There is passage in Shakespeare, which, by an


alteration Of two words, gives correct description
of the editorial character of hottempered little
man down town, who has lately received com
mission from Governor, who, we suppose, has
acted on the old proverb, that one good turn de-
serves another" The passage, altered, reads
thus.
Sammy Harker aspeaks an Infinite deal OF
4 nothing, more than any man IN all" WiiminStoh
his reasons are as two grains OF wheat hid IN two
bnsbels If chatf: YOU shall seek all day ere you
find them and when you have them, they are not
worth the Search


we nerceiye by the Delaware Gazette OF Tues
dsy last. that Mr.. Harker is very much enraged
at us on account Of our exposition oil ms ncpnss-
tency as shown in his former opinion OF Gen Jack
son and his present support OF "Old HICKORY,
In the overflowings of his malice towards U.S. Mr.
Harker has broken through all the bounds OF de
cency and truth, and we cannot degrade ourselves
by STOPPING to combat with him with the weapons
which he uses.
We have the paper of which we speak," ant
we have shown it to number OF sentiemeh' aho
some Of them Mr. Harker's intimate acqualntances
for whose opinion he entertains high regard
and all of them agree that we have not mlsrepre
sented Mr.. Harker's opinion of Gen. jackson, a.
EXPRESSED by him in his Gazette of Nov |, 1892
In the Gazette Of that date Mr.. ila,ker does
after expressly mentioning that Mcssrs. Clay
Clinton, Jackson, Adams, Calhoun, and Crawford
were candidates for the Presidency, make use Q
the following language:


nof ALL the gentlemen named, Gen. Jackson appear
to us to be the MOST OBJECTIONABLE That he
man Of energy, will doubt, but we thinS INA
in chief magistrate of the United States, too much er
eryyn extremely dangerous; AND ve have seen in II

TRAMPLE ON THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS. whe
they stood in competition with HIS OWN INTEREST
FEELINGS, a. should render the citizens of the Unite


States vry cautious about placing him in the first ofc
within their gift"


Now we insist upon it, that unless Mr.. Harker'
ALL can be construed to mean ONLY pAR
Of the aforementioned six candidates tor the Of
fee Of President, we have not been guilty OF mis-
representing his language. But to put this matte
at rest we challenge Mr.. Harker to republish tn
article Of Nov l, 1922, which has given rise to IN
dispute in question. We shall wait to see wheti
er he will comply with this reasonable request,
I he does not we shall be compiled to give il plac
