Esy- The editor of the hountda Echo,
acting undoubtedly on the old saying,
that . lie well stuck to is as good as the
truth, reasserts the charge that Mr..
kEY made the assertion, that the Loyal
Lcaguers Of the present day were respon-
sible for the crucidxion Of the Saviour.
We made explanation Of the remarks of
the gentleman alluded to, in former
number, and they were substantially cor
rect and we do not wish aud are not dis
posed TO waste further time on the sub
ject. The Echo Editor gets happy over
a blunder that appeared in oar article
"falsc mis-. statement" The word " "mis y
was marked out in proof, but in the hur
ry Of getting to press was overlooked /;
errors Of this kind, occasionally occur
with lis and must be overlooked. The
Echo, we must infer is gotten up correctly
in ereTy respect, at least our time is too
much engaged 10 look for its failings in
this respect, il any it has. The Editor
says lie was the author of the article in
question, which we charged was written
BY gentleman then in this city. If we
were allowed to drag in the names ofpri-
vate individuals, to this controversy we
should leave the inflated "eas bag that
presidcs over the Echo in no very cnvi-
able light He knows as well as we do,
that he never penned line of the article,
But why all this great indignation ex-
pressed by the No,mtam Echo Loyal

doubt for a moment, that If men, Loyal

Some Of the actors in this scene walk
hand in hand with SAMUEL BARD about
Washington county, little thinking a day
Of retribution will some day overtake
them
Men connected with the Loyal League
have committed deeds in Arkansas, that
would have made the devil blush and the
cruciiers Of The Saviour hang their heads
with shame, TO have witnessed.
The acts Of the Lcaguers in this part
Of the State stinks in the nostrels of all
good men and the less the MoaHaia

| DIsGRACING PATRIoTlsM-Thc New
York HeroN is disgusted with the late
proceedings at Arlington, which placed
guard over the graves of dead Confcd-
crates, to prevent a flower or tear be
ing dropped upon their tombs. The Her
aid says:
"That officer Of marines who so out
ragcd all the deccncies of humanity at
Arlington perhaps thought he was in
some way commenting himself for great
zeal to the powers that be and either he
has q most unjustifablc opinion Of those
powers, or it is bad omen for the coun-
try if they are to be pleased in that way.
Does this functionary reflect the views
that prevailed near headquarters 4? Is it
possible that we cannot see how to be
patriots without being brutes? Is it pos
siblc that our respect for a great cause
requires Us to exercise q mean sUporvis-
ion over the actions and thoughts Of
those whose sorrows differ from ours in
their direction Is this horrible tyranny
of q majority to go into the sacred do
main of the grave, too, and shall no one
be gricyed over, or mourned with senti-
mental usage ifhe happened to be wrong ?
Shame on the zeal that pursues a quarrel
beyond the grave. In the United States
Of America freedom has been much
crampcd for some time, but we have al
ways desired to believe that it was only
necessarily SO, Permit US men in author
