Whole packages destined for places in the interior have freouenlly been sold at Mobile, in lot without ,he knowledge of the owner, by the consignee there, and by that means deprving the owner Of larI oi packages of sound pods, and causing heavy losses to some one; hut for which, hereafter, the Mobile consignee will be held responsible.

position which they occupy. We can
only say this, which will cover all the
ground in this case, that il they have
thus insinuated against our political hon
esty, we hurl back the charge upon
them and say that in their foul ,hr oats
they have lied. In political as well as
private life; we will bear an honest and
irreproachable character, or none at all.
But we shall no, enter in q vindication Of
our motives until we know them assail-
ed. We proclaim our creed now as be-
fore, Democratic thoroughly. If Hard
or Soft means a stern ~urbending opposi-
ton to every thing that claims affinity
with whiggsry; if they mean a deadly
hostility imbibed in our youth and which
has ''grown with curgrow,h, s. strengt-
hened with our strength" to every prin-
tiple OF Federalism, then we are either
Hard or Soft; and in the language Of
Duncan, we pronounce any man who
dares to apply either of those epi'hets
to US without attaching the foregoing
meaning TO them, . reckless liar and
a base calumniator.
