The Registers malicious and unproyokcd att..L
on Mr.. Badger,

The Register of Saturday last contains an att,ct
on the Hon. George E. Badger, which for ;ts o-os. j.
justice and low malignity has excited the disgns,
anu Inauguration OF this community. That paper
/; says:
! "on Thursday, in open Convention, Judge Badoer
offered to "his friend on the right" NV w Tei
DEM by the Printers to the Convention. because
resolution offered by his friend on the RIGHT and
oraered 10 be printed did not state after Il wac
printed, by whom said resolution was offered
Now there is no truth in the foregoing, except
that the name of the delegate who offered the reso
buttons was not printed with them. Mr.. Badger
spoke Of his colleague-not "his friend IN the
right" He did that to distinguish us from Mr. Rot
tie who sits behind u.s. He did not charoe that d.
omission referred to was Intentional. if 81 #
was an insult to the Convention through one of
us members; but he said if the mistake or omis.
sion was the result of nattention or NEGLIGENCE the
PRINTER should he required to print the resolutions
over again without charge; and that if the (,Ierl
was In fault, that officer should be reprimanded-
and, said he, in playful manner-he will Of conrae
consider himself reprmanded, if the fault was his
lnere was nothing discourteous, unkind, or out of
place IN what Mr. Badger said; and for this. so far
as the public knows, he is violently, grossly and
falsely assailed by the Register The truth is tbe
Editor of the Register is filled with malice towards
MI Badger because that gentleman failed to support
him lot convention Printer after he had forfeited
all claim to his support and this will account for
this low and vulgar attack.
Inc idea OF the associate and equal intellectually
o' sucn men as Webster, and Douglas and Critten-
len, playing the part of satellite" to any one
is supremey ridiculous.
Inc heg'ster advises Mr.. Badger to resign his
scat IN the Convention Says that he "has no
earthly weight in that body THAT he is regarded
IS iactlous, troublesome, and demagoguicalr We
lave never seen as much falsehood and malice in f
words. In reply we say we know that Mr.. Rsdosr
occupies as ehViaole position as that occupied by
NY memeer OF the Convention. He never speaks
'itnout being heard with the utmost attention. On
a'uroay last-the day on which the Reqister con-.
aihed tnls gross attack upon hm-he delivered
peech on the proposition to alter the Constitution
U as 70 permit Jews to hold civil Office, which for
'u'pactness oil logic, purity of style, aptness of H.
ana the genuine eloquence of truth, has
" oeen surpassed, if equalled, during the Conyen
vi ana the silence that prevailed during the y
ehvery OF the speech attested the pleasure which :
AFFORDED to his hearers, as well as the high order
intellect which has always characterized the states
an who is so bitterly assaulted by this malicious
urnai Mr. Badger is now, we presume, about 65
Ears OF age He is in the full possession of all hi,
eat mental powers. But if he should live to be
W years old, he would then possess more brains.
ID know how to use them with better effect, than
e Editor of the Register and half dozen of his
ompters ever possessed either in the beginning or
aturity of manhood. p
IL is common remark among the people, that the 'e
gs'er has mended materially in its capacity for a q
school, since it became the equal and colleague Il
'ohn SPelman. Its recent attack on Mr.. Badger &c
cioly illustrates the truth of the above remark az
