The Democratic c candidate for State
Senator is not p eased with what we
have, in the conscientious discharge of
u duty, found it necessary to say of
him IN this paper. This is painful but
not surprising. The fact is we have
not consulted Mr., Hubbeu with refer
ence to what we should publish and
have neither desiredeor attempted to
catersto his wishes, His relations to
the Republicanepart during the last
eighteen months have been such as we
supposed relieved US from that formal-i
fty, whatever obligations his position
prior to that time asa sapient and con-
sistent expounderof Republican prin-
eiples may have imposed upon us.
But it seems we have been mistaken
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Hu~bbelLhas attested his devotion to
the Democracy by tears of anguish
over the martyrdom of VaIIandigham
and the untimely capture of ''Presi-
dent" Davis, Notwithstanding he has
for full eighteen months identified
himself as a fun communicates among
the faithful and unterrifea of the Dem
oeratic church, it seems he still bears to
the Republican party the relation of
one

This may seem a little dogmatic on
Hubbell's part, or rather to suggest
that rare faculty, only possessed by a
certain class of politicians, which en-

both. We will not stop to. discuss this
latter proposition. The impossibilitv
of compliance with the condition last
named places it, in this instance,
wholly out of the case. It is only with
Mr.. HubbelI's assumed censorship
over this paper that we have now to
do, and more especially the manner in
which he has chosen to exercise it.
In this connection and as a part of
the current history of these eventful
times we quote the following, which
we fndaset forth this week inthe col
umns Of the Herald, a paper supposed
to be Mr. Hubbel's personal organ.
