Mr. Polk, his administration, and his iriends'-
an all events il is proper that our Leading DEMO
cra,i, friends in The South, and throughout Inc
Union should know who the instrument IS VINO
has been thus employed We ask The proud and
oilleI friends Of MIR Calhoun how long lhe
charleston Mercury will abuse their patience ny
such reckless measurements. or now long 'hey WIZ
sufIer the Mercury 10 abuse their confdence7 we
sav f,uher 10 the American people, how long will

We owe an apology, perhaps, TO MIR. Revcrdy
Johnson, for publishing his name in connexion
with 50 gross fabrication. We do mol suppose
him capable Of making so unfounded statement
Blu, if we were 10 mutila,e Cyril V. Grey COM

plain and perhaps OF attack; and il re ora mol
publish Mr. Johnson's name, why, Z. V. u.
