col. FrTZ HENRY WARREN

The scurrious attack made upon Ftz
Henry Warren BY the editor Of the Bloom
ing,on Enquirer in his Inst sheet, is as IN
worthy the conductor Of public prin, as
It Is unmcritcd upon the part of the former
gentleman. The secret Of our cutempora-
rvs ire is, that somebody had assured him
that Mr.. Warren had promised to n. l..
Stout, former editor Of the Herald aud ~
competent man for the station MS there j.
in Bloomington, the Office Of Postmaster Of
that place. Upon receip, of this Bit Of in
telligence the irascbIe editor Of the Enau-
rcr proceeded TO vent his venom upon Mr..
Warren. A public meeting had becn held
in Bloomington short time previous n,
which Mr.. Crandol had been recommended
for Postmaster. Therefore, reasoned our
contemporary, Mr.. Warren has s.disrecarded
the will Of the people and the Wing party
Il never occurred TO our luminous neigh
bor that sufficient time had no, elapsed for
Mr.. Warren to hear of TINT public meeting
before such assurance was given, If indeed
it we're given at all.
We would not wish 10 be considered as
meddling in the local nff,irs Of our sister
town, but M citizen Of lown we must be
excused for defending Mr.. Warren, fellow
citizen, when so grossly, numerically aud
assaulted. Mr.. Warren is n
politician and a Wing, and the worst charge
that has ever been or can be sustained
against him, is, that he has been devoted
to the interests Of the Wing party. Suiii-
cicnt IN tho eyes Of some Of the Locoioco
party, ofthc Richie school, to bring down
upon his head every accusation that the in.
vensive genius Of the perverted mind Of
man can originate.
Since writing the above we arc rejoiced
to encounter tho following fat denial and
OF the charges made agains. Dir.
Warren and which our neighbor ia the
plenitude Of his vindic,ivcness has seen
proper 10 reproduce as original
The Washington Union--throwinc off
even the few restraints which il was wont
10 observe in treating Of lis political oppo.
nents--has gone so far out Of its way rs 10

Is m'ldness TO call mos, independent at-
tack on Mr.. Warren, the Second Assistant
Postmaster General. The attack was 30
rude, SO gross, and SO maniiestly unjust,
that, whilst expressing our surprise that il
should have been allowed 10 have place in
the Union-so lately the official organ NJ
not to be separated in the public mind from
the proprc,ies which every one associates
with such posi,ion--we must also express
our regret thnt there could have heen found
any where, in my party press that would
publish such m attack. Il is, however,
tn - to that sense Of Justice which never
altogether departs from the minds Of men,
cxactlv that sort Of m attack thnt, 40 the
'curses" spoken Of in the Italian proverb,
"l'ke chickens, ever go homo To roos.."
Mr.. Warren has nothing to fear from
such attacks. md, though il mny disturb
tho calmness Of the best men to hear them
selves unjustly and grossly abused by any
one, however unworthy, there 10 feeling
Of contempt which rises above that Of in-
digDation, and makes them. il not sltogc,b-
er indifferent 10 such attacks, still removes
the object Of them so far above such abuse,
40 20 prevent its being noticed.
