raE EVENING" ARGUS

THE EVENING" ARGUS
Sichtbefure last too late for notice, came
down upon US, and delivered itself in quite
oreditabte way offs diets cfand concerning the
InteiiiSeuecr., The Argus on flush mail days is
quite readable paper, generally containing the
lates,lea3er OF the Richmond Enquirer, together
with theliappiest hits of the Washington Union
and thepennsylyanian. Tuesday, however, as
al OF US know, brings a light MIDI on account of
the san lay Suspension. Oar Main street contem-
porsry yAs therefore without his usual advices,
and OF course, the paper having to appear, must
he fllc lsoms way brother. So our eoatempora-
~, with that sshnndred eyed instinct for which
his fabulous "anteccdent, wasnoted, casts about
toT something OF interest ard sure enough finds in
the lntelligencer and Times some themes for
lucuerstion. So at us he comes, giving ourselves
the Lion share of his notice. Thus far only,
however, the Lionism of hisnotice extends, and
as Cardinal Richeaicu, in the person OF Mr.. Rob-
erts night before last, said, he 'eked out the
balance with the skin of the fox, )" and common
ccs snuflng gale 1far OF. We can see him
with his hundred eyes" what sight , intently
fixed upon the future, and without turning his
head he in, o!unta,Ey, with lis right h, nc cenl-
menccs turning heleaves of his Bible and rests
his finger on 'nenc, meme, tekel, upharsin"
But tefcreiwe proceed further we shall give
cur readers the sum total of the Argus diyina-
tons, dividing it OF for convenence into firstly,
secondly, thirdly and fourthly. l<t as to how
Its "hundred eyes, were deceived for once:
"When read the salutatory of our neigh
bOrS of the Iatsiiigencer we thought, and so said
10 our readers that it would be conducted on
the plan usual to neutral papers We have,
however, had evidences, produced by that pa
per itself 20 convince US that we were mistaken
in our opinion, and that it now becomes disa-
greeable task with us 10 rctract it. Each sue
ceSSive issue since it has changed editors evin-
ceS ;he design 10 convert it into q black repub.
rIrySE SlzIIs-e~ls s....-aottr-
Dangerous, because under the assumed name of
Independent II prOpagates free soil doctrines"
To this firstly, we mSke answer as follows:
As lar as our acquaintance with the Argus has
extended, We never yet remember to have no.
ticcd il it one single hbcralitem. 1t has always

ports TO De news paper, yet one who could so
perfectly forget the province of ae.os paper,
would almost forget the English alphabet in

have, and if we have not we are sorry for IT. q
FoHl above partisan bigotry, or of being tho or
gan of any moderation whatever. Now we will
compare notes, or, if our neigh5or please, a di.
gest Of all that has appeared in the two papers.
and if we have not extracted from an equal Num-
Der of diversified papers we will yield the qucs-
ton. ~
Here then we come to the second count in
which our contemporary avows his honesty and
quotes Daniel against US: sl
I'VE not actuatcd By Improper motives
when we mako this assertion, and as proof of
what re say the reader is referred to the three
columns OF reading matter that was circulated in
this community this morning by the Intelligen.

Pszsetitt treatment Of sLapsry need not proph-
cts wisdom in reader to understand them
Nov we have always heard the old adage, that
honest men never need to preface any statement
with an assertion of their honesty. We don'tpar-
ticuarly doubt our contemporaries honesty, but
attribute it all to zeal which he has, and wheth-
err according to knowledge or not, We leave for
our readers to judge. In reference to the pieces
which he quotes we simply say, that the first
was written by gentleman whose party pre-
affections we know nothing of-who is an entire
stranger to us; but whose letter, and that was
sufficient for us to know, contained matters of
interest to Ourreaders. The second piece, Judge
@mpson's charge, was of our own selection,
~hich we supposed, and itso turned out,
