III. Wise and sW.ssthinsl,m.

The Indleao'eat Republican is again
filled With low abuse Of our editorials. ~ y
Lost fur arguments. they resort to the pros
titutes practice Of overwhelming their adj
versary with billingsgate, such as this, "a
shallow pated fellow who writes tie ed
itorials ofa neighboring sheet" ''knavs
or fool, 7 and such other gented express
sions is about the amount of proofbrought
forward to sustain their sinking cruise
Such languags Is this We viii not attempt
70 refute or imi:ate---it would be cloves
labor lost. for evcn tho "shallow-pated
fellows" who writc The editorials Of the
Star have sufficient judgment to know
that If We were to make use Of such Ian.
guage, an intelligent community would
pronounce US anything but gentlemen ;
therefore. We drop this part Of the subject,
and will also say, IN this place, that We
have nothing more to say Of John S. Car

his, published in the last Republican Is suf-
ficieut to prove him low, lieartlcss, un.

Mr.. Wise BY fair means or foul, and break
down The Democratic party in the State
for such a man thus sworn and thus
bound, who dare not deny his oath, to
write the letters published in that paper,
sinks himself even below con'empt. And
it is a melancholy instance Of Tho degen.
eracy Of the times, and the unholy rand de.
moralisihg tendencies Of such oa,h.bound
societies, that It's members are obliged 10
swallow such dose as John S. Cariile.-

on their ticket whatsdoes the publication
ofthese letters prove? We leave il to hon.

Ii Nurissue ofthe 18th ult., we proved,
aud proved conclusiysly, that the clause
il. tho Constitution exempting negroes la
years old and under from taxation, was q
Western move. and supported by Western
men, and carried BY Western votes. This
no one denies. But why Is il that the
KnoW-N Nothing papers in the East are
abusing NJ. Wise for opposing this very
measure, and also for his advocacy Of the
white basis system, while their Western
brethren gre accusing him q the very re-
verse. There must be an understanding
between them. II 1t bad not have been
