o.. We have said it would be derogaiory to
any respectable editor to attempt to disprove the
calumnious statement Of the Union, that there was
a party, in this country under the name of Wbios
and Conservatives, whose object was to DESTROY
republican institutions and bring about a mon.
archy. The Baltimore American treats the alb
surd charge in the proper manner. After quo
ting the paragraph it says:
W have quoted this passage for the twofold pnr-
pose Of giving our readers a specimen of he Opposition
dialect, and also of extending 10 them the information
which we presume they had not received befare, that a
monarchical party exists in this country, and that there
is design on foot "to change our Government to a NIun-
archy"
1t is well that the public should be warned of this
conspiracy the intlmalion Of which is the more alarm
ing from the fact that the gathering Of men on Round
Island has never yet been satisfactorily explained and

judgment and foresight which mark its suggestions. for

ton If lis tome and temper. lfany violent political or
gan had given the alarm that , mpnarchical party existed
in this country. we should have passed it over as an eIna-
nali.n of excessive political zeal wrought into a rhapsody.
We should have felt no apprehension whatever on our
part. and we assure our readt rs that nothing could have
induced US to trouble their fears upon such an occasion.
But what are we to think when a unal SO c~onsiderale

model of upright, patriotic. and dignified journalism
what are we 10 think when such a paper gives solemn
warning that The scheme of monarchy is projected in this
country. aud that France is not the only Republic in
which the sofi-crab of Democracy is sup posed TO be pass

We consider that the public will be folly justified in
giving way to some excitement in regard 10 This matter.

still. in remembrance of The glorious events Of l776, and
of what our ancestors did for us generally to say noth-

aG, The Enquirer, when the famous hoax prac-
tised by the Wing upon the Union, came out,
made a tremendous outcry at the suppression of
a note Of three lines, which it alleged was by The
writer of the letter, and which deprived the com
munication of all its Objectionable Character
Surprising the note to have been really the cor
; respondents, we had the absurdity presented of
his making an odious proposition in the letter and,
in a foot note, entering his protest against his own
scheme. But the Senior Editor ofthe Union,
3 the Editor of the Enquirer at the time. says the
, note was his, and not his correspondents /! We
have the Enquirer thus in a dilemma. The sem
timents OF the letter are not affected, in the slight

particular part of it. The letter itself, tits, which,
according TO the Union, proves the existence. of

rious spirit of prescription pervading the bosom
of the writer, (Which can find its parallel only
among the brutal and sanguinarv human butchers
of the French Revolution of 1889" If the letter
