SQUARED OFF ron A FIGHT,

The Baltimore Times, of yesterday, under
the very imposing and dignifed caption OF
Squared off for fight" has an article on the
course of this paper, the first sentence of which
is rs follows: sa
After thinking over il for day or two, the
Washington Sentinel has taken hostile attitude
towards the administration
Our worst enemies cannot accuse us Of a
want Of candor. We always express orr SEN
timents so plainly that no man who reads our
paper, with the wish to do US bare justice even,
can mistake us. How it has happened that the
Times has so read as thus grossly to misapprc-
bend us we cannot say. II has misrepresented
us. We say SO distinctly, and it is but fair to
ask a reperusal Of the articles on which its
opinion is based, and a correction of the error
into which il has fallen.

SECRETARY GUTHRIE.-This gentleman may
be hard or soft as he likes. We care nothing
for that. We only wish him to be fair, honest,
digni6ed and impartial He is not the only
secretary who has condescended to dabble in
politics, State as well as national; but he has
proved the first to issue an official proclamation
not only importing that "to the victors belong
the spoils," but prescribing the manner in which
the distribution shall be made among the sew
eral cohorts, manipules and centurions. We
have denounced his proceedings in this respect,
as we have felt that duty to our country re-
quired and in doing so we have not las we
never do) weighed the consequences likely to
result to ourselves. But we have entered upon
no party discussion. We think, feel and act in
relation to public men and measures, not as
party men, but as American citizens. Some
Of our kind correspondents may hence under
stand us, and know that our frank and emphatic
condemnation of a single wrong or iniudicious
act on the part Of a high officer of the govern
ment affords no indication that we are prepared
to aid in abusing and defaming him. They
must look elsewhere for medium through
which to present such matters to the public
We shall commend Mr.. Guthrie when his ac
tons shall merit commentator.

JUDGE MAsoy--OUR NEW MINISTER
TO FRANCE.

Judge Mason has been much maligned, and
chiefly, if not altogether, by the presses that
sympathize with the heesoilers. There may
be an exception here and there, but we do not
misstate the matter when we say chiefly by the
freesoil press AT the head Of this press stands
the New York Post-also the leader in this
attack on Judge Mason. These papers assign
all sorts Of reasons for his appointment; and
all those reasons involve matters of discredit,
reproach, and contumely to Judge Mason.
We bid these calumniators to 20 on in their
work of vituperation and slander-but we tell
them, at the same time, that it is labor lost
They might, with the same hopes of success,
attempt to storm the rock Of Gibraltar with a
pocket pistol. Judge Mason is gentleman.
In manners, he is model for youth; in abil-
ity and attainments, standard for statesmen.
The south loves him--the national democrats
of the north admire him, and he may deem
himself fortunate in having for bis traducers
and enemies the traducers and enemies Of the
country and its institutions.
