Our FRIEND JONES' 40 pfeIaCo
what VIC have to say with most ex-
csllen. stereotyped expression" we
have no desire to enter into a protract-
cd newspaper controversy; such being
counter to our taste and inclination,
but justice to the dearly bought and
well paid for reputation, which this
sheet enjoys in the two hemispheres
AZ well as upon this Insignificant con-
tinent of North America (no disres-
pect to the star spangled banner) re-
quires that we should come out and
deny in emphatic words and forcable
language the proposition, Of our friend
and fellow citizens, Jones, in yester-
dsy mornings issue Of the Gazette.
Jones 10 pleased there to say, in an
swer to small communication which
appeared in the issue ofthis paper of
the day before wherein, he, jones
ia asked politely by the writer to tell
this bewildered and politically fuddl.
ed community where be stands-on
what platform and under what king !"
We say 10 answer to this; Jones comes
directly at US, with an insinuation that
tDe are the authorSof the aforesaid
three star epistle." Hear what he,
Jones says:
"A pretended communication hav-
ing appeared in tho Comet, which is
calculated to lead to SOME wrong in
ference if not replied to at once, the
junior proprietor of the Gazette who
has charge Of the mechanical depart
ment Of that sheet, begs leave to make
a formal announcement of his platform
and preference in the present political
campaign. The subject has caused
him a tremendous amount of anxiety,
as hs fully appreciates the huge crisis
which has arrived and the importance
Of calling to the helm Of State the best
talents and experience the country
affords and having duly deliberated,
be now avows his answering determi.
nation to support Bottle Green Jones
and the editor Of his organ, for Presi-
dent and Vice President Of the United
States"
This is clear this is satisfactory.
Jones, is now formally in the ranks Of
4 party" where virtue is not left to
find its own reward but is reward
cd, by being taken by the hand and led
up to place, comfortable and agree
able to sit in according to the actual
deeds Of virtue.
Jones is safe now, and we dare say
the author Of the epistle which called
him out, will be satisfied and rest con.
tented. If the Artesian party which
has engrafted upon its platform the
principles Of the Chinese Peace Socie.
~, has not fusive properties of suffici
ent capacity to bring into ranks, the
Old Line Wings; The New Line Demo
Gratis; Know Nothings-in.fact, and
the XXX; to save the Constitution
and the Union; then 10 party in the ma
tion, has. The Artesian, issthe only
purely national party and Jones (B

There is to be grand ratification
