MHNsRs. Enfr0Rs; Through hard faiRS, heavy roads. and high waieEs. we have to put up with half mail about once week, 4 flow days since, with such short allowance, came your sapieR, neighbor's RewspaPtf. as usual, dealing death and deslraciioa on all around. was lead to ex- claim ''what meat does this Cesar feed upon, . when discovered that my tune had been shortened as, few days before, had been the fate, by dis. peasation of the same Omnipotent quiIl. of those more noted ohendeD- CLAY, CAss, Poorx and IicosToS, with their associates. It was some con solation to reflect that and my companions had received the oe1ge ds grace with such noted char acters, whose works also your neighbor had weigh ed in his balance and found wanting. In his sa- gaeity. he had discovered that, instead of pure gold. they were only counterfeit = instead of sci en;ifc '.doetors,' they were the most abomnable ''quacks," who had been retailing and wholesale ing. through long lifetime, their "quack nos trums." to the great mischief of mankind in gene ral, and of the good people of these United States in particular.
 So CASs and CL.y aint true ''dociors'' after all! Or at IS Allah! and great is your venerable neigh bor! The discovery will be placed among the great events of 1851 And surely the people of Little Rock cannot do less than vote your neigh b% Heather medal" as lasting memento of tbeir gratitude. The folks up here feel that the State IS safe, would recommend the people gene
 ally to place this " new light upon hill," that they may see their way to national salvation. Of course the name of CAss has been taken down from the mast head of the Batesville - and from all other like deluded prints as an exploded idea
 Perhaps should have more fully explained to you that am one of those four presumptious per sons who took the responsibility of discontinuing your neighbors paper; it was done in as respect ful manner as the case would admit - except,
 beg leave to say, that in that "Temarka hle docu- ment' which conveyed our dissatisfaction to our "quondam" Editor, the endearing monosylable '3 Dear," was not prehxed to the more equvocal
 'Sir." But this, suppose, was only little ruse of the old gentleman's in order that he might in- dulge in '1mutuality of courtesies' in his own peculiar vein This was too good natured. An! no one knows how often - after this fashion " he does good by stealth"
 1t may be owing to my own .sparblind" weak ness that cannot keep pace with your neighbor's comprehensive policy he is fruitful in expedients. and, in a short space of time, covers all payts of the ground. He, until within few months, was the jealous advocate of the ssCompromise," and could detect disunonist by the teaaences of his aetsAs; but now he has become the defender of those who iat most merely preftss friendship for the Union-but whose conduct and principles are daily sappng the foundation upon which it must rely for an existence. Nay, a short time since you might have heard, in this place. as interesting de- oate as to the hue and color of your neighborthat has happened since the celebrated dispute about the chameleon.
 We are not certain that we comprehend the phi losophy of your neighbors remark - stale and impotent conclusion.' But if he alludes-so de- preclatingly to the idea of iberty-which demands that nafionaf principle or potcy. contributing se- eTTty to the freedom and happiness of the masses, must not be sacrificed to make room for the ad- vancement of the monetary or commercial projects of captalists-why, we are not surprized that, to Aim, with his Fights, the conclusion should have lost its potency" as it certainly wouli be not only ''stale and mpoten" but obsolete, in the southern oligarchy which would be established on the ruins of this glorious Union, by his newly disco vered and much admired patriots, Messrs QvrrmAs, RHETr, SoULE, ct id osanes genus. And we have no doubt but, from the general tenor of his new in- 1 pressions, that in his estimation there is another " remarkable document" called [" WashingtOn's | Farewell Address," which contains an equally 'stale and impoteut conclusion,' in the words cf l the Father of his country, as follow
 The unity of government, which constitutes | you one people, is also jear to you It justly so for it IS main pillar in the edice of your real n- dependence the support of your tranquility at home; your peace abroad of your safety: of your prosperity, of that very liberty which you 80 highly prize. But as il IS easy to foresee that, from diff ferent quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifces employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of ths truth; ths is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of in ternal and external enemies will be most and actively tthough often eoyertiy and insidi- ously) directed; 1t is Of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the immense yalue of collective and individual happiness that you should cherish a cordial, habitual and immoye- able attachment to 1t; aecustoming yourselves to think and to speak of l. as palladium of your po- itieai safety and prosperity; watching for its pre- servaiion with jealous anxiety dlscountenancing whatever may suggest even suspicion that 1t can m any event be abandoned; and indignantly ffow h. ing upon the first dawaing of eyssy attemp, to ali, enate any portion of our country from the rest or io enfeehe the sacred tes hleh now link together The valious parts. ONE oS THEM "PmIAss"
