We take III be the duly Of apublic jour

difusing correct informatiOu,a and not TO use
them for the unworthy purpose Of eMtrUp~

bis avowal to the contrary, We would say
this was all an afteEthought, as the afOre-
said bait was about the same time going
the rounds Of most Of Ihe whig papers,
aud The ORly alteration made 10 It was the
substitution Of Kingdom for State. that
owes its origin entirely to the Creole.
Whether or not we have exposed our
ignorance in the transaction, we leave to
our readers. They may res. assured that

It will be no part Of u system 10 play

nnsophisticated understanding. But we
presume his fondness for intrigue and low
cunning got the better Of bis kindess Of

element Of his character. Or It may
be that the editor, having 50 long defended
Yankee politics, is now cultivaiing his
taste for Yankee tricks.
W. do not doubt his inclination 70 resort
to trickery, but the small experiment be
