by tho federal candidates in this coun-
ty. They are in u minority, and they plead
before the people that politics ought to have
nothing to do with it! But just let them get
elected, and what shout would ring from the
federal press over The WHIG victory! Out

spirit of fo,bearancs, confidence, aud charity,
which is iuheIen in our natures, but too often

love mankind is to love God, in whose image
man is made.
The Editor Of the Observer, a protesting
| christian, overlooking all these instructions of
his church, and injunctions Of his Maker, ac-
cused Us of originating aud publishing a false
hood. We told him that such was not tl,e
case, and that Wa had the proof of what we
said; and respectfully demanded that he
should re,ract orproduce the proof of his ac-
cusatipn. The burthen ofproof lay upon him,
not upon US. But this christian has as yet
failed to do Us justice, either by retracling or
bringing his proof.
He says we have blackguarded him. II

then we have blackguarded the editor of the

These contentious are to be regretted; as

speech Of Mr. Morehead, the whig senator
from Kentucky, to shew that the "Les i>ature''
had passed resolutions expressing their opin-

ed. The Fayetteville Observer says that Mr.
Murehead is reported in The InteIlisencer as
saying the " House Of Representatives OF
Kentucky, and not the Legislature" We
know nothing of what the Intellgenccr says,
but the Congressional Globe and the daily
Globe, report him as saying Legislature -
but the editor Of the daily GLOBE in giving his
"synopsis" Of Congressional proceedings,
says that Mr. Morehead said, that "Tn con-
fornity with the custom prevailing in many
! States of the Union, the House of Represen-
ta'ives of the Kentucky Legislature, had pas
sed, by large majority, resolutions Instruct
log their senators and requesting their repre-
seutatives in Congress to vote Tor repeal Of
the Bankrupt law"
