Without interfering In any manner with the sie-
waited and dlgnihrd position occupied by me No
at washington FOR such journal as that proposed,

While we have no wish to interfere IN
any way whatever with the right Of GIDEON
& Co., Or any one else, to establish IN
Washington such q journal as that whose
prospectus we have above printed, OF
hundred such journals, we must beg leave
most respe ctfully to dissent from the opinion
Of the Philadelphia North American, for the
plain reason, that our respectable contem
porary (named by the North American)
already fills the precise space, and COM
pletely too, which it is proposed to occupy

more complete abstract Of the course OF
the, National Intelligence, at this time and
during its whole career, could have been
made. But, while there may not be alum
danf room for two such journals in this city,
there may be room enough for competition
between them, and rs competition Is the
life Of all human pursuits, we, in common
with the general public, wish them all the
success which their labors shall deserve.
We desire, before concluding these briei
remarks upon subject that has 50 violently
agita.ed the guild nancs for the last SIX
months, to call the attention Of our venera-
bic contemporary, the Union, TO the pro-
spectus Of the new paper. Its ayowals will,
we sincerely trust, relieve the agony Of Gu
riosity, under which the Tsioa and Wash
ington letter writers have been laboring for
so long time, and we hope, that they will
henceforth cease outragng the truth upon
the question Of the relations Of the proposed
journal to the Administration.
