was motive for Mr.. AaiIiu to lecture, and ono
for the editor of the Gazette TO .'censure" The

of his adopton,-the other. u denizen by the .'ac-
cldent Of blrlh, 10 serve n purpose, not Of his
own, for he never had one, but of those who use
him.
You cannot have forgotten that this lecture.
on the "MeXican War;" was delivered in several
OF our northern and eastern cities, repeatedly
during the past year, and that it elected general
and high applause, unmixed with censure, from
the presses, alike, of both political parties. In
deed, 1t was regarded, and Justly regarded. as
above and apart from all divisions of party what
ever. But you will remember, u lso, that in the
month OF November last, the speech of HENRY
CLAY was delivered in Lexington Kentucky; and
IN that speech. the denounced as unjust
and unhoy, on our part, and our gallant army
was accused Of "Iaying waste the country. burn.
ing the, cities, and violating the altars of Mexico"
Then Il was, the fiat went forth, suppress. CEN
sure and condemn every thought, word and deed
that did not contribute 10 support this slanderous
accusation-to "spare neither ago, sex nor con-
dition." that refused to join this crusade against
our own country, that dared TO raise a patriots
voice in her behalf How vividy do such things
brluu In mind thoSA darl- do e EoI
ism, when 1t was denounced is "unbecorning
christian nation to rejoice in the success Of our
arms!" Some two weeks after This fiat went
forth. the obnoxious lecture was delivered in tho
city of Louisville. Acceptable and approved be-
fore. by all parties, it now fell under the ban.
Forthwith, the Journal, and the Courier, fell upon
and denounced il as full of mischief, aud even
: 'bIasphemous." This enough TO prepare
the sources Of echo Every tin-ketIo attached to
the caudoI extremity of the party Mastfr, was
Instantly robbed Of its rust q verify believe the
keeper Of the utens, at this place, got some of
that rust on his brain,) and held in readiness to
rattle, whenever the great central beast should
wag command.
If this attack upon Mr.. Mafftt be an Indication
of the spirit in which the Gazette intends to lead
a party in this State it needs no seer 10 forcteH
that the number of his followers viii "grow rep
idly small, and beautifully less" unit next No
vember he will find his exceeding great reward.
in "a beggarly account of empty (baot) boxes"
Upon the whole, you will agree with me. | am
sure, as with some of tho Gazelle's bcs; friends.
that the editor of that print. and his advisors in
this matter, have "dono u very dirty trick" And
further. you must join me, in pruying-'rorgvo

a RADICAL CURE FOR TIE TooTH- AcHE.-Use
rs tooth powder the Spanish snuff called sibclla,
and it will clean the teeth well as any other
powder, and totally prevent the tooth-acho; and
mako regular practice of washing behind tho
ears with cold water every morning the rem
edy is infalible.
