But the bitter wrath Of the editor towards
US was easily accounted for when we read
his crinsing reply TO the Louisville Journal,
not daring 10 answer that paper as he should
have done, and supposing Us "softer snap,
he vents his pent-up spleen upon the YazoO

in our paper in a manner which we dare not
do to his face, We assure the editor Of the
IntelIigencer he has mistaken Us, we would
have no fears 10 express what We have said

we have used with respect 10 him or his
paper. Henceforth we shall not trouble our
readers with any further notice Of the In>

politically, aOc bear the editor no malice,
but could meet him upon the broad platform
OF friendship that We have heretofore done,
feeling confident that we have done him no
personal injury; but il he feels himself per.

Look out for Fraud.

Examine we'll your Tickets before you
depOsite your votes in the ballOt.box. We
see by the MississiPpian, TIA. there will be
foul play before the election is over. The
names Of the democratic nominees will no
doubt be printed on Tickets headed "Demo.
cratic Wing" and Republican Whig," to
gull the unsuspecting portion of the Wing
party, and every kind Of trickery and fraud
will be practised. Again we say, Examine
nell your Tickets, see that the names Of
your candidates and these alone are upon
them, otherwise your vote will be cast out
and lost; and remember that vote lost to
US is vote gained TO our opponents. Be
careful then TO examine your tickets for
yourselves, let no one else do it for you.

second series of questions, mostly agricultural,
which propose to answer through your journal,
which mode | trust will be acceptable to Mr.. Sc
cretary WALKER. From what can learn, the ma
nufacturers are not much disposed to give answers
10 his first circular. They say that he has already
proclaimed that his mind is made up that the pro-
tective principle must be abandoned. OF course
his object is no. the obtaining information in order
10 make up fair opinion, but the hope of obtain
ing evidence against themselves in favor OF his pre-
determined sentence of condemnation The second
circular seems to be of appeal to the farming
interest, which he probably hopes to find packed

Mr.. Witcher, on the part of the COM

the subject, which was, agreed to. -
After some debating, the House de-
termined to take up the resolutions -
and the amendments which had been
previously offered being withdrawn,
the resolution as it came from the Sc
nate was before the House which is
as follows:

lay than may be necessary for the accomplish
ment Of that object, BY the constituted author
