In the Journal of last Friday, there ap-
peared communication over star, in
which the writer. having reference to u.s.
and to the Express, says:
DOUBTLESS, from the arrogant manner
aud over-weenIng egotism exhibited IN ev-
cry line and word Of the article referred
to, The tcTifeT, whether he be the editor OF
the Express. or some one Of his many over
enthusiastic sub rosas, has imagined him
self so sanctified in his political church"
"He is in gross and palpable error as to
the character Of facts he employs TO aid
him in the head-long aud sRUi0us foray he
has been pleased to make upon the posi-
tious and statements of Mr.. voorhees,"
"Let this over Jealous individual, whose
CALLED eyes have so often, doubtless, dis
titled the burning rheum of jealous ankle
~ in search Of something that might serve
to iniure his supeyiOTs-sit down a few mo
ments, that we may reason with hito lit
tle-we think we can humiliate him in his
own eyes"
"Since some man has been put forth for
the Express. to bawl defantly, we now
cram the wi ole matter down his throat"
"But the parvenu political philosopher
who wrote the fustian article IN last Mon
DAYS issue Of the Express. shall have the
benefit Of his admission" DC, DC.
We take the above extracts from the ar
ticle in the Journal, that the reader may
see the character Of the language to which
we are replying. 1t will be noticed in the
first place that the writer insinuates the
editorials which appear in the Express, are
written by "sub rosas" and not the editor.
Secondly, that we are enUioas Of Mr. Vcor
hees. Thirdly, that from our "galled eyes
is distilled the burning rheum Of jealous"
that We are IN "seafch OF something to
ipjure ou- sHPeriOTs," and fourthly, that we
are 'parvenu editor" aud write ''fustian
articles" Of course, when we first read
this article, so bitterly denunciatory of us
and Of the Express, we had some desire to
know, who the unmanly fellow was, that
over an assumed character would thus
write in relation to US. We admire bold,
independent. open foe We rather like TO
shiyer lance with such IN one. But the
writer who hides behind a cover and then
fires his missiles. no difference how point
less they may be, has our individual and
particular contempt. We desired TO know
the man who would shield himself behind
IN assumed name. and in his fsncied Sc
eurity speak in snch oPProbrious terms OF
.-~.L.- W. f.ff uroacv N Enow WIN
in this community, would write and have
published about another, that to which
he had not the manly courage to pat his
name.
We therefore addressed note TO the ed
itor Of the Journal desiring him to give
the name of the author Of the article in his
paper Of Friday, and after waiting three
days, we received the following from Mr.
Cookery:
"B. w Hanna. Esq is de author Of The

ageous gentleman, who attacks over an
