We make record OF the following strange language
OF the National IniIigsne in lis leading article OF yes
terday;
"As oheeHully may do who feel that pon the

We dismiss without a word the wild and wicked de-
lnsion which the In,eigencer, in the last OF the two
above cited paragraphs, seeks at the last moment to dis
semnate in respect TO the principles OF adminstra-

We are now principally concerned with tive other
points which are made by the whig organ in The
first of the abovequoed paragraphs. The first of these
points is 10 the effect that The administration OF General
Pierce will be the sway of fbuserism; and the
ond is, the sweeping denunciaton OF that public policy
which the Inelgeneer denominaes, not naplly, Jo.k
sonsm.
AS TO the charge of libustesn" thus recklessy and
hurled against General Pierce. manifestly
without the least preex OF in any word he has
ever spoken, any deed he has ever done or shown
any disposition TO do might be dismissed with the
gle remark that il is accusation not so much against
General Pierce against the intelligence and virtue Of
nstnctvely turned to him, and has for months been
liked upon him as, by all his antecedents and all his
knowR character pre-eminently .'the man for the

partisan recklessness. the official corruption and the
sectional fanatcism Of the styled conservatism Of the
country have caused to lower upon our land
But there word of special reply 10 the Inegenser
on this point which must no, be omitted. When did
