ate 7 Why this blind. uniutelligibe reference to
paragraph which woald occupy only halts dozen
lines? Aswe despair, however, Of getting the Elk
press to do it. we will publish the alluson which
so fearfully aroused its ire. Here it is from the
Evening Journal OF the 9th inst.
1.-The Express fears that some of the Slaves its EDITORS
married in Virginia may follow ne example o, ousS
a, least In running away if not in writing letters "
do not expect Shareholders 10 abjure slavery out he
fewer Of This class of Wing Editors We have at the NORM
the less likely will the Wing party be TO ioiio" oHha
guides"
This was said By the Evening journal in reply to
a paragraph in which the Express Wanted its own
peculiarly national feelings, its freedom from local
bias, &c Whether the retort was justified or not
by the provocaon depends of course upon the qnes-
NON of its verify Our readers will of course draw
their own differences as to the probable truth or
falsehood of the Journals alluson from the temper
exhibited by the Express and its unwlingness TO
let its readers know what the Journal had sa'd.
There is homely proverb that it is the '0nndel
bird that fiut,ers but as the Express assures Us
that the one who was hit is not at present on the
nest, we suppose this unusual agitation oil It's ed
itorial feathers means nothing in particular
The Express has one more paragraph, the
courtesy and politeness Of which are SO conspicu-
GUS that we must quote it:
There is one remarkable characteristic in the course
of the Evening Journal and Tribune considered as
papers protesting 10 be Wing Both OF these Journals
are always clarifying, like Chapman Of Michigan, and
Kennedy Of Indiana in every thing that is low and de-
grading Every thing with them is polite that is vulgar
and every thing moral that is expedient. They arc
Observation-Disclosures traitors IN the WING ranss'
holding nothing in with the party TO which they
profess to belong except the which they disgrace
By their doctrines and b. their manner OF intoxicating
them"
There will certainly be little need after this OF
our telling what is the remarkable characteristic
Of the Express. We must own in all humility that,
in comparison with the extreme gentility and pc
likeness of that journal manners are indeed rude
and uncouth. But let not the Express despair oil
our reformation for, under the ameliorating influence
of its elevated principles and ennobling example,
were making rapid progress. Man is man you
know and not easily kicked and cufied into reason.
Have patience, neighbor with our waywardness
and lack Of refinement
