This was the response O. the editors OF th7s
boiling sheet, to the query-w PM 10 them and

for themselves. II satisfied us that they were

determined to throw ev, lobsiacle, es they have
uniformly done heretofore, in the way OF the
democratic ,icket-that they we're determined
10 defeat if possible the present Representative
ticket although they had not the courage and
inaepence to co,re out and declare their resolve
in go many words.
The above ex' ract in the hands Of a skiiiiul
correspondent, has formed text for long
discourse in the Tribune, intended to initiate
against The election Of Mr.. Hall. Not content
with this, they furnish in their issue OF "ednes

in his power to defeat hin. We are anxioua,

Now, this communication, Bentontan in 1t
style, imbued with so much fct ious democ
cratic purity and struggling IN paFoxIsms 0
dignity, was unauestionably c"ncocted in 'hl
very City and very likely in Globe Building, t
defeat young ard honorable man and con
sis,ent de mocrat for the Legislature, who hap
pens not to regard the editors in question, a
the purest models of manhood in tbs land. In
word went forth before Mr.. Halls nomination
that if nominated he should te.hea!, aud sulun
the action to the word, the editors ara deter
mined to make thrs declaration good, If ia
influence of their Dol ing sheet can bring
about. II this be not their purpose. why hav
they assailed the ticket and allowed a commun
cation in their paper attacking an individual o
that ticket, The mask is too thin to cove
their treavhery.
Now, let Us enquire, what are the motive
which influence the course of these men? Thu
question is as easy answered as asked. Is
They would rather see whig elected to Ii
LEGISLATURE, than man they could not use

They have NO love for the Hon. A. L. Dodg
and therefore no love for those, whd TesPe
him as man and public officer. The ob]e
in leveling their batteries at William 8. Hal
is not merely to defeat him. There are othe
on the ticket that they cordially hate, oil
tina, they as confidently expect to defeat
The apology for assailng Mr.. Hall at tn
time, is, that he Jolted the election OF Judg
Clark, two years ago. Whether this be tn
or false, we are unable to say; but admitting
for argument sake To be true the editors
this paper, TO repudiate the action of the den
