Specimens of the ss Respectability'' of the
 Banner, when Edited by BOrland.
 It will be remembered that the editor of the Gazette, in his issue of the 9th inst, alluded in very fattering terms to the "dece'acy and re- spectabasty' of this paper during the time 1t was under the editorial control of hls friend, Dr. Borland In our last paper, we promised our readers few samples of the Doctors de- cent and respectable editorials; and, in complying, we select from very rich mine. Our first quo- tation will be the Doctors announcement ot the appearance of the 'nstial number of Wood- ruff's paper-the same paper now ostensiby owned by Danley. It is treat to read it. It will doubtless call to the mind of Danley's pre- sent friends some very agreeable "reminiscences. Here it is:
 "WOODFUFF'S DIsORGANIzER.-ThlS print, whose forthcoming we mentioned last week, made its appearance on last Thursday nght, from the office and press of the old Times and Advocate,' of intaneous notorety; and gives unmistakable evidence, even in its first num- Der, of its fitness and determination to follow in the footsteps of its worthy predecessor.'-
 
 deeds, and worthily wear, as he will richly win, the characteristic mantle to which he falls heir, as the successor and vindicator of Weller and G5sh The hour at which this disorganizer made its entre into this breathing world was appro- priate-that hour was night In iniquity it was conceived-in darkness it was brought forth- They seek darkness rather than light, because theirs are deeds of darkness So much for its birth Its cradle shall be rocked in our future numbers.'
 "So much for its birth;' now for the rock ing of fits cradle" Though the Doctor may be practiced performer in the science of ob- tues as a nurse. The skiuaing of the newborn infant which he threatened, and which he act ually performed, was manner of rocking ats cradle that certainly could not have been plea- sant to Woodruff, however much 1t may be commended by Danley as "decent and respect able"
 The following quotation we give as sample of the Doctors respectable qualifications as a rocker of cradles. The "oderiferous old Buck' will remember it well:
 In rendering to another of our Tennessee democratic friends our thanks for his courtesy and good opinion, we would suggest to him that, in addition to our old occupation of skiaa- ming c0o1s, we have now discovered nest of skunks whose destruction, although not quite so nice an operation, 1t Is none the less our de- termination, as 1t Is a democratic duty, to ac- complish. Having been recently driven from certain coon holloa0, called the Gazette" in which they had sought shelter, this .fragrant family have now made their harbor in disor- ganized old shed, formerly known as the Times and Advocate,' but now falsely called Demo- crat,' in order to increase their chances for de- ception and plunder Their chief and most oderterous old buck is known under the appel lation of Wm Z. Wooarg:"
 Doubtless our readers will think that the above two quotations, taken from this paper in the days of its "respectabihty," are sufficient, though we could furnish thousand moro of the same sort from the same pen.
 To understand the "eaklnd cm'' bv which Danley called them to mind, his obligations to Woodruff, the "oderterous old buell." should be remembered. When Daney returned from Mexico, cripple and beggar, Woodruff took him by the hand, adopted him into the skunl Janaily, and pensioned him upon the State a. Auditor of Public Accounts. In this position he sustained him for more than five years, anc then sold him his paper, gave him his patron age, his good will and his recommendation, tha he was "gentleman cf very respectable talents This Woodruff did for Danley, and here we have the return he makes the old man.-a pa negyrc upon Dr. Borlands attacks upon him May Woodruff not truly exclaim-" Oh. save me from my friends.'
