prise than auy thing had vet revealed; and that
might. AT future time lay some Of them before
the public The oft repeated aud almost daily so
lictations Of numerous citizens from various parts
OF the county calling ON Inc for 'Vaore light to

present stale of things seems to impose, imply
that the time has arrived for again lifting the cur,

When wrote the Erlos,, was fully aware

and in 4 manner that some perhaps MANY. would
call numerically sarcastic, and severe. And from
the Editors remarks IN subsequent paper 1t
would seem that he Thought So too. ! thought
differently. and for reasons that were no less sat
isfactory to me- than they will be 10 the public
when these reasons are known, | now purpose
In again lift the veil and let the public see what
some If those reasons were.
In nv Expose stated that the court in request
ing the sheriff To notify the physicians To send
in proposals for doing the medical paupcr Sus
ness, informed him that he need lot notify me-
and that one member Of the court said they
would not receive proposals from me, This re-
mark was made TO the sheriff, as | am informed
by Mr. Elliott | shall therefore devote most of
this communication to his especial benefit And

OBSERVER.

.Messrs Editors The last No. bn of that singular
paper the Virginia Messenger, contains several editorial
articles of remarkably furious pazlp character SO far
as the remarks therein made were directed particular per-
sons and papers, the Spectator among others, you must all
defend yourselves your best ability But feel justified
in calling public attention TO the party character Of those
articles, proceeding asthey do from who heads his col
umns with party ticket and in his Prospectus promises
neutrality in Potics and religion In regard 10 the atier
the Messenger stands acquitted any decided departure
from the chalk. he has not raised The standard Of Reform
in religion morals but carefully preserved strict
rality between truth and We are sorry the same
cannot be said in regard to politics. .Neutraly! II re-.
minds us rather of the play for himself Of which tho
Irish lad accused the pedagogue whochasiised him+
We suppose that il we should be asked why the
Virginia Messenger earnest in lis support Of The Re-
form party" we must answer that she is neutral in poll
tics" II we should be asked why he bitterly denounces
the Spectator the organ of arsocras and Office holders
we must still answer "he is neutral in politics." II asked
why he keeps the head of his columns the names OF
the Candidates oone party, and omlls those Of the other
party must still repeat The satisfactory solution, e IS
neutral in politics."
Now if this candid Messenger neutral in religion
in the same style that he is neutral in politics might
expect him enter the arena of religions controversy and
raise the standard Of refJrm in the Church well in
the State. We might hear him loudly eloquent for pop
uIsr rights 10 Chureh affairs denouncing The Wesleyan
and other time honoured systems Of ecclesiastical polly as
aristocrac and oppressive, and insisting upon having ali
Church officers, 'front.' the Bishop to the Sexton. elected by
majority of the members. But il that neutrality
in politics and neutrality in religion directly opposed to
each oher if in the theory certainly in the practice Of
the Virginia Messenger.
Chemists tell us of certain substances called neuIra!

predominance OF both these properties in It's columns A.
