Pasg have prevented US from, Apllcing The remarks
Of the Argus rs promptly as ourinclina,ions would

10 defend binsef against the charge Of atE0gonce,
&C." This is an Unfair representation OF the oh
servnliOns we made, IL which lie is attempting a
, TspIy--a"d he shall by no iesditry make such an
issue. We made no charges against tue editor Of
the Argus,--and ab We oil we made none against
Him Of Arrogance. We know the difference between
the editor Of the Argus, and the DemooEatcparly--
and with ullOur respect for The worthy editor, we
do nOtmiSlOke hlm for hispaTly, oEthink him quite
as great, or quite os bad or mSOheviouS, nS his Ex'
rcuiVe. Our friend is disposed 10 be rlEer QUICK,

himself in its place. BuIwe will not aOcepttht
substitute, OF allow him by imputution to take the
SinSof his party upon himself Wedo not wish
10 he dsIeSpectlul -but when we attempt sub
siiiule foE the great democratic Pietce party, we
will require one at least as great as President
Pierce OF Senator Douglas
We did not charge the Editor with arrogance, or
with airs Of superiority, This was thing we
never thought O--theto is nothing in OF about the
Argus to give rise TO any alarm in this direction.
We did not even charge the democratic party
taking on itself pretenSiOnS Of superOdlY-nor did
we change this party with treating The Wings as in
IeTOr in political rights. Not at ell; not at ALL.
But we did charge that tile Democratic party was
'lpOscupllVe aud tyranniCaI', and we further Oh.
served that that party was in the habit Of treating
Stne WhSS as lEntors and unworthy OF Office or
place--tl al no posi- services OF merits, were Snill

was Whig--lhat If Wing, go he must, even IL

memory, but are very sure we substantially

~ To these charges we invite the worthy aud vn.
liant editor to give his alIenlionS and TO do with
lien as lie may think heSt-but not 10 put hisTea
ders on a wrong scent, or to nakeuS say what we
Jid not. pcs ra. stnt
Asto our observation, that We thought 1t not at
all probable, that any party could arise winch
would do worse Or Wigs or for the country, than
tie present IeinocrStiC party, lie only remark we
have 10 oe, is, that we ate softly 10 be compelled
10 say that we think it is,lTus. And if it will
serve turn we will sll, that we think il not inn
probable new party is about TO arise instead Of
the wing party, which is 10 lie The opponent Of the
present political party selr.slyled Democratic
and we will say to our friend, that we are al pres.
cntinnlinsdto wish il Col speed claiming hOwev.
CT, the same right 10 change our opinion, as some
wings in Wheeling claim TO have, 10 become dtn-
oerats. And il is not improper that we take this
occasion to observe, that tits our impression, that
the wings as party, have been beaten down by
the patty calling i,Seftt democrntiC--thOMgh we
hopewe may he mistaken and knowing the excel
lencv Of wing principles, and lhatno party, not
evsn,tho democratic. can get along without their
government and Potcctlhe people in their persons
and property without the leading elements Of
