pleascs the editor Of the Columbia Register,
| who is evidently determined not to be
p'eascd with any act Of the President that
| is not in full accord with the wishes Of the
Columbia wing. The great aim of that paper
| appears TO be to antagonize every fair and
honest effort calculated to heal the breach
and restore harmony in the Democratic
ranks. 1t has hoistcd q standard of political
demands, formulated and promulgated out

him as one of the most notorious chronic
grumblcrs and soreheads in the county, or,

contracted views OF public affairs, think is
right aud should be done. Send us the let
ter, Nox and let us know from wha, direC-
ton it came. While we make it rule not
10 answer cowardly assaults Of anonymous
scribblers, we would like 10 know from what
direction we may expect the blow 10 come.
