 The following unscrupalgps aascmenh intended to operate agaiuss the eIectioaof Ccg JsaxsoS, appears in the Van Buren Intelllgencer:
 We are not prepared for. and will not submit 10 the fiat gone forth iEom tue eFesal columns .of the Banner, that thOse who xnppo1lea sfai Hrfisnd or opposed Col. SevieF. or who do not wear tue collar of the family are to he crushea.T
 No sach '.6af' hss been put forth U the Dap- ner, and we deny that We ever entertained any such sentiment. The Editor can find TO proof for his assertion, and if he were not disposed to be unjust to us, he would acknowledge that through the columns of the Banner we have disclaimed any such feeling and that 50 recently ir reply to the Gazette and Democrat, that he could not have lost sight of 1t.
 We have al no time made an attempt 10 revive irritating aud bye. gone issucs to deny honesty of purpos. to all Democrats who differed lvi,h us in opinion or that those should be osiraeised who did not agree with us in refsFence 10 men. And this the Editor should know as we'll as auy who read our paper. But to represent IS fairly was not the policy of the lutell.gencer. We understand his design and there are few who will not see that this statement is Amsey pEetext for bis oq- position 10 Col Johnson, and the disorganz,ng ef- forts he is exerting to divert portion of Demo cratic strength from the nominee of the ConSen- ton In this we have reason to believe he will entirely fail All good Democrats will indignant ly condemn the course he has taken and means to which he resorts to place us in false position be- fo-e the people. But not content to Tcaew, if pos Sible the disSensions which hsse sgit,ted the party iu this State, he shouts out again the old worn out cry of ''fsmlly' vexed issues are again started and that in the excitement his deliuqaen- c,es and wrongs to the party to which he protesses { 10 belong, may escape notice and rebuke. The fafuily'' what a commentary npon the bitterness and SC 6shneSS that cling to disappointed sSpirants. Has the Editor forgotten that the heads Of this i 'lannly" have long ago passed to realm where ao lnyective, no persecution eau reach them, end i does he not know flat not descendant or e0Hger ion to tAs reaotest buncb ef tIer Benjann Johnson or A,sbgose II. SeUier, hotis office in t'js Stqtep How senseleSs then the ailuSion But this IS uot enough, to satisfy the vindctive and unsuitable msw of the Van Rnren Inteiligeacer, they must not only go out of office bu, must never be permitted again 10 go in His course toward Robert W. Johnson. would warrant the belief that such is the principle for which lie is conteEding. Johnson Is the only member of The family who now seeks the distinction Of office, and not at this tim, because he 3ssiref ' bat because the Demo cracy Iegaidiug him with faith and confidence 'as ,he man lar the eciss.' have placed hn beore the people as their choice for Representative in Con gress We have no fear thar the into!e.ant spirit thus eyiacel hy the In;elligeacef exists with any true or right minded man Of the party and what ever unfair issues that paper may start to the m jury of Johnson, we have tie fullest reliance Ill the ability of the people promptly 10 discover and condemn them.
