n A writer in the Tribune addresses the
following qlery to the editor of the Express.
l am unable to account for MIR Merritt's in
ability to observe the universally of feeling
were he at all present. As many of his own
readers, have therefore come under his censure
will ask him as one, upon what principles he
rebukes the feelings of disaprobalion manifested
upon the occasion, entirely willing at the same
time to record due latitude to politicians N II cir
discussions Mr. Merritt will undoubtediy ad-
init, that gentleman are gentlemen, wherever
met; as well in the market place on the politca
ros'rum as in the drawing ROOM
In an answer to which the Express thus re-
plies:
we Will frankly answer the qnes,ioc pro-
pounded, without desiring the least charity as a
politician or license as an editor
We rebuke the feelings nan;fested' to-
wards Mr.. Samuels, upon the principles, that
the constitution of the United States. guarantees
to every citizen the liberty Of speech, and that
this liberty was attempted TO be violently wrest.
ed from him on this occasion.
In other words, the editor of the Express
means to say that the people have no rights to
manifest applause or aisapprobation, when q
speaker exceeds the bounds Of decency or pro-
priety, because in so doing he is exercising a
right guaranteed to him by the constitution -
IL Tue CouolitutIOu uoeS guarantee tne liberty oil
sPeech-it does not guarantee it to one man to
abuse and insult ffty-who forsoo,h must with
hold the expression of their disapprobation, be-
cause the constitutional RICH; Of the speaker,
protects him at the same time that it deprves
them of the right to speak These modern de.
mocrats, would make sad mess Of the cons,i- ;
tuition left to render it TO suit their own ideas
and peculiar views of things-vho ever heard OF
the constitution guaranteeing to any one man
the liberty ofspeech to talk insanely and un-
ceasiDgly TO a body of men, who were tired o..
listening, and sick Of the subject and desired to
hear some one else. But what else, can they
expect from a man who claims liberty of spec Oh
for every body who thinks as he does and uni
formly fIches it from those who differ it'll him.

ALPHA
INDIAN WAR NEW MEXICO.

The Apache and other hostile Indians in
New Mexico have been hard pressed BY the
u s Troops since Gen. Garland took com.
mand of the military forces Of that territory
The sanguinary fight in which Lieut.. David
| son and twenty Of his men were killed, led to
| the most energetic measures against the Ind.
ans, and before he end Of the year, they will
probably be nearly all ext-rninated. A letter
from Albuquerque, dated June 23d, gives an
account OF one Of the last battles. The latter
says ."Perhaps you may have seen that the JIG.
Ell: Ell: ..pacbes have peen at war s;nc. the mid

pnn acle OF the whole Rocky Mountain range.
The surprise was great and the attack SO sud
den that the Indians were panic-stricken; and
with faint show Of rcsistance-the firing of
few shots upon their side-they f.d, leaving
everything behind them except what they could
run on foot over rocks and through tangled brush
wood with. Their camp consisted Of forty-fo
families in twenty two double lodges. From
the pools and tracks Of BLOOD it 10 believed tn a

and with both hands clutched in the hair, wren

fore the sufferer had expired-for ne scream
ed AZ it was done, and was still breathing when
his terrible antagonist swung aloft the reekng
trophy, and yelleda war whoop that sounded
like the blast ola trumpet.
The Indians succeeded in getting away oae

thirty horses, and all the camp and horse equi.
page, the cried meat, dressed skins-in short
everything to powder and ball, which an Indian
possesses. more thoroughly destitute people
than the Apaches cannot be found in the world
Maj. Carleton followed the Indians many a
long day tracking them dav by day, over the
highest ranges Of the Rocky Mountains, through
SHOWS, over rivers, trough deep woods, until
they were caught. The trial was three weeks
old, when it was first found: the grass and
weeds of spring had grown upon the track, and,
heavy rains had fallen. But still it was kept
successfully
The pursuit will have great moral effect on
these Indians, and on all surrounding tribes,
as you will readily perceive. Lieut.. Davidson
Johnson and Moore, lst Dragons, shared all
the tolls of the expedition, as also did Capt.
Quinn, with company of spies.

THE OBSERVERS POSITION.

We are not disposed TO make many words
with the Observer upon the subject OF Roman
ism; but we may Re allowed.to deduce from the
editors language such conclusions As seem to
% rational and consistent. In responding to
some comments Of ours, upon his assertion that
Romanism j" las no sanesity for home, no res
peet for female purity, no reverence for the good
sn9 Beautiful in man, roman, or society. he
ssys:
" The article in question says nothing about
individuals-lt speaks in the neuter gender and
says: . 1t has no sancti,y," not they have no
sanctity"--the "it'' referred to Is " Roman.
ISM" and a. lar az that ism 10 concerned, the
Exprrss may write down that We believe the
" Twelve Reasons" to be good ones, and appi
cable to Romanisn,, so much ior the sesenlh
Ut the Twelve reasons. :"
The editor Is peculiar for his distinctions
without differences. The editor will not ind,
sidsslizs to the prejudice Of Catholics, but he
will condemn the system, which these individ-
uals subscribe TO. ~ having /" no saaetity for
home, 10 respect for female purity, no rerer-
