1.-THE Gazette publishes two and half mortal
columns of editorial in replyto an advertisement
in this paper. Our advertisers speak for them
selves but the editor of the Gazette rea ly
10 maintain that editors are responsible for what
is contained in advertisements, we advise his rea
ders 10 look over the advertising columns of that
paper, and see what medley of contradictions
ahdfnnny things generally he endorses. Job
scene advertisements among the number, which
we refused to publish at any price.) ~ ).
How long has it been since number of relip-
ious disputants, Catholics and Protestants, a.
,nong them a Protestant Clergymen of this city,
were charged extovtionate prices for their commu-
nications, as advertisements, in the Gazette, the
editor notifying the public that he was not respon-
sibe for theml But now he has suddenly discoy-
cred that all who do printing or any other work
for the Catholics, are their especial organs and
adyocates! Our merchants and mechanics should
be exceedingly careful as to whom They're to be
their customers, e'se they may be posted as some
thing odi0us inthe columns ofthe Gazette!
Our Protestant friends should be very particular
as to whom they seen talking to, or with whom
they exchange the ciyilities of life, least
they be marked conspirators giving aid and COM
fort TO the enemies of our common countIyl
Asto our course contrasted with that of the Ga
Zete, we are content to let the public reflect, and
decide who is pursuing course calculated to
maintain peace, order, and religious freedom, and
who is the broken down demagouge endeavoring to
make principles which he has never practised in his
life and conduct, the hobby on which to ride into
the favor of people more respectable than himself,
and who have repeatedly repudiated his claims to
anyposition of honor or trust.
81 The truth of the matter between the Gazette
acknowledgement is simply this: The Gazette un
dertcok to raise religious excitement for its
especial benefit Its editor found it necessary to
abuse us, and the pretext of his abuse was the
fact tat we did not pursue similar to his,
and the lackeyS in the employ of that establish
ment have been securing the town repeating his
ISLANDERS and adding thereto what he dare not pub
lsh, and implorlng people to subscribe for that
paper, on false issues. Here is specimen of his
mode humbugging the public. Longing for his old
hobby of persecution, he announced in his usual
whining manner Of appealing to public sympathy,
that the last Catholic subscriber to the Gazette
I'D withdrawn his patronage. This was false.
flebd, for most if not all the Catholics who had
previously taken that paper, continued TO take it
at the date of that announcement, and we are in
formed that none of them except H. NJ, have with
drawn. Now it was very natural for the public
10 suppose that they had Withdrawn, and we
should not have cared whether they had or h7d
not, but it so happens that they had not, and we
only cteth fact to show what miserale falsehoods
The editor of the Gazette will gravely publish and
what sort of game he will play to dupe honest
Protestants.
d The Gazette is welcome to all it can make out
of this last effort to play on the public. Inteli-
gent people of all religious denominations proper
lyaPpreciate it Time will prove who is pursu
ing out his own business and who is travelling out
of sphere to foment strife and excitement for the
Accomplishment of his own selfish and mercenary
ends
TFen years ago yesterday, says the Boston Ga
zette Of the 18th ofJune, tn. Great Webster stood
beneath Bunker Hill Monument, end commemo-

lion which will be read as long as the monument

The streets then walked with the voices of patri-
OTIS; music aoated upon every breeze, the vene:a-
bic hill then shook sgain with the thunder of ar
tillery as it did in'75. Many 1eyoluti nary vete
rams joined i'll the long procession, hailing the
mo,nwith thei trembling voices, whose war beat
en- brows now lie low in the dust. And how ma
NY OF the great heads of our nation have left us
within that period. Where is the patriotism that
was walked by their eloquence in times past?-|
Where the noble enthusiasm raised in .oden times
by the return Of our glorious anniversaries Our
ancestors knew the price of liberty as we do not.
What nobly celebrated fourths we lad twenty
years ago. How every heart leaped at their return.
