guilt Of thi. most base and iniquitous
transaction. Only ono word more in con-
clusion to our political opponents. They
will end US ever readyato give them credit
Tor any thing which is really meritorious
lin their course. But if they expect to
|lintimidate, bully or beat US into silence;
if BY such means they expect to deter US
from nsing the naked weapons Of truth
and reason, in discharge ofthe duty which
we owe our country, they will find them
selves sadly out of their reckoning.
They know not with whom they have TO
deal. We shall turn neither to the right
hand nor to tie left, but shall steadily and
fearlessly pursue the straight forward
path Of duty; aud il for this, we should
even yield our life at the hand OF an as
sassin melted to desperation by party
who cannot sustain themselves upoh prifi-
ciple, they will find in the voice which
will go forth from the grave Of a martyr
in the csase Of equal rights, far more
formidable adversary than they encounter
in The living editor Of the Reporter. We
apprehend, however, no such result, mn
less il should be from dastardiy midnight
assault. The honest and we'll disposed,
being warned, should nerve themselves
and be prepared as the existing state Of
affairs sne,. esquire; and Tor the worst
that may transpire, let the responsibility
rest where it now rests.

A Specimen of ,ra.l Walking.

Va n sShk va sas.AIHSs1s
On Monday morning, Mr.. Day offered
his protest, against the action Of the House
on Thursday last, on the Bill granting to
Leiever the exclusive privilege Of keeping
a ferry at Montrose as soon as the pro.
test was read, Mr.. Morton, (whig, rose
and moved that the protest be placed upon
the Journals. Mr.. Speaker Sells decided
that was unnecessary for tie House TO
take any action upon the protest, but thai ii
must as matter Of course Be placed upon
the journal" 1t seems by this, that the
whiggies have at last found that the arbi
trary course heretofore pursued by them
will net be endorsed by their constituents.
Sells has just returned from home, and he
has no doubt found that the people whom
he represents, deprecate their unprece-
dented conduct: But it won't do, now;
you have shown your hands, gentlemen :.
1t is quite TOO long step, and you may
rest assured Of this, that the next time YOU
present yourselves before the sovereisns'
TO, their suilrages--they will show you a
specimen O.. still "taller walking"

questioned on that subject? Yes; 50 we
are informed BY member OF the Commit
tee. What was his answer? That MOTH
ing had ever been said to him about a
bond!
This shows the nature Of the efforts Of
the wing party to make mountain out Of
mole hill. II shows that, instead of de-
string to place the real naked truth before
the world, all this investigation, which has
cost the State some two sr three thousand
dollars, is designed merely to answer par
ty ends. 1t shows that these professedly
pure patriots are quite as corrupt al heart
as the men they have accused, if found
guilty; and it proves, moreover, that they
were actuated by naleyolence towards
Col Patterson, toinjure whose reputation,
and to rob him Of his fair fame, they scru.
pie not TO do violence to truth. Let it be
recoi,ected. that the published certificate
was wrung from person processing to be
a democrat, who had just been favored
with an Office BY the wing party. And as
We do not intend TO devote great share of
our space to such matters certainly not
to shield any person, be he democrat or
wing, WHO may be guilty of any species
of corruption-we wish the public TO bear
in mind the course OF the wings in this
matter, and to Judge accordingly Of the de-
gree Of credence that should be given TO
ans statements Of the kind which may APP
pear in the venal press Of that party.
