The following Characteristic piece Of blindness and
spite appears in the Peansyvandn of Saturday last;
and as it reflects upon the Hon. Richard McAllister
unjusty, and in such low and mean terms cannot
in justice to that honorable gentleman refrain from
noticing it. 1t seems that my letter endeavoring to
do justice to the recent ferocious outbreaks of Mr..
Buchanan, through the Penaycan,an, has called out
a new burst of rage against Mr.. McAllister and in
the blind reckless gable of that paper he is charged
with being the author of the letter to the HERALD,
from this place, dated Dec 23d, 1852. This last
piece Of Buchanan spite, spit out through :" the
organ reads thus:--
from Harrisburg about Richard McAlstcr and the Penn
y'rcnion, Is evidently from McAsters pen it bears
his ndelibe mark its face This is blowing ones own
trumpet with vengeance
at bears his indeble mark on its face" says the
PfnaSHlrdn'oa. Oh! how wise-how penetrating
is the Penasylran'an! Its natural sagacty is quite
as limited as ''its knowledge of prominent public
men in the interior of the Staten Did the editor of
the Ptansyirdn,dn ever read, or hear, that "whom
the Gods intend to destroy they first make mad ~
Is not the hopeless editor mad What can be the
matter with him? Is he insane, blind with spite
or what is the matter? This edtor--or these edi-
tors-or the harpies Of the Peansyivaaian, are
blind with vengeul spite, and little deIirious in
their troublc-their wounded iluttering--how they
do futter! Yes, they are little insane in their
rage; they "indclibc marks that do not exist
should sayspectres perhaps, of his indeible mark
on its face Has Mr.. McAlsters elpose, his plain
truhspcaling letter, which the Pennsylvania re-
fused to publish, driven the Pennsylvania crazy?
Or ~ II hell-haunted for denying an innocent man
the privilege of making his reply TO their malicious
attacks in its own columns !? The Penasyicaatan
ghosts, mania sights, "indclible marks &C.,

becoming uneasy, too in the smoke It's overlooking
factous spirit has raised. Perhaps standing so
long in the shadow Of tiesage Of Wheatand has en-
chanted the Peaasyranian. Does the Pennsy,uanian
attempt its wonders by encbantmcnts Egyptians
and shmaeltes OF old did, and il would be quite be-
coming in "the organ-quite characteristic. But let
me assure the alarmed haunted cnchanted-crazy
Pcnasyfraaian, that "the letter in the NEW YoRK
HERALD, &C. is not "from Mr.. McAster's own
pon;" that Mr.. McAstcr never saw or knew any
thing Of it till il appeared in the HrEALD--indecd,
