We fear that the Pittsburg Commercial Journal, to
whose hgh-toned sentiments in regard to the decences
of political antagonism had lately the pleasure oil
bearing humble testimony, does not give universal
satisfaction to that portion of the whg press whose CHIEF
weapon Of warfare consists in calling hard names We
always read with respect political argument, when
written with candor and Invested of the asperities OF
personal rancor and for that very the Psbure
Commercial Journal is always welcome vsiter But
we have the most sovereign contempt for that class
newspaper morasts who imagine that the truth can be
overcome by the choice explosives of "a whimperng do
ard," "an antique relic" and such like slang, which
while exposing perfect barrenness of talent certainly
prove nothing than the perverted taste and ill breed
ing of their authors. When shall condescend to apply
such phrases as the above to Gen. Taylor and hi, cab
net, will be time enough to denounce us for our ina
Lightly and '.ferocity"
But enough OF this Our principal object in pennins
hi, was to notice badnage in the Commercial Journal
running follows:
When 1853 Mr. Richie shall be bowling in defea, a.
he now is and rene0ng his attacks upon Pesdent TAYLOR
as Nc wM BE- how pleasantly and sela pprovngly shall we
refer him to his voluntary testimony humble eo
In AID OF his defeat although jealous unng obstinate
ana thorough, nevertheless relieved by ga beraty
that does xs honor"
The Journal need have no apprehension Of our "how
ing IN defeat in 1853" On the contrary we confident,
anticipate that the people will elect their democratic can
ddae We shall certainly endeavor so to act our part il
the contest as to leave regrets humiliation at thu
course we have pursued to attain triumph and w,
can assure the editor of the Journal that in the midst
victory we shall attempt to extend the magnanimity
and berality towards him which have recently ex
erlenced at his hands.
