The POLITE Observation-Disclosures should speak
the truth boldly, but always in becoming and dig
nfed language; or he who uses offensive language
in his paper should expect the same treatment
that would ensue were he to address himself YER
bally to the person assailed If the word lie does
not mean fight, it is vain word, and recoils up
on him who uses it, Now here we have paper
before us in which the editor says of his neighbor
eve shall pay no more attention to his abuse
than is absolutely necessary to show up the har
reserving however, at all times, the right to ex.
pose his attempts to deceive the public on politi
cal and general points The man that is nailed

Governor Footc, Of Mississippi, having in re-
cent letter stated that he despared Of any resto-
ration for the present Of the ancient concord
which once prevailed in the Democratic party Of
Mississippi, ON account of the efforts of cor
rupt and hreng press, y the editor of the vicks-
burg Seniis<i MIR. ID. Walker, writes to know
whether the Governor included his journal in that
sweeping dcnunciation. To this the Governor
replies that he referred to a numerous body of
editorial percentages constituting weli-known
class, and further says:
''fhat this class Of pestilcnt and mercenary
scribbers for the political press Of the country
has veritable and widespread existence; that
the members of this class are u numerous, we'll
paid, active, and influential corps, extending into
every State in the Confederacy--nmified into al
most every city, town, and village; that there is
much ability Of various kinds to be found in this
army of corrupt stipendaries, much industry,
much efrontery, and but little conscientiousness,
l shall not now stop to prove; that, al class,
they have little or no regard To private worth or
public virtue, or the true honor Of the Republic,
all discerning and minded citizens stand rea-
dy to attest; that the members of this class are
even now arrogantly claiming the right TO exer-
else absolute and despotic control over public SEN
tment and our social and political institutions,
and are openly aspiring to regulate even the Gov
eminent itself, is one Of the most alarming symp-
toms of growing depravity which the present
times have afforded. There is no class more cor
rupt than this-none more dangerous-none, in
my judgment, moro utterly despcable. King
Caucus HIMSELF with all that hideous legion of
dark-scheming votaries who grimly encircle his
throne, unaided by the members Of this murder
Gus and Vandalic tribe, would be almost wholly
innocuous."
In the following postscript to his letter, Gov
ernor Foote indicates what shade Of political opin-
ion is represented by the class to which he refers;
Perhaps in publishing the above correspond
ence it may be well enough to remind those who
may peruse it that, in the State Of Mississippi for
the last three years, noted paper published in
Washington city, (the most profigate gazette
that ever knew y and several others of the same
type, printed in neghborng States, have posi-
lively had as much, and some of them, easy to be
mentioned, have even no,c moro influence in dis
ordering the Democratic party, and disturbing its
concord, than my newspaper published i'll our
midst. have had to struggle against the most
villainous calunnies upon tile Compromise and its
supporters, making their appearance in the papers
referred to, ever since the autumn of 1850, and
am still constantly defending myself and my
course against the most unprincipled assailment
from the same quarters.
