We give thus statement of facts, that injustice may not be done the contractors. And as an act of justice to Horel, Snapp Sr Co. we think the lntelli- gencer should correct the article it published. We stated short time since, that when Woodruff should complete his state ments about the Banner, that we would re- ply te them iuIly--not doubting but that they will be fully satisfactory 10 the democ- racy every where, But upon reflection we have obtained our consentso far, as to no- tice him in the following manner this week --lest the little fellow should gel mad with himself, and in-his anger, commit suicide, or something worse.

Ne- tlier they nor the faction here oi which they are the head, shall receive any quarter at our hands, as long as they are engaged in the nnholy scheme ofdisorganizliion, nor escape exposure on all proper occasions. As dis organization must be rebuked by us, il be- comes our duty, to lay the lash on them. which We do the more readily, because they are the chiefs of il.

In such cause every true democra. must say that we are right
