0S7-The Fort Wayne Times, wing paper, APP
pended to q complimentary notice which il recently
made of the State Journal the following remarks:
"While speaking Of the Journal, we cannot omit
to mention the Stale Sentinel. That too, is a hand
sonely executed paper and conducted with great
ergy, aud considerable ability but with far less dignity
and courtesy than.he Journal. The editors seem To
hate and loathe all who do not coincide with them
political sentiment, and 10 rack their imagnatiOns
tor ePithets and expressions offensive and odious
enough to heap upon their political opponents. How
lar such terms as ''torieS," "federa! tory wings,
Mexican wings" and ON. with which their col
umns are usually garn>hed, contribute 10 their repu-
latinn as editors. their character as gentlemen, Is
lar them To decide for themselves but the great body
OF the PeoPle-the public-w also decide for itself.
"But with these bemishes. the Sentinel is an able
paper, and deserves well of its party
The Editor of the Times is utterly mistaken if
he supposes that We in the least degree ahate and
loathe' those who differ in opinion with US, any
extent, or on any subject. We may hate and lOathe
what suppose to be their errors but we recog-
nze their full right to the free and full enjoyment and
expression of opinion without any Limitation, and
should despise them if they failed claim and
else that right We never have, and never shall,
personally or editorally quarrel with any for OPP
posing our opinions, when done in decent and hon.
est spirit Consulting feelings, should
prefer TO avoid any controversy whatever to submit
facts to the people, and let them draw their own in
ferenees und form their conclusions from them,
without further aid from US Such course, however
Is inpracticable at present and will remain
long as editors and politicians are found who will dis
tort facts be guilty of misrepresentation, either
from prejudice a mUre reprehensble motive. When
we feel certain that men wil.ully guilty Of such
dishonesty, or notions of right well tenn
permanent leads US 10 speak of it as we feel and in
such terms think should be addressed to our
selves, if guilty Of similar acts As TO the use of
ePihets,-we never apply them except, we believe
legltlmatey, to denote qualify. Seldom, if ever,
have we applied them indiscrInlinatey to any party
for we believe, firmly believe any thing, that
the mass of all parties or even factions are honest in
their feelings and intentions a general rule. We
use epihets occasionally therefore, not in spirit of
la red towards those TO whom we apply them but in
order 10 denote erroneous opinions or principles.
Wing editors and politicians generally, have no right
to complain of this, upon any ground For they sell
dom, very seldom indeed, speak of the democratic
party without applying the nickname "Locooco."
This insult IS common that it is not much regarded
by any one, but it is not the less ungenemany" for
all that Even the liable, dignifed and courteous
Journal is in the habit Of using this nickname; and
avoids the use of the term democrat as though it cere

Scott and Trist.

We are sorry to see that the rumors of difference
between these functOnaries is confirmed. The
Washington correspondent of the Journal of Com
merce has the following on the subject, under date of
July 9th:
The - Union " and the Administration, are of opin-
ion, that if Gen. Scot had forwarded our proposals
after the battle of CerrO Gordo, we should ere TINS
have had peace.
The Administration take decided part in favor of
MIR. Trist, in the difficulty, whatever it may be- that
has occurred between him and Gen. Scott.
Ii has been broadly minated that the Secretary of
State Is ready and DESTROYS 10 give publicity to Gen.
SCOTS correspondence and is asserted that it will
be found be for Gen Scott than his hasty plate
of soup.
There is authority competent to call for the
correspondence. But ii will appear when Congress

which Mr.. Trist went to Mexico, and the object of
sending him. 1t had been urged by the Mexican gov
eminent that sent Minister Pleniputentiary, in
the person of Mr.. Sidell, when it had been agreed
that we should send only Commissioner There
was also law of the late session making an appru-
PriatiOn for the renewal Of diplomatic intercourse
opening negotiation with Mexico, whenever size
should consent to enter upon negotiations Mr. Trist
was sent as quasi Commissioner, with powers act
as Commissioner, when Mexico should give her con-
sent, as provided for by law. The mission came
within the law, and at the same time avoided the
objections that Mexico had made to the reception of
any functonary but Commissioner.
But none OF the governments, State or central, in
Mexico. have been or are, willing TO enter into nego-
tIatIOns for peace; and Mr.. Trist WILL therefore |
presume, return TO his place in the State Department,
and General Scott will be reinforced

DfsGRAcEFUL. = The following resolution, with
many others, was adopted at public meeting in
Michigan, at which Ex-senator Norvel presided No
man who justly appreciated and loved the privileges
and duties OF freeman, could disgrace himself by
asserting t9it:
ReSoired' qhat the practice which has for several
years prevailed of requiring candidates for the Pres
dency to make public confession of their opinions on
the passing political topics of the times, is depart
ure from the example set in the earlier and purer
DAYS of the republic; that it would be unnecessary
for Gen. Taylor to respond to calls of the kind; that
no man ought to be elected to the Presidency, whose
integrity character. principles and patriotism have
not been made sufficiently manifest by his past life
and conduct, and that the Chief Executive Magistrate
of country like this ought to be left free and I'M
uammelled, to act according TO its varying circum-
stances and exigencies.

The ELEcTlONs.-AS nO one takes any pains TO
furnish returns of the elections it cannot be ex-
Pected of US to give them in the paper. This year,
seems to care how the matter has gone, and
perfect indifference has prevailed in the Democratic
party far as We have heard; while our opponents
have been unusually active and, in conjunction with
the AbotlOnsts, who generally cOalesced with them,
have no doubt surprised sleeping forces We
hope the Democrats will one day wake up, and not
suffer themselves to sleep at their posts. Eternal
vigilance is the price of freedom" If should re-
ceve any returns before paper goes to press they
will be given in a postscript.
