We utterly deny the charge of "anack," as
we are the ATTACKED, and shall resent the
onslaught accordingly : hence, we pro-
nounce the allegation as utterly deficient
in fact and destitute Of truth. We have
not attackedthe little piratcal editor Of that
vain-glorious sheet, az we have ever wish
ed to avoid collision with "SmW things" "
and should not notice it nowhere it not for
the purpose of correcting some Of its gratui-

The silly assertion, there promulgated,
that we are the author Of the two articles
which have appeared in the Democrat, ov-
cr the insignia of "a Democrat of l6OO,"
is, we presume, entitled to about equal
credcnce, with the story lie has elsewhere
reported, that the writer of these produc-
lions is a citizen of Danyjlle. His object
in thus pervertng the truth, is obviously
to neutraize the influence Of our able cor
respondent, the whitening force Of whose
truthful pen he most sensibly feels, but OF
whose name and locality he is utterly igno-
rant. We will here once for all, assure
the very diminutiye, seIf-imporlant and
down-cast-lookiDg leader Of the dlsorgani-
zers, that the gentleman who has thus 50
