point Of all the tender and sore pontsin Mr. Rayners
history for the last ten years How glad he would
be if the public would only become confused and
mystifed on the subject, and blame Mr. Barringer
good deal and himself just little -how elated, if
+ he could sink the whole matter forty fathoms down
in the depths Of the sea! The Standard has moth
ing to apprehend from such threats. This a ghost
story this foul libel on the character of the coun-
try-this base imputation on the Democratic party,
uttered for effect by demagogues, and persisted in
up to the last moment by Mr.. Rayner and others,
and which will no doubt be used hereafter at least

The charge of the STAR in the above extract, that
Mr.. Campbell owes temporal alleg lance to the Pope,
-
Thus perishes this base. calumny against Presi-
dent Pierce and the Democratic party. 1t may have
had some little effect in this State in the recent cleo
tons; but thanks to the virtue and intelligence of
the peoples out of the circle of sworn Know-Nota-
ing slaves and their naughty masters, it was mem
toned in the canvass only to be despised 80 =. "
The Star, it seems, is 'salarmed" -" because the
Nuncio is said to have heard first that Mr.. Camp
bell was appointed, and because the said Nuncio
was gratified at the appointment Why, what of
it? There is a daily mai! from Paris to Madrid
the Nuncio may have received the intelligence one
day, and Mr. Barringer the next; for Mr. Barringer,
be it observed, does not state when it he heard
from the United States The Nuncio was gratified

the man? Ought he to have groaned about it, and
told Mr.. Barringer he was sorry9 Were not the

Secretary of the Navy? Were not the Methodsts

Maryland gratifed to know that the Know Nothings
of Louisiana have rejected the religious test, and

We re publish below, the letter of Mr.. Barringer
to Mr. Ellis; and we again call upon Mr.. Rayner to
publish the mhole of Mr.. Barringers letter of the
6th and upon the Register and Star to lay this let

pontment of Postmaster General Campbell.
1t is due to myself to state that the entire letter
would have been originally published by me, had it
not contained reference to some correspondence be-
tween Messrs. Barringer and Rayner, which did not
concern me, nor bear upon the facts in issue, and
I which therefore it was not, in my Judgment proper
for me to publish. .-...-5 = -. i. .,
