lnthe communication of"A Wig" in
to-days paper, in allusion to an editorial
article in oar paper Of the 10Th inst,
relative to Judge Allen, the writer has
INDUCED his fondncss for sarcasm, BY a
manifest misrepresentation Of our Ian
guage. and 4 most barciGccd rerver>ion of
our meaning. We can account for this
wilful misconstruction, upon the ground
only, that his newborn zeal for a po-
litical juggler, has rendered him unfit
to survey calmly the ground which he
occupies, and is too ready to take UNI
bragg at any ~unIayorable expression of
sentiment against his ner ally and taror-
ife. We deny that we have ever taken
upon ourselves the responsibility to
state, for the wings, either ''advised!y"
CT otherwise, any thing in relation 10
this matter. We barely stated l., so for as
the Wings are concerned, what We con-
scientiously believed, and what we had
a right TO express. But let US refer to
the sentence to which our too sensitive
whig friend has taken umbrage:
1--WE do net hesitate to say, for We
speak advisedly, that the Judge will not
get ten Democratic votes in the county,:
and we consider lis chance equally bad
with the Wings
Look again, AIr. Wing, and try not in
future TO 'kick before you are spurred.'
Do we say that we are speaking for the
Wings? Is it not rather that " we con-
slider" his chance with the wings a bad
one. But with amusing gravity you
ask-whence did we receive Il advice
as TO the course Of the Wigs. Can any
sensible construction of our remark lead
TO the inference that SO far as the wings
are concerned, we spoke "Gtrissfiy''?
Is not the word "adcisedly'' used with
sole reference to the Democratic voters?
1t Is. And we repeat, SO far as the
Democracy Of the county are concern
ed, that "Horse Allen" will not proba-
bly, get over ten votes in the county.
Nor will their opposition be the result
Of any undue influence, as is insultinglv
insinuated in the article under notice.
No ukasc has gone forth. The Democra-
cy of this county need no dj'cfatiou oflca-
ders, to give them a hatred for duplicilv.
or contempt for a political demagogue.
But whence arises this sudden zeal Of.
"a Wing" in defence of one protesting
TO be a Democrat? What motive has he
IN thus stepping out from his own ranks
IN defence Of one who but a few months
back was regarded with all the haired off
party bitterness. If Judge Allen DO a
Democrat, and is really undeserving of.
our structures, he will certainly be ralh-
er offended than pleased at this intrusive
defender Of his character. We freely
acknowledge that our views as to the
merits of the Judge, have undergone 4
change. We agree with him upon many
OF the leading questions of State policy.
Before his appearance in this place, we
only knew him as tie advocate of those
measures which, from time TO time, we
have expressed a preference. So far as
these measures were concerned, we
were with him. But when we heard
him indirectly hold out a bride for wing
influence, under the promise of a fair
proportion of the '~'loaves a fishes" our
course was determined. When we heard
him in one sentence extol the whig can
dldate for the Presidency, at the expense
of one of the most prominent members of
the party TO which he himself processes
to belong, we could but conclude that he
was playing a gaze beneath the dignity
Of an aspirant to the highest honor with
in the gift ofthe freemen of Missouri.
One word to "a Wing" in concIn-
sion. Go on, sir, if it suits you. A
few more such productions as the one
we have just been reviewing, will, in all
probability, render you as proverbial for
misrepresentation, as your distinguished
is, for political summersets.
