The communication which follows and which
bears neither date nor signature, is unfortunately
too long for insertion in our columns: otherwise
we should republish it entire We attach thus
much consequence to it, not only on account of
the high consideration with which The C,urier
O. Eaquiyey regards its statement Of tacts bp+
because we think we have in the matter and man
ner of the article itself sufficient and e,tisec,or
clue to IFS aim and authorship If &c os ro have

city who, while publicly affectino 70 desniso tbe
press and all its utterances, has never scrnnIad
privately to make use of its facilities either for
attack or defense, whenever his own interests
prompted, and its ANONYMOUS character furnished
a safe or desirable shield from responsibility Tho
evident drift and purpose of the article give even

whole of the intelligent and respectable portion of
the press of the country Republican as we'll as
Democratic, had stigmatised and denounced in
terms Of just severity the frauds and ouranes that
attended our recent State and Congressional Elec
ton, and which, it was universally conceded.
rendered its result mockery and a nullitv.
Under such circumstances, no doubt was en-
tertained but that the House of Renre-
sentatives would exclude both Mr.. DAVIS and
Mr.. HARRIS from the seats so iniquitously
obtained. Mr.. DAVIS, however is and we think
deservedlv a GREAT fayorite with tha Ranrb1icors
