POLITICALLY PROsCRIPTIvE.

Under the above caption the Alexandria
Gazette, Of Wednesday, attempts to give
us the idea of what the Radical newspa-
pers mean by political prescription. Now,
we have high respect for all journals COO
Quoted fairly and honestly but we cannot
believe that the Gazette is honest when it
proclaims that we only mean that we shall
be elected to all the offices, aud be permit
ted to control all public affairs, by our cry
of prescription.
If the Gazette will come out squarely
and tell US that 1t is ignorant of what
political prescription really means, we will
prove to its entire satisfaction, that there
is something of little more importance at
tached to it than the simple refusal of
holding of office.
If your little city is so free from it,

resulted TO the interests of this city, from
