ludcs to our remarks Of last week IN re-
gard 10 it's publishing aD attack upon
the character Of Mr.. Cahoone, copied
from the Providence Post. The wri-
ter, whoever he is, attempts to be very
dipnified, and cannot condescend 10
name the paper 10 which he alludes, but
speaks of us as "a neighboring print"
We have no earthly objection to all this.
for neither its dignity or its silence al
feet us in the slightest degree. The
Advertiser attempts to excuse itself Tor
re-rrlnting the attack upon Mr.. Ca
hoone, by saying that it did not allnde
to his private character, and adds, "nor
anything more, as we conceived, touch
ing his public services than would pass
for mere political squib" We have
nothing more to say-we fancy that the
Wings of Newport understand the mat
Ter. and know how to appreciate mch
kind Of political squbs upon such man
as the pure and venerable Stephen Ca
hoone
The Advertiser undertakes to read us
a homily on the propriety of our de-
fence Of Mr.. Cahoone, because we have
freely commenled upon certain OF lis
new political friends All we have TO
say about the matter is that there is a
vast difference between maliciously at
tacking such man as Stephen Cahoone,
in his situation in lite, and possessed Of
such q character, = and showing up such
tme-w orn political stagers as Beach
Lawrence, Daniel Brown, Milton Hall,
ct sui generis.
II Mir. Atkinson wrote the article IN
regard TO this mater, ard we rather
think he did, as it seems 10 bear his
marks, and especially, as Gov. Law
renee is absent from town, we think that
he is really improving little in his
style,-and it is barely possible that he
will yet become the great man Gov.
Lawrence represented him to tt, at the
ine the AdreTiiser changed It's politics.
The Gov. said that the people Of New
port had under-estimatcd Mr.. Atkinson,
for his leading article, alter the change,
was very ably written,-this Was one
way that the Gov. took TO praise HIM
sell, for every one in this community
understood how much Mr.. Atkinson had
10 do with that article.
We suppose that our quondam friend
Atkinson 10 a little sore because We al
luded, in the article 10 his having chang
cd his politics Tor pecunlary consider
alton the poor iell)w should not he so
sensitive about the truth, for every one
in this community is aware Of the fact ;
the effort which was made in the first
number Of the AdreriiSer TO show that
Mr.. Atkinson had changed his princi-
pies. as matter Of conscience, and that
I'll the great questions which formerly
divided the two parties, no longer existed,
was all barney one under
Alter all, there are good many
good traits about our old friend Jim al
though some which very much need
correction. He must remember that
his position is in front OF the army Of the
unterrifed Democracy as its bold stand
ard-bcarer and as we are all just en-
tering the Spring campaign, none must
finch from duty in consequence Of al.
fcctcd dignity. Our Governor Law
renee will not consent to this when the
contest WAGES high, he wi ill reams OF
paper with his Iucubrations, in replying
TO ia ncighboring print" Oh Jeems
don't affect SO much dignity, for it Is not
natural to you, and the garment makes
you look awkward, sven in your newly
furnished locoioco suit
Before the pub isher OF the Adrcrtiser
charges US with 'iIiying the charac-
ters Of persons, he should wash his
hands clean Of such sins committed not
only la,terly bu; in years gone by; il
he will examine the columns olthe Her.
ald of the Times, while il was published
by him, it his memory is irail, lie will
find innumerable instances OF the kind.
Such remarks, as are INDUCED in by
the Adrertiser, do not come wllh very
good grace from man who has Just
proved treachcrous TO n party which
sustained him for twenty-five years. .
