ever The REGISTER, with view Of calling
the attention OF the people Of this vicinity
to some grea. public and pressing neces--
sity, has had occasion incidentally to com
n,ent upon the conduc. Of The representa-
tive Of this district, and the prime ipnl
owner Of the Journal press Whether the
material interest Of Mr.. Hubbard in ,his
paper has any influence in debating ia
character of the defence which i. :nvaria-
tle makes, to any charge Of improper con-
duct on tho part Of that gentleman, we
leave its readers to determine, with the
injunction tia, they should bear in mind,
that this Hubbard organ invariably
assumes but cre line Of argument in res
ponse 10 any criticism upon his conduct,
viz: personal and venemous attack up
on the critic. Now however logical and
pleasing such q course may appear TO the
refined tastes Of Hubbard, We npp'ehenl
that something more wi / he necessary to
satisfy his constituents fer having trii...l

In that article, vh:ch has 50 aroused
the ire Of our contemporary, we called
upon the friends aud supporters rs Mr

Of ours, charging tha. the Congressional
action Of this gentleman was in The high.

response? Was il such a enc rs person

not honest enough to confess it, would be

which i: was rendered, but it is otherwise,
