sTDThe recent triumph of Polk in
the Country has in many places even
at the north been the occasion of merry
making among the locofocos; and their
rejoicings have given vent, in the firing
of cannon, bonires, sc. sc. We know
ofbut one instance in history that furnish
es parallel to this, and that is in the
case of the Emperor Nero, who RECALLED

dancing courters, while the Imperial City

Honorable Business. We had hoped
when the election was over, that our
neigbbor of The Mercury, or, as some say
Picra, would make some attempts, to
soy the least at decercy. But our hopes,
not of the most sanguine character, we
confess, are doomed to DISAPPOINTMENT.
Last summer, during the election, he
commenced the business, even then, in
the height of political excitement, grave'y
dishonorable, of publishing private letters,
the possession of which he obtained in a
manner known to such people, and that
work he evinces a determination to
pursue by giving publicity to a private
note written by }. B. Dan(or;h, Jr. of
Barnard, to an intimate friend OF his
at Woodstock. 1t is of no sort of con-
sequence, so far as the publishing Of the
note is concerned, how the editor of the
Mercury came in possession of 1t, whc;h-
er it was accidentally dropped, by the
person to whom it was written, or whether,
as is undoubtedly the case the note itscl.r,
or copy was stolen from him. 1t was
private note-it was not intended for
the editor Of the Mcrcury-it was not his
property-he had, as an honorable man,
no business with it, whatever, except to
have returned it, if he had the note itself,
to its proper owner, or if a copy, to have
refused its publication. II he had known
anything, or cared anything for the ac-
knowledged laws which govern all honor
able men, in such cases, he would have
done so.
This is all that is necessary for us to
say on the subject. The note is Of no
consideration, in and of itself, and its ap.
pearance in the Mercury,is only addition
al evidence of The innate meanness. and
total disregard Of the laws and customs
which govern honorable adversares which
tie real editor of the Mercury, one
"Thomas E. Powers"-we never heard
the ostensible editor accused of attempt
ing to write an advertisement-exhibl
on all occasions, public and private.
For Mr. Danforih, it is sufficient to say,
to place his character in the strongest
possible contrast to that ofthe editor of
the Mercury, that he has had for weeks,
in his possession private letter, found
in the street, and handed to him, written
by Joseph Bowman Of Montpelier, to So
len Danforth in Barnard, containing pri.
vate advice and directions to him in rela-
ton to the Barnard contested seat, so
much talked about, any public use Of
which he would scorn to make.
The editor ofihe Mercury can pursue
his attacks upon Mr. Danforth in his Pc
culiar way, but we can tell him, ifhe is
not now aware Of it, that, as TO the matter
Of publishing whatever private notes
