The Norfolk Herald, the only Whig paper in yir-
GINA which has treated with any sort of liberal
ity, is changing its tone. II repeats the idle and
contradicted slang of the Wing press, that we have
avowed our determination to "oppose General Tay-
lor's Cabinet to the bitter end Will not the
Herald do US the justice to notice our contradiction
and assist in mailing this counterfeit coin to the
counter?''- Union.
To enable the Her0M to Judge more ac-
curately of the nature OF the slang of "the
Wing press" how side" it is, and how
successfully "contradicted, we copy the
closing sentence of an editorial article OF
the Union Of Friday morning, August 3,
near the bottom of the third column, which
is in these words, to wit:
"We mean to do our Duty and, aohafeu7
face the future may. tOear, We mean to ol'-
pose the administration Of General TAYLOR
and his cabaL to the bitter end"

The Union has every day new story of some
diplomatic correspondence, with this or that min
ister, conducted by Mr.. Clayton, in every one OF
which, according to this organ Of the foreign lega-
tons, he has been roughly handled and the charac-
ter of the country lowered. Supposng these sto-
ries to be true, the Union must derive them either
from the foreign parties to the negotiation from
spies in the State Department In either case, il
seems to have been imposed upon. All its allega-
tons have been pronounced unequvocally false by
the IntfHigencer and Republic, speaking by author
ity.
The Union accounts for this attempt of foreign
powers to trample upon Government by the
discovery it alleges they have made, that the Amer
lean people have been foolish enough to elect to the
Presidency mere dolt-a man utterly incompe-
tent to the discharge of his dutes-and hence says
the Union, 'sthey Foreign ministers) believed they
could with safety alter their conduct and their tone
of language in treating negotiating with our
Cabinet" Now, ii is very true that the Union has
done its best TO make the world believe General
Taylor mere imbecile, but it arrogates too
much when it supposes its character is such as to
give the slightest weight to its assertions. Were
its statements believed, even by those whose organ
ii is, the country might indeed be exposed to in
sut.-Lynchburg puginian.
