It's best 70 repe is very properly taken to task By
correspondent of superior candor aud intelli-
sence, who earnestly demonstrates against the
chasing of The Times with The TRIBUNE 10 prin-

"no past" no reverence" no conservatism" ="
"no regard for institutions "-thOse of a "pe-
"culiar" character Of course being here delicstely
suggested. He goes on to say:
"Now, Sirs ! believe The TsVes to be altogether
different Although opposed it in lie efforts for the
election of Mr. Fremont, nevertheless then believed
and do still believe that il understands aud appre-
ciaes the value Of our various settled relations as
having such roCs in the principles and nsttulon OF
Christianity az forbid TO measure them merely by
any standard If individual wisdom ntelcctu atty;

conservative; and, upon this knowledge OF ITS charac

This correspondent is shrewdly guessing at what
every body else fully understands. The Times is
leasued, body and soul with the enemies of the
Republican party, which it is doing its sly utmost
10 dlsorganize and destroy. simultaneously with
the appearance of the above in the State organ Of
Sbam Democracy, The Times had leader on
"The Slavery Agitation" designed to chow that
Republicanism was "played out'-that it had no
more grievance nor purpose to live upon-that
the notion of prohibiting by law slaveholding in the
Territories had been given up-that the South
had ceased to expect or desire the practical exten.
sion of Slavery-that almOst every body is on the
Popular Sovereignty platform, and the rest are
rapidly getting upon it-that the Dred Scott de.
csion though disked, is not regarded as of much
practical account-and that

the abstract right Of the stakeholder to bring his
slaves into Northern State, may be asserted tus

--lIow under the sun solemn Judicial decision
that Shareholders have legal right to bring their

Slavery, is to be regarded as purely theoretical,

our comprehension. Why, the question arises un.

But never mind. From the day that The Times
began TO banker for Cuba, Mexico aud laud-grabs
generally we knew whittier its Manifest Des-
"tDy" was leading it. The Sham Democracy
recognized the signal, and have eagerly responded
to it. 1ae Times in our late canvass was their
most effective mouthpiece, never missing an oppor-
tunity to give them quiet lift or the Republicans
smiling stab. And, since Mr.. Morgan has poled
in our City II $40 votes for Governor against the
l7.7.i esst for Fremont On the heavier poll two
years ago, when be bad the support not only OF
The Times but Of The Herald, now also arrayed

as it survived their favor, Will ou!.ive also their
opposition.
