The UnsI. W. :, mntOr,s Ia..

political capital out Of the Onslow Case, and
! are resorting to all sorts of lies to accomplish
their object. Some unprincipled fellows are
writing letters from Raleigh. to the locofoco
papers in the State. giving false coloring TO
the incidents attending the examination ofth
political felony. Among the reports circula-
ted is one that Mr.. Ennett's 'sCounsel were
not permitted 70 defend him. To say that
this is as vile falsehood as any uttered by
the Polktes during the late campaign, is Civ
ing it a character of blackness no darker than
/ it deserves.
The above we clip from an editorial in
the last Raleigh "Indepepdent.' We notice
1t for two reasons: first. to shew our read
ers the beautiful, chaste, courteous and
gentlen'anty style in which the organ Of
the Federal party which claims for itself
sail the deeency," is in the habit ofspeak-
ing and writing about its fellow citizens
who have the audacity TO differ with it
I in opinion. We had hoped better things
from the stayed and sober editor OF the ..ln.
dependent. Blu, in the second place, and
principally do we notice il because he quotes
part OF sentence which occurs in an ex-
tract OF letter which appeared in the
"Journal' of the 9Th ult., that "Mr. En-
nets Counsel were not permitted 10 defend
him." This, the Editor of the "lndepen.
dent, in the most courteous manner, SAYS,
IS false. Now, although that extract was
placed In the columns of the ..Journal'
during our absence. and without our knowl-
edge, still we hurI back the charge of false
hood made by the independent against
our correspondent. NE reilerate, Mr.. En-
netls "Copnsel were not permitted TO de-

Henry, and then ask himself the question.
