nelT respective poSlllons. lUe Editors
IF both papers are at Jcfferson--Mr.
Crockett as Representative, and Mr..
Chambers as correspondent for his
paper. During the absence of Mr..
Crockett, the editorial department Of
the hteiligencer has been under the
of Mr.. MITCHELL, q
young gentleman of sterling integrity
and no mean talent as politician and
writer. In the anxiety of gentlemen
q, jefferson, to secure the election of
wing Senator, they undertook 10 muzzle
presses, brow.beat CONSIDERS" and gag
members on the floor Of the Legislative
Halls, and thus make the wing party o
mere piece Of sponge TO be contracted
or expanded, as the wiseacres who had
undertaken the delicate and important
job, thought proper. The opposition
was watching their movements, and
had regular Geographic communication
between the wing camp and their own,
through pers ons who properly belonged
to neither side, but who expected to
locate as soon as a division should oc
cur in the whig ranks. And thus the
contest for Senator was kept up, until
the Intelligencer and Mr.. BRoADuEAD
showed where the wings were, and
where they intended 10 stay. Then,
an election was effected. Having said
thus much by way of introduction, we
give the following article from the In.
telligenccr of the LIST
"a proper regard for selfrespcct, re.
quircs the editor pro tenn Of this paper
TO call attention TO The following re-
tharhaLle paragraph:
A word, now on another matter. II is not
my purpose 10 interfere in any way with the
editorial arrangement Of any paper, but it is
due TO the Wing party, and the representa-
tives OF that party here, as well as to Mr..
Crockett, to say that the course Of the INTEL
igencer in regard to the position OF the
Democratic party opposed to Mr.. Benton,
is not approved here. Mr.. Crockett is here
on public duty, and cannot have the per.
sonal supervision Of his paper, his locum
tenens is Of course responsible for what he
may write, but the editor has, on several oc.
ca,ions, been placed in unplcasar, positions,
by what has been written. The wings
understand this very well, but men OF other
parties do not, ard it is not without! its bad
consequences. Mr.. Crockett is known here
IS sterling Wing, al the same time that, in
his intercourse WITH and his bearing towards,
gentlemen OF The other parties, and parcu.
!arIy the anti Benton party, he has neither
sad nor done anything TO produce an un.
kind feeling Hence it is, that The allusion
10 Mr.. Jas. S. Green, in recent number OF
the paper, has been much regretted here. -
There was no necessity for it, and its ten
dency has been 10 do harm, though not so
intended.
We extract the above paragraph from the
Jefferson City correspondence OF yesterdays
Republican. We regret 10 have 10 refer
again TO the subject 10 which it aIudes; but
the necessity being forced on US, we shall
do it, thoroughly, finally, and effectualy.
The reference 10 be drawn by the public
from reading the above paragraph, is this:
that Mr.. Crockett, being engaged at Jelfer.
son City too closely to look after the way.
ward course of his paper, the Republican
correspondent and the Republican columns
have been deputed TO scold the editor pro
TEN OF the MteHigencer-lo apologize for
his indscrelions. and screen the editor from
The responsibility Of those indiscretons.
The public must stand amazed at the
magnaniniiy Of the Republican correspon'
dent-edilOr. we presume we may say
wilhou! improperly. How kind lis feelings
towards the lntelIigencer-how deep his in
terest in its success The proprieVors, we
are authorized TO say, entertain degree OF
gratitude for this manifestation Of interest in
their affairs, that they will not venture TO
express.
Another feeling Of surprise that will pos
sess Intelligent readers. ard especially wing
readers oflhe above paragraph, will be that
Of wonder a! The capacity Of The writer. He
rivals Atlas Of DID, in the magnitude OF his
Iabors. The wing party, the wing members
