Taking the confession Of the editor Of the

being the principal in the mutilation Of the
table of prices published in our late mum.
Der, into an accessory after the fact-a par
ticeps criminis. The Morning News from
which it was copied, has already gained an
unenviable notoriety IN this particular de.
partment of labor. Its magazine of falsehood
seems to be inexhaustible. Had it been es.
tablished for the express purpose Of vitiat
ing the public press it could not have more
thoroughly accomplished its purpose. than
it has. 1t has lost caste with it's own party;
the Plebeian even. whose editor will never
endure martyrdom to preserve his rigid
morality cannot square up to its brazen.

ster for the sole object Of showing up the
fallacy Of these reiterated ISLANDERS upon the
Tariff, which it most triumphantly does.
We leave the subject. OF all the positions
so boldly taken in his attack upon this car
dinal Wing measure he has rallied to sus-
tain this one. With what success 9th ers
may judge. We desire no personal contro-
versy with the Gazette or its editor-the
original article out of which this rejoinder
grows, exhibited either deliberate fraud or
inexcusable ignorance. If we were severe
on it we were not unjustly so. 1t is full
time that these distorted facts and pervert.

buke of truth. 1t has not been our fault if
it has not been administered, and hereafter
if the editor perseveres 10 sending out the

"Not all tho waters in the rough rude sea,
Can wash tho balm from an anointed

Such would seem the impression of the
Sage of the Hermitage. The last protocol
on the Texas question bears date Aug. 2sth
and was most unquestionaLiy written by the
Gen. himself. After attempting to fix the
succession upon Mr. Van Buren, on the Sub
Treasury Scheme and mounting Col. Polk
astride of the Annexation hobby, with the
same result in both cases he may we'll con.

The Convention at Boston, Septem.
Der 10Th, was an assemblage worthy Of
the vicinity Of Faneuiel Hall and Bun
ker Hill. Addresses were made by
Hon. Daniel Webster. Hon. ]. NJ.
Berrien, Cassius M. Clay. and other
distinguished gentlemen. Delegations
from States far and near, were present;
the Green Mountain Boys came rolling
down like an avalanche. The noble
Wings of Maine, overcome but not
subdued, were there in thronging mum
hers. New York, destined to be on the
fourth Of November the Yorktown Of
Loco Focoism, turned out her young
men in masses to heighten their alrea'
DIV fervid zeal a. the sight of the veneer
able affairs of revolutionary sacrifice.
Over one hundred thousand are es
tima,ed to have been upon the Com
mon. The day was most proPi.ious
and the display Of arches, banners and
other emblema,ic insignia, formed
most splendid pageant.

The tWhig Mass Meeting I'm
JacksOmviIie.>

The Wing gathering a, Jacksonville
Illinois. on Thursday last, was rous'
er. On Wednesday evening some o
the delegations from a distance arrived
and the Cour: House was crowded.
The meeting on that occasion, at which
Dr. A. SMITH presided, was addressed
by Messrs SINGLETON and PARSONS in
most able manner. The latter gen.
tleman has very recently renowned
Loco Focoism and come out from the
Polk and Texas party. He gave his
reasons for joining the Wing party,
by stating that he had always been a
democra. and had remained in the so.
called modern democratic party. until
ne was convinced that they had really
forsaken the old landmarks and were
governed by far different principles
than those laid down by Jefferson and
Madison. He gave striking illustra.
lions Of these departures from the true
faith, and showed that the Wings were
contending for the same measures tina,
were advocated by the founders Of the
Constitution. He said that there were
hundreds in the so.called democratic
party who, like himself, had long
grieved over the departures of their
leaders from democratic principles, but
who chung with such tenacity to the
almost idolized, but much abused name
Of their party. and who had so much
repugnance at being chargeable with
change. even in appearance-recoiling
at the certain odium and publicity that
their action would bring upon them
by their loco foco associates that they
felt unprepared, at present, to break
away from them and join the Wings as
ne had done. During the evening the
Hancock County Glee Club. graii6ed
the audience by singing, in first rate
style, several appropriate songs.
On Thursday morning the Delega.
