Richmond Examiner.

The editor of the Richmond Examiner
in very ''unprovoked and ill-natured" ar
ticle, opens his criticisms Of para graph that
appeared in the indicator, as follows:
eve, Of course, sappose that if the edi-
tor Of the indicator wishes to make an
offensive personal attack upon the editor Of
the Examiner be will do so directly, and
not by hint or sheer or inuendo. We GER
tainly cannot be drawn into an interchange
Of personal reflections in tie newspapers
The public is, il our own view, too little in
terested In such matters to be any fit arbiter
between men who wish to injure one auoth :
er, either by quarrel Or more serious means. y
The pretext for this ebulition of a bellig-
erent temper is a paragraph that appear
ed in the Vindtcatos last week, and which
reads as follows:
"The Richmond Eeamiaer, with de-
gree of fairness remarkably comm endable
in these troublous times, lets the world
know that there are three papers published
in Missouri which support Douglas; while
the ST. louis Herald communicates the in
tell;gcnce that there are thirty-fyc out Of
forty five Democratic papers already an
nounced for Douglas and johnson 1t
would look equally as well if the Eramiuer
would give both sides Of .Le story. Faii
play is jewel"
The correction of the statement alluded
to above, which appeared Ia the E.raminer
escaped our notice. We, however, chal-
lense any one who is dispos5a to pass al
impartial judgement, to discover the least
intimation in this paragraph of desire on
our part to make au offensive personal at
tack upon the editor of the Euanainer. p
If such had been ous purpose we should
certainly cot have sought TO ''reach d.
rection by indirection" Ii seems 10 us;
too, if the editor Of the Enausi,scy had
thought our intehtion was such, that j,
would have been more proper to have as.

in regard to the matter, which, from the al.

The sudden conversion of Mr.. Russell
from his friendship for Judge Douglas to a
relation Of embittered animosity, occasioned
by his sensitive regard for the interest OF
slavery, does not well comport With the posi-
ton of hostility he assumed ID l849 to The
celebrated address Of John G. Calhoun,
which made its appearance in that year,
warning the South of the aggressive spirit
Of Northern Abolitionism. Mr. Russell was
then Wing candidate for Congress, and
attacked with great yehemenoe this address.

rately, (NIr. RusselIs colleague at Charles

sed to permit his name to be used again for

of Mr.. Russell, a:nrtf succeeded in defeating
that gentleman by the vote Of Preston coun-
ty, where the discussion took place. Now

tional Democratic ticket" when in re-
aIity il is nothing more nor less than a
Douglas ticket. 1t is supported princi-
.Tally at>the North, and its strength at
the South consists simply in the diver
sion Of a few votes from the regular
Democracy and their transfer to Bell
and Everett. There are many who hon
cStly support Douglas and intend to
vote for him, but On the day of election
let them look out for tickets headed

Douglas leaders have been trying to
sell out to the Bell party, but were not
considered worth the purchase money.
They are cXasperatcd against the Breck-
inridge Democracy, and although kicked
out of doors with their fusion project
by the Bell men, they will use every
cXcrtion to beat the party that first
kicked them out of its ranks. We are
only abiding to the leaders, not the
masses who support Douglas. Let hess
look to their tickets on election day, or
they may find themselves sold to tho
Bcllitcs, without either their knowledge
