as q typographical error nor as one arising mere
ly from the use of the word by instead Of for;
aud that we acknowledge no such error as that
to which he " first alluded" We never said,
and we defy him to select such sentence from
the REPORTER, that such sentiment as that
conveyed by the sentence above alluded to in
consequence of installing the word by instead
Of for did not appear in few numbers of the
REPORTER. We said no such appeared in the
number of the REPORTER which was before us.
But he was pretending that an enormously
great error and objectionable blunder ;"
had appeared in the columns of the REPoRTER
Verify he thought he had espied mountain,
but it proved TO be only molehill
But he says he has now dropped the further
consideration Of that nonsensical article. We
think if he has shown any better sense in his
long-strained articles about so insignificant a
matter, either in regard to the quantity he has
written or in what he has said, it would not be
easy to perceive it.; and if he has not got value
received for all his labor and pains, it ought to
suggest TO him the propriety of counting the
cost next time before he begins the work. He
expresses, however, his fears that We shall
g have the last word" We are sorry he should
take any trouble to himself for this reason, but
we reserve to ourselves when attacked the priv
iege to decide for ourselves when we shall cease
to repel the attacks
We would yet remind him of his contempti-
BILE, but puny attempts at personalty;-c
temptible because he attempts to attack others
personally, while skulking himself behind an
irresponsible fictitious name. If he has the
depravity to delight in such dark deeds, it would
certainly have appeared more manly and less
dishonorable to have done SO openly over his
own signature.
But he may rest assured that all such at
tempts are wholly disrcgarded, and are noticed
here only to call attention to the principle by
which they are actuated.
And yet the Sentinel, too, apparently anxious
for the fate of his man Friday" comes out in
the same number on this subject in his defence
He seems fearful that g Friday is about to be
demolished, and hastens to his rescue with his
accustomed rusty panoply of opprobrious cpl
thets. Here are some of them "a poor con
temptible subterfugc," honest editor, ," F" little
ness of the editor" I" contemplate Sheet" al
of which come almost in juxtaposition. Well
such weapons and such armor carry very lttl'
terror to any one, and consequently excite littl,
concern in us. We have known persons be
ore, whose only ability was discovered to lie II
the copious use of abusive epthets, and the call
ing of hard names, but few his equal.

A Great Deal Of Wind about Nothing

" Alistides, the Seniinel's " man Friday is
out again about our paragraph in which the
word bJ had inadvertently been substituted in
stead of for, in the following sentences " 1t
shows that great injustice has been done Capt
Dupont for the action of the Naval Board >
Instead of for in this sentence, originally in a
few numbers of the REPORTER, the word by had
been inserted. As we told him in a former
number that we designed tn express sympathy
for both Capt. Dupont and the retired officers
Of the Army, and then stated the reason for il,
we can perceive no other sentence except this,
which expresses any sentiment to which ra-
tional objection could be made.
But he now alleges that we said " in order to
make the sentence read senslbly it only re-
quired the substitution of the word bg instead
of for" Here it is to be observed is another
error of his own, in attributing to us what we
did not say, but the very contrary. We said it
required the restoration of the word for instead
OF By IN order to convey our meaning, and not
By instead Of for, as he alleges. What an Aris-
tides this is! lie is putting and blowing in
every number about what he calls an error in
the REPORTER, and yet in the very act of doing
SO, he is guilty Of the identical one himself, viz
a misapplication in the use of the propositions
By and for
He asks us also why the paragraph was cut
ooMu Hoih lMehty 10 Hali uoleH llleS' IL
will be remembered that he said himself Or the
Sentinel for him, that the alteration was made
by g a friendly reader - and we before told him
twas done in our absence, and that we had
never seen the proof sheet. lie ought therefore
most certainly to have known that we had no
hand in its alteration whatever and conse-
quentiy that it was not for US. to prevent any
form to which it might be reduced under such
circumstances.
He further remarks That we now say that
the error was typographical one, or intimate
as much" And he then asks why, if this
were the case, we did not acknowledge our err
ror when he FIRST alluded to ID. We answer
him by saying, that he never before alluded to il

not elected by the people, but he nevertheless
enjoyed the entire emoluments of the office
during a whole term, except single month.
1t would therefore appear almost like pre-
sumption in his friends to have brought him
forward for second term, especially while there
are so many able and worthy men in the coun-
try who have not had the benefit of trial for
one term.
From consideration of all these circum-
stances, and also of the fact that his own party
have another candidate in the field; and when,
too, Mr.. BUcHANAN's claims, $50 far as candi-
date can have claims to the ofice,) and his great
popularity throughout the country are consider
ed it looks very doubtful whether Mr., FILLMORE
will receive the electoral vote of single State.
We could never believe fully that he would
accept the nomination which had been tender
ed to him in his absence, until we saw his
declaration in regard to it. This incrcduli-
ty on our part arose from the consideration
that, although it had been so often assertt that
he was Know Nothing, yet we could not
but doubt the truth of it, that man occupy
ing the position which lie had in the world
would descend TO such an act or consent to be.

ROBERT w. REYNOLDS,
President Of The last County Meeting

A FOREIGN 0RGAN.-We have always felt
convinced that Know Nothingism was a foreign
influence in disguise The fact appears so in
diapntaLia in the.isaaao-ol the Sesssael Of thia
town on the Goth inst, that we believe no per-
son can longer doubt the devotionsof that little
Sheet to foreign intrigues. BY its extracts from
other papers Of its own political caste, we find
it commencing in high terms Review pub
lished in Scotland, and making extracts from
that Foreign British Paper in favorof the Know
Nothing party of the United States. Has it come
to this that political party of the United States
can go over to monarchical Europe to find its
advocates and applauders Yet in this town
we have indisputably this thing done, and done,
too, by an Organ which is crying out all the
time g Foreign Influence" as a watch signal for
prescribing the victims of tyranny and the ad-
mirers of our free institutions, who, fleeing from
tyrannical oppression and renouncing all allie
glance to every foreign government, have sought
protection and refuge among us.
Delaware State reporter., 1856-06-27

MEssRs. EDITORs.-I see in the Gazette of the
Goth instant card over the signature Of Ma
thaniel Williams stating that he did not APP
prove of the proceedings of the Democratic
meeting held at Blackbird on the 7th inst
The public was aware that our proceedings ex-
pressly states that there was one dissenting
voice.
Now, the sum and substance Of the matter is
simply this, that this said Natty Williams came
to Blackbird on the morning of the 7th inst. as
one of the Judges of the Sheriffs' and Coroners
nominating election, with his plans for delegates
to the State Convention all concocted. 1t anus
ed me to see them sticking out, and his attempt
to hide them, before the election opened,
proposed that the persons present organize and
appoint committee, the usual course on such
occasions, to nominate five delegates to the meet
ing for their consideration, and if approved to
elect, according to a resolution of the County
meeting, by ballot. Natty opposed this plan
He said let everybody vote for who they

determined to give the meeting the shape of ar
| organized body, and Richard Ferguson moved
that John Townsend be appointed Chairman
and to show Williams that / was disposed tC
take no further notice of his attempted trick,
moved the meeting appoint him, the said vii
liams, Secretary-an honor that he accepted
without murmur Then the committees were
appointed, and | introduced resolutions anc
read them, and on the motion to adopt, Natty
voted no. They were adopted.
He, the said Natty, then said that the resolu
tions ought to have been brought up in the at
ternoon when greater numbers were out
told him we could not wait the organization o
the meeting until afternoon, but that would
bring the resolutions up again later in the day
as nothing would please me better than to real
them to the whole party, and accordingly, |!
minutes before six, when the greatest number
were present, | re-read them, and they were b.
by reclamation re.adopted. But mind, thi
Natty, after setting as Secretary of the meeting
in the morning, and therefore was bound to hav
acquiesced in the proceedings, did, after tn
committee had reported the names for delegates
and after the meeting had acquiesced in tn
nominations and whilst setting as Judge, writ
and circulate, as a disorganizer, another ticket
And further, the said Natty, as soon as tn
polls were read out, left for home, without, a
any honorable man should have done, signin
his name to the proceedings.
The expressed wishes of the Democracy {
Appointments Hundred are not to be stihe
by the exit Of any discounted Secretary.

QuERY.-W Whether the publication of Judge
McLEANs letter by our independent neighbour
the Milford Beacon, rejecting upon the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, which is sustained
by the Democratic party; and attributing the
unhappy state of affairs in Kansas, which the
Emigrant Aid Society has been chiefly instru-
mental in bringing about, to that truly republic
can measure, does not exhibit complexion
somewhat partizan? Would it not be as fair
to publish Judge DOUGLAS speech at the Phila-
delphia Ratification Meeting?

FURTHER FROM KANSAS ST.. LOUIS, June %.
"A letter published by the Republican, dated
Westport, June 18th, says that Col Sumner
has put the principal roads leading to Kansas
under blockade and has also driven out of the
Territory, Baford, Jones, Shelby, and other
leading Missourians.
Another letter from Kansas City, dated June
10th, says that Col. Sumner intends to arrest
every person under indictment in Kansas, and
declares that neither Lane or any other armed
person shall enter the Territory excepting over
his dead body.
An attempt was made on the night of the
18th to assassinate the new Deputy Sheriff of
Douglas county, The Sheriff shot one of his
assalants dead, when the others fed.

SECRET ARMS. Senator Wilson, of Massa.
chusetts, has procured rifle with three feet
barrel, disguised as walking cane, which he
carries with him constantly, even into the SEN
ate Chamber, ready loaded and capped. Why
does not MIR Wilson carry the weapon openly
He might as well display his rifle as tell people
he has it concealed. These Abolition Senators
seem determined TO Guido the Brookses in
bullyism. But they merely buster and talk
ferociously so that there is not much danger OF
Mr.. Wilson reducing the number of Southern
citizens. A very small cemetery will suffice
to bury his dead What terrible fellows these

The Washington correspondent of the Jour.

The Washington correspondent Of The jour
nal Of Commerce says
1.-The evil of choice OF President and Vice
President by Congress- is much to be depreca-
ted. But, in case the election of President be
devolvcd on the House, it scertain that either
Mr.. Buchanan must be chosen, or there can be
no choice by that body. II follows that after
the Sd of March, when the term Of the House
expires, the Vice President elect will be the
President for the next four years. Who will
be the Vice President elect Z Why, Breckin
ridge, of course, because the majority Of the
Senate choose the Vice President, from the two
highest, and the Democratic majority of tho
Senate is now very large.
