The editor of the State Journal and Flag, al Tus- caloosa, has made second effort reply to our re- monstrances against it's attempts to deprecate a large majority of the democrats of this State, for their Presidential preferences during the last canvas for the democratic nomination. la OUT opinion this effort Is loo pary for notice. Evidently fearful that the open indulgence Of these feelings on thls point may be dangerous pastime in this State, and yet unable to conceal them efectualy, he half denies our right to put any meaning upon his words, and half ustihes them; but seems be most deslrous to accuse the Register of marring the harmony of the party because gave him warning that he shall not strike or stab with inpunity. We repeat the warn- ing. IL remains with him to decide for the future, whether in the indulgence ofhis Nnimostes, he will continue the offence, with the certainty that he will be promptly opposed
 The trait about this last article, is the al tempt to cultivate prejudice against this paper, by saying that it has been anii-Texas in it's course.- This may succeed where the Register has not been read. But no man has read it's coluans without the perfect knowledge that there is not the shadow of cause for Inc inpuaton but that in every aspect whole and m part, in general and in' particular, as serted. implied or inferred, it Is a sheer frabrica ton. To what "reminiscences of the past, or wha calculations for he future, such attack is assign able. we shall not dscuss although we think W, have very clear under standing of it's motives an, l objects.
