The Count Of Neselrode, d full hal
column Of harmless abuse, because in
noticing the arrival Of the Count. We
stated that = printed card had been
received by usthrough the Post Office,
informing our citizens Of his arrival,
and his willingness, to receive visits.
The senior editor of the Advocate who
we esteem as one of our earliest friends
and gentleman, cannot have us re.
gard him any less, for such articles in
his paper as the one referred to, head
ed "Superlative Meanness." We are
proof against newspaper attacks, and
certainly have never yet with malice
aforethought attempted to injure any
one, by a breach Of the laws Of gen.
tlemanly propriety. Of decorum Ind
etiquett; if We understand what they
are. Such a breach, would be from
our Hotteutotish ignorance and not
from malicious design. How our
neighbor could take offence at our no.
tice Of tue arrival ofthe Count, is pas.
sing strange to us, as there is not the
slightest allusion to the editor, or any
one connected with his paper. We
hope the following note from the Count
himself, will convince the editor of
the Advocate, that, that gentleman
does not regard the notice in the same
light the editor of the Advocate does.
We are very certain that no offence
was intended to any one by our notice,
and are glad indeed that it is not so
construed by the Count of Nesselrode
himself: s,.-..
EDITOR COMET :-SlR, You kind
ly noticed my arrival in your city in
to-day's issue. You seem to have
been informed by a circular, Of which
I have no knowledge whatever, that
citizeus who desire to pay their de-
voiys could see me. l am truly sor-
ry that my arrival here should have
been made public to avoid this I
came without previous notice. You
would confer a favor on me. if you
state that I shall leave to-day to visit
Gov. Roman s and Mr.. Valconr Aimc's
plantations. and that, although l should
have been pleased to become adquaint-
ed with your citizens, as a simple and
tvaveler, my time will
not permit even this.
Hsiea.l i' Respectfully !
NEssELRoDE.

Ed. Comet Sir-While l am
with a deep sense Of obi
cation to you, for the very liberal and
generous, and kind manner in which
you have choseo to mention me in con-
aection with the paper which I intend
10 publish, must beg to say that l
cannot see, as you seem to, any incon-
yruity, in making a newspaper We
licle Of Religious news, in connection
with "Republican polictics.' If it +
we're my intention, as it certainly is
not, to envelop the two in one tissue,
hen it would not, in my opinion, be
making an infraction upon consistency.
There is no course Of reasoning to
which the matter can be subjected,
hat enablesme to discover any antag-
,nism between Catholicism and Re-
'ublicanism-on the contrary, l view
hem as kindred elements; not that
'ither is simply an element: for each
8 an immense whole-neither Of them
AVE. circumscribed limits; both are ,
Universal in the bredth of mankind,
heir centre is every where, their cir
umference no where, With reitera- !
ed thanks to you for your courteous ,
expressions Of me in Tuesdays Comet, .
nd with promise to reward you for
be same with a free passage in the
