The Enquirer aud the Admi ais'rarion.
The Enquirer of Saturday accuses US
Of endorsing the New York True National
Democrat, the administration organ, and the
only accredited one in that city. He saysi

Onr neighbor's candor in making this con.
fsssion su:passes our most hopeful exPecta'
lions of him. We only charged that paper
with being rabid "Know-Nothing" organ,
and that the administration endorsed t. this
We did by way of repelling the Enquirer's
charge that Kno ~.Nothingism was the off.

full admission of the truth Of our proposition,
shows that il has, at least once in its life
been prompted by q cOmmendable sense OF
honesty.
But he goes further. and says that the Dem.

&C.. &c. Now, we did not expect that Mr..
Hall would admit that the only accredited

The Enquirer does not venture word OF
denial that the True National Democrat, is
the organ Of the administration and its ap.
Pointees in New York. II it does, will il
please tell US what Democratic paper in New
York is the oracle of the government! o.
will our neighbor make the humliating con.
fesson that the President has no newspaper
organ in New York at all!
Mr.. Hall attempts to parry our blows by
introducing Horace Greedy and the Tribune
as "Ths great American oracle of Why.
gerry" Now this subterfuge won't do, Mr.
Hall. You know that the Tribune is not thu
oracle Of Whiggery, nor has it been fo
years. in either State or National politics
It was a bitter opposer of President Fill
inors's administration. and has moro thsI
once declared the Wing party dissolved
There exists no parallel between the posi-
tions Of the Tribune and the True Nationa
Democrat. The Tribune has long since beer
repudisted az the oracle ofthe Wing party
and could by no possibility be considered tn,
oracle Of party to which it denies exist
ence. Whereas the True National Demo

highest official Democratic power and au

DIR. Hall says he understands there 10

and malicious accusation, and we leave
