of the President, the editor repels COM
pliments offered to him in the same breath
in which his official family" is de-
nounced i'll unmcasured terms, as being
insincere and designed only to conceal
from the world the fact that their authors
are deadly hostile to him. In another
article the Union defends Secretary Guth-
RE from the assaults of the New York
Hcrold and National Democrat, wherein
those journals argue that the Administra-
ton is ''belittlcing" itself, in assuming
to complain of Collector Bronson's alleged
violation of the pledge under which he
took Office, in confirming the patronage of
the New York Custom House in his hands
wholly to his own wing of the party.
The Sentiners leader is an interesting
eulogy upon the Hon. Daniel S. Dickin-
son, upon the occasion of spreading his
recent Rochester speech before its read
crs. The editor in the course of this ar
ticle says of this effort:
The reader will find, in the noble and pa
triotic effort of Governor Dickinson full and
complete refutaton of the charges which have
been made against him by the freesoil lead
ers in New York. and repeated in many other
quarters with great zeal and earnestness, i'll
order to prejudice the public mind against
one whom the country hOnors as among its
purest. frInest, and most disinterested patri-
OTIS
In another article the editor insists
upon holding the Softs responsible for the
vagaries of the New York Erenang Post,
though it is notorious that that journal
rcpudiates, IN toto, the platform to which
the Sotts proclaim their allegiance. The
Sentinel also comes TO the defence of the
iIards against the allegation that they are
opposed to the Administration, growing
out of their uniform failure to pass reso-
lutions endorsing it, and the fiercenesS
with which the National Democrat and
Albany Argus attack the Cabinet. On
this head the editor says:
'"Goaded almost to madness by their perse-
socutOrs, it is not unlikely that. in moments Of
passion, some of the national democrats have
spoken and acted imprUdently, but We believe
now, aud nave believed from the beginning of
this unhappy controversy. that the best and
the trueSt friends, and the warmest admirers
of President Pierce, are the men who have
beel So vilely traduced and so cruelty perse-
cuted' -
The Intelligencer republishes the Courier
d Enquirer's recent attack on Secretary
Guthrie, occasioned by the publication of
his Bronson circular; and also contains
more from Colonel Benton on the Pacific
railroad question. with still another of
the charming family letters from Eu-
rope, which so often grace the columns of
that journal.

Whereupon, the editor to-day showers
oceans of filthy abuse on our head. We
have no reply, to make to his dirty per-
sonalities, not being willing to run muck
with so unmitigated BLACKBOARD as he
proves himself to be in the paper in ques-
