promulgated in or inferred from the paper
whcrenn lie stands indicted, against his for
mer wife Mrs. Sally c. P. Mcdowell" A
statement signed by them and published in
the National Intelligencer attributes "the
shocking suspicious" entertained by the dc
fendant of the purity of the said Mrs. Sally
C. P. Mcdowell, his former wife, to a dis
eased mind. The statement declares in sub
stance, that there is no evidence "justly and
fairly considerably to give a probable color
to, or justify any suspicion of the reality of
the charges.
Wm.C C. Preston who had appeared on the
part of the prosecution solely for the vim
Idication of the character of Mrs. Mellow:
ell, deeming this accomplished by the dec

The Journal tenders us the helmet of
Mambrino. That is wit indeed; for when
we first engaged with the Journal editor,
we thought we had a real man to contend
with, but we find by closer contact that ii
is only a uind mill.
Question in Political HiskDry.-Who is
Governor Bebb?
Answer. The Magnus Apollo of Wing
gery,-The Governor who writes his ad
dresses to the people Of Ohio for publica-
ton in the Missouri Pike county Journal.
We attempted last week to cory a portion
of an article from the Journal, but "either
accidentally. or from tender regard to gram
matical propriety' a word was dropprd,-
which accident has thrown the Journal in
to fits. Really, neiglbor, since il has had
such a spasmodic effect, we regret very
much that we could aot find the sense Of Your
article which was enveloped in a cloud Of
the "longest words" prehaps that ever
graced your sheet.
The editor of the Journal has not only
created a nausea uponthe stomachs of his
readers by feeding them upon sthat same
dainty dish," hashed up from the doctrines

take not, become himself a little surfeited.
Now he is a good fellow, and if he will
come along with US, we will endeavor 70
effect his ure by administering TO him
by way of correction, 'those dcnun-

next week.
Il Thank you neighbor of the Journal
for your kindness. We now assure YOU,
that we did not intend to say that you were

tempt 70 lead men by the scent of such
savory dishes as are hasIed up in the Journ-
al from the doctrines of Bebb, iiddings
& Co.
The Journal still ~insinuates that Hale is
a member of the democratic party which
nominated and voted for a candidate in OPP
to him, while he received the undi-
support of the whole Wing party
he has not the small modicum Of an.
of the blush of shame, while he,
under a much greater weight than
a "ton' Of effrontery.
II Well, we'll, read the last Journal and
