For the Radical.

MR. EDITOR: 1t may be either a.
musing or interesting to yourself and
readers, TO know that we had at Troy,
on the 1st inst, a discussion between
the lizards and 'Soits." MIR. Asa
East, appeared on the part of the for
'mer, j. Blackford Arthur, on the part
Of the Inter 1t may be proper here
to state that the discussion was pro-
voked by the latter or by Mr.. Arthur
himself, for ! think many Of Mr.. AS.
friends thought it out Of time, as l
heard some express themselves that
way. The gist of the discussion was
whether Col. Benton is deserving his
seat in the Senate of the United
States or not. Now must confess
was astonl.h he'd that such should be
the subject of disputarion. Col. Ben
ton is there; whata vails somuch 5trIfe
now? j. looks more like var upon
the democracy Of the State, 10 keep
open old wounds, than upon Col.
Benton, if men cannot rest IN the
party, We ask them 10 step out; the
public miad needs comPosure. let us
have a short respite especially upon
that score.
Mr- Arthur the enthusiastic de-
fender OF that party, | think in max
ing a tilt at Col. Benton, gave vent
TO a strain Of virtuperations that was
more suited toone wrilhing5n the ago
pies of spasmodlc tortrres, than a
sane man, the superlatives Of vindic-
tiveness and '.noisy savings, soon
evinced t. rs that he aimed at his
end more by the quantum of mind
and ear.tearing v~ociierations lt;an by
The loglcso! bis argument. OF potency

old Col. should feel Il little itching
or smar'ing, q can not a wLtre, lG

Mr.. A. concluded, after boring u,a
long time ty way OF reading extracts
and speaking.
Mr. East followed. He did not
leave a grease spot Of bis opponent,

The bold and fearless manter in
which Mr.. L st delivered himself,

they have gone already too far, but

into whose ear the secrets of the day
were conided, and with characteristic
boldness, in an honest burst of indigna-
ton, he gives vent TO his feelings, pro-
claiming that had connected
R. S. BLANNERHASSETT
with This ''nefarious business" The
honor Of disclosing to the wcrld so i'm
portant a discovery, will be J~ohnny's.
Il am a man of parts," chuckled he,-a
universal genius-and can direct the
helm ofthe journal" with such preci-
sion as will ere long lead me into an en-
viable notoriety. Thus he.soliloquized.
But his blissful a~niicipations were short
lived. A week had scarcely elapsed
after the publication of tho offensive ar
ticle when IA change came DER the spir-
it Of his DREAM" Intelligence from St.
Louis, cnvinced him for once, that his
Pegasus had soard too high-R. s. Blan-
nerhassett was not the man whose char
acter could be assailed with %impunity.
What shall l do, exclaimed the man OF
the JournalP They say Mr.. Blapner-
hassett is coming up 10 investigate the
matter. will publish a retracticn be-
fore his arrival" Accordingly, in the
mex number of his worthy sheet, he &C
knowledges that his conduct was i'm
prudent, improper, and not right" This
will fix the matter, thought he. But
another difficulty here presented itself.
What apology would he offer for his i'm
prudent counsel No one but a mar of
ingenuity could eve have hit upon a
better plan. Hear kind reader, his apol-
ogy. "hdisposition'!" 1t reminded
us nc little of the mischievous boy, who
after committing some offence, when the
switch was suspended over him, sobbed
out in extenuation OF his fault, mother!
l had the belly-ache.
When the editor ola public journal as
sumes the responsibility of heralding TO
the world the name of a prominent man
in connection with the gravest accusa-
ton, the public may reasonably infer
that he who makes the publication, is
sustained by sufficient evidence. But
in this case there is no justification. In
a note addressed to Mr.. Blannerhassett,
by the editor ofthe Journal, in which his
reasons for perpetrating this ~unhallowed
outrage upon private character, are set
forth he says that tie only testimony
which he had "worthy Of a moments at
tention," was the statement Of a gentle
man of this town, who was told by an
individual in Troy or some where else,
That MI. Treat OF 81. Louis, had "giren
the opinion" that Mr.. Blannerhassett was
guilty. And this opinion afforded good
grounds for branding with infamy a man
of unspotted fame.
But pray, why did not Mr.. Treat make
this publication. He too is an editor?
But we must conclude by recommend
lug our neighbOr to the sympathy of the
public. fully assured that he has placed
himself in a most ludicrous attitude.
