TIae Thersites of the State Journal
After having occupied tho editorial columns o.
the State Journal for several weeks ia
bullying. pettifogging, sneering and savling, to
make out justification, either legal or equitable
sor tho whig majority in the Legsla refusing
TO pay sawuel Medary for his services as Printer
90 the Senate, the Thersites of the State Journal
attsmptsto to abuse US for what he terms " coarse
yarns," and assumes as ungcntlemanly conduct
Not eonten, with this, he adds that wo are un.
known to him, leaving the annhlating inference
that we must be nobody; and concludes the
whole with ritful attempt at stale wit, bette,
sdspled to the select auditory Of village grog-
columns Of q Stato ssurnal.
It is an old and well approved adage, "those
whe live in glass houses" &c. Now Mr.. Thrall
should be the las: to draw comparisons between
editors and their predecessors. Translated from
Ths control Of sounty papor, to manage the
heading paper Of his party in the State, he hos
given no evidence of his peculiar fitness fer the
charge. Mistakibg violence for force, arrogance
der dignity, and vulgar coarssness for wit, he has
fully exhibited that while he fel, his position, he
has not oonprehended how TO fll it, and is much
more dangerous to his own party than formida Bile
40 tAc Democracy. In the trashy and insolent
article, in noticing which we gave him offence
by putting our own construction on his language,
when 1--WE quote from memory he said, that if
there was whg member in the House who would
vote for the appropriation to pay Medary, he
would like TO see him! he showed an unpard
enable want of political prudence, courtesy and
Eentlsmanly demeanor towards the members of
the Legislature Of his own party, calculated to
defeat his object, if the power Of tho whg
ain-pan caucus had not been more efficien, to
cesree submission than any fears from his buster.
ing ASSAULTS For such man, however high his
misplaced position, to attempt to measure what
courtesy demands Of a political opponent is as
feasible as for the blind to dictate the harm
onious arrangement of colors. But we hope he
may long maintain his present elevation; we feel
assured that no one can be selected to fill his
place who will contribute, in an equal degree, to
help US, mex, fall, to roll up that majority agans,
whiggery which might be doubtful without his
assistance.
Ths editor Of the Journal says he adopts our
statement but he falsfies ais assertion as aooa
a. made. We did not pretend to give his exact
language, but quoted what ofitw did give--and
substantially, as whole, eur statement was cor
rest. s,a sars. as.se ,.4
A wsrd in conclusion upon the real matter of
soetrovcrsy-the source Of bitterness to the editor
Of the Journal: He refers Mr.. Medary to the
Courts for the recovery Of his claim. Will he in
form the public what respect was paid to the in.
Junction ofths supreme court on a former occasion,
whsn this question Of printing was the subject
nsttei1 If the Wing State officOrs disregardod
the Courts then, will they Seat them with more
respect now? Or is the present bench better
constituted to suit their purpose?
