the author Of that foul production the
"FayettevilIiad" miserable, paltry, COW
ardly, skulking subterfuge and bombastic bravado.
If the base pen Of such man one so well known
so steeped in infamy--the vile sedhcer-the rene.
gdde-now a caniing preacher, thon a notorious
rake--the very personfcatlon of vice, hypocrisy
and crime, can affect US, or any one else, we will
indeed bewaii the state of the public mind and give
up ali further contest.
AS to the letter itself, we havo but little to say
The community in which we live can best Judge
Of the charges. The letter has cast bush Of
shame and regret upon the faces of his pakizans.
The Whig party, a minority OF whom are just
and chivalrous. must, and all whom we havy soen,
express ono sentiment of disgust and mortifation
at this exhibition made by the man; and regret
that their confidence and honors have ben so

thing that ever was seen in print, except the 'Tay
ettevilliad," the pc, offspring Of Arringsn,s
"metaphysical mind" the powers Of which! we
frankly admit is more than equalled by The feplt.
ing associations of his imagination.
No gentleman, we presume, would now settle
any difficulty with Arlington, according to be
code Of honor. We will, therefore, under suh
circumstances, refrain from all personalities viii

he may offer TO this community, by asking fs
theirs, husbands, brothers, and lovers to attend hf
speeches, or to endorse the character of so viii
lainous q seducer, by recording their votes in hi
favor. will We be tempted to stir up the beast tha
he may again poison the atmosphe o which vi
breathe.
Believing, that Arlington, could, at least, appre
ciate tho condescension of gentleman, and imi.
tate, somewhat, his course; we offered to conduc
our correspondence with him, upon gentlemanl,
principles. In this belief, we have Leen disap
pointed; hereafter, we shall act in reference te
him. as we please, and render satisfaction to hin
according to our hnmor.
Wo beg the indulgence of our readers, for in
Producing to their notice, and dwelling so long upol
this revolving subject.
