IN THE OLD RICK

Inc Intethgencer canEot understand how IL ia
thst the STAR favors the adoption by the
South of the Constitutional amendment on the
one hand. and on the other takes sround
against the proposed action by Congress in
the matter OF impeachment. This is precisely
where the STAR and the InteHigencer differs.
Inc STAR maintains an independent posi-.
uon, where 4: can discuss national
arairs with an impartiality that entities
It's utterances to some consideration The
IHfettigeneer Is so entirely partizau, 80
committed to the copperhead ruck that it fol-
lowed 50 faithfully throughout the war, that
NOBODY expects II TO hazard an independsn,
opinion on any subject. Its readers EXPECT
nothing better from is each morning than
repetition OF the same old tune-the same
roEtIne enumeration Of old worm eaten politica,
Cogmas, and the same senseless abuse of Con.
gress Hence the growing disfavor with which
mat paper Is hello here. The community feels
that II cannot afford to have the pestilent con.
Perhead utterances OF that paper counted
against 1t. IL is felt that lust such
uteTanees as these by the InteUlgencer have
served TO convey the idea that this enure COM
munity is as unpatriotle as itself, q belief on
the part Of Congress that has cost this District
millions of dollars, and has been at the bottom
OF much OF the adverse legislation by Congress
against Us This munity, and especially
Its active business men, are showing In the
most unmistakable manner their determine
ton TO repudiats any sympathy whatever
with the mischie yous course of the Inteltoenc.r
This fact accounts for the spleen of that paper
against the STAR.
