The "Iutelligencer says sit is true that now tor
the first time, this agitation threatens to be source
Of weakness to the National Democracy" And
,bereupon it seems TO wink and smile significantly
while says again. "bu We are oath to believe mar
partizan considerations have wrought change IN
the convictions Of our contemporary which patriotic
devotion to the peace and harmony Of the country
bas hitherto been unable 10 produce We were not
aware that the agitation Of the slavery question: ust
a, this time was so highly hazardous to the National
Democracy. But admitting that it il 30 1t must con-

The dignity, cour,esy and generosity which have
avsr characterized the intercourse Of that journal with
its contemporaries are contradictory to any such cup
position. And yet what other construction Willis
souivocal compliment admit We willingly conceds
.;n,srity and candor to the 1ntelligencer. but we
mus, be allowed also to claim due portion for our
calves.
