SIR If you should proper to continue the publica-

Territorial bill from the Serate, will you do the favor
well the justice to correct which has mad
verenty crept into the register OF my reported
in the Union? Independent of the natural prediction
which every man may be supposed to entertain for his
true name, until he has done something requiring him to
change it, have decided objection to the letter D. 1t
is an ominous initial and suggests word not to be
toned to polite But as the list OF votes was made
in dog days." and was sci up in a dog night it s
very natural perhaps, that the letter should have been
uppermost in the compositors mind This is the way in
which account for the error, there two letters
in the alphabet more dissimiar than d and w. Your
immediate attention to this rfing request will confer
favor upon, Yours truly, -
We assure Mr. Houston that have disposition to
bring him to the baptsma font, and chrsen him over
again We therefore replace him in his proper nomen-
cature Nor can very we'll see why he should war
against the letter d. when it is the initial letter of his own
Stae-little but glorious Delawarethe mother of the
Dckinsons the Bayards and the Rodneys All criticism
however, apart-we cheerfuy publish Mr.. HIS card
