And II those remarks hare resulted in 90 great

The Democrats have shown that much can he

example will not he lct, upon the Wings. And

Wings in other counties Of the district. To make
some eIer,ion in our fayori II would add cOnsi.
deraby to the convenience Of political action, to
have some medium Of general communication,
through which the feelings and wishes of the peO-
pie Of each portion of The district could speedily
be made known to al the others; more unsnim-
ily wouh then be obtained. and the movements
Of the whole he more conveniently and speedily
ma,ured. Hllsborough being near the centre Of
the district. eanno, the Recorder very advantage
ously be converted into such medium! All
we can DO is to offer il as such, and to invite our
friends 10 the trial; promising to spare no pains
in our sxertions 10 deserve the patronage that
shall be extended 10 Us.
The editor of the RATION, in enumeratins the
/ disadvantages under which the Democratic party
has lsbored for the want Of party organ in this
congressional dis,ric. speaks Of the Recorder IS
having deal, unjustly towards the party, when
publishing the proceedings Of their meetings, &c.
lie says, we're het,er for the party il they were
not published at all, than that it should be done
BY the Recorder; for he can eonstrue any portion
OF them as ]. plesses him, and comment on them
as he may like. without any apprehension Of oP'
position, contradiction or refuta.ion." The infer
enee pointed at by this quotation, we pronounce
to he untrue in every particular. We frequently
did review the proceedings Of the Democratic
meetings when they appeared in the Recorder, as
we had right to do, and as we probably some
times shall DO when they appear in the RatoOn
but ii cannot I've shown that in any one instance
we pu, construction upon them which was not
intended by the writer's who prepared them for
us. Our remarks in all cases were such as we
though, the cause of truth required, and our ar.
sumen,s were, in our opinion, legitimate and pro-
per. and such as no party ought to shrink from
n the articles reviewed could not Withstand such
an examination, whose fault was il. But the
editor SAYS our comments were made without
any apprehension Of opposition. contradiction, oil
refuta,on." nc so, it was because Of the plainness
and ,ru,hfulncss Of our remarks; for il was well
known ,ha, our columns were always open to any
reply which the friends Of the party might ,hinI
proper to prepare. Every intelligent reader o.
the Recorder, even OF the Democratic party, vii
bear testimony to our lberality in that particular
and We refer to the matter only TO disabuse tn,
mind Of the editor, who could not have Trough
the accusation upon any thing which has fallel
within his own observation.

i rations Of the Democratic party will be commu
