LAST NUMBER OF VOLUME 4.-With this
issue closes the 4th volume of the Enquirer
In bringing our labors to close, at the end Of
our fourth year of toll, we beg of our readers to
bear with us a few moments.
Few, indeed, can appreciate the heart .sicken
ing trials of an editor 1t not the constantly
recurring task, which wears away his health, and
robs him of repose, that makes up 1.-THE of his
taibulations. Neither is it an inadequate and re
Iuctantly yielded support, often leaving him a
prey to anxiety and crushing care. 1t consists
most in the fact that hc is slave to that ca
pricious, inexorable master, the public--that his
best efforts win too often censure, instead OF
praise-his purest motives are mis- apprehended
and his toll to please and instruct, results only
in aharvest ofscorn. .Olen we find our best frienC
misunderstanding us-often we make eneme.

MORNING, -. 49,. July
Hon. L. Clarks Speech.

We commence to day the publication of Judge
Clark's speech in reply to Mr.. Thompson
Campbell Of the Galena District
| We are free t" admit, tha, Judge Clark has
taken bold aad fearless stand in support Of
lowa's favorite measure, and that he deserves
much credit for the manner in which he met
Campbell. az
| This much will suffice to show, that we are
credit that may be due him, Though we have been
almost entirely neglected by him, in the trans
mission of public documents since the conven-
ing Of Congress, and have for the last four
months been constantly and enormously charg-
ed with hostility to him, by his overzealous and
indiscreet friends. Ii we have not noticed his
name as often those Of our Senators, in the
proceedings Of Congress, it has been because
we could not find it reported in said proceedings,
for whenever we have observed it, even con
nected with the simplest motion, we have taken
good care to copy it.
This will meet the false allegations the Du.
buque Herald, and Burlington Telegraph, two
prcfessed neutrals, but in fact disorganising
sheets, who claim to speak by tie book, for Juds
Clark.
1t is a misfortune for the Judge, that these
journals have pursued the course they have
Whether desired on his part, or mo-, it has GER
.tainly operated much to his injury, and 1t i due
from him to the democracy of the End Con-
gressional District, to know, whether, or not
he approves Of their disorgan,zing course.

| A RErRAcrIoN.-Having alluded to the mis-.
erable anonymous assault in the Tribune the
private character of Gen. PIERCE, we give
that print the benefit of his retraction-with the
remark that it would have been more satisfacto
ry and complete, if the Tribune, in d,savowing
the calumny, had given to the public the name
Of the anonymous slanderer, who sought un-
seen himself to strike at the reputation of ss
pure and honorable man as any State in the
Union can boast -
GEN. PIERcE's PRIvArE CHARAcrER.-The
iallusions to Gen. Pierce's personal character
and habits, which appeared in letter from
Concord, N H.. in our last, would have been
suppressed if we had observed them before pub.
fishing the letter. We do not know them to be
we'll founded, and in the absence of any proof
presume that they are erroneous or at leas,
grossly exaggerated Gen. Pierce is certainly
not temperance man, IN our sense oi the term
but we know nothing with regard to his habits
which should expose him to public reprehensi-
on. Weregret that the alluson of our cores
pondent appeared in our columns.
ANOTHER RErRAcTIoN.-The Washington
Republic, which appears to have contributed to
wards spreading the false impression that the
course of FRANKLIH PIERCE, in regard to the
religious test, embodied in the constitution o
New Hampshre-though practically deat
promptly, after full enquiry, does justice to hi
iiberality and sound republicanism in that par
ticular. We copy the following from that pape
of Wednesday:
