former honest adherence to truth and honor.

 Mir. Byrd, of Pulaski county rose in his place several times, and pledged himself to vote for the loluest bidder, and still voted against us. For him there IS no excuse. We leave him in the hands of his constitu- ents, with whom. if we mistake not, he :.sin find it difficult to reconcile this matter. But MT. Williamson, of Pope county, President of the Council--(an office which lily befits him, and for which he was indebt- ed to mere chance--a combination of cir cunstances)- he who before and since his election,has exhibited hemost praiseworthy mildness, and freedom from all partizan teeling-mixed 1t is true with a little du- plicity-he who professes to act with an eye single to the public veal, and to feel no political anger or political pre]udice-he who gave the casting vote, and thereby de- cided that Woodruffacas notc suifabieperso,, to print the Messages of tue Gouermor-he who goes for the people, the whole people, and nothing but the people-he, too, voted against the ioaoest bidder, and thereby in- creased the taxes of the people of the Ter ritory, which already weigh upon us too heavily. Will the Hon. President explain to the public, the precise difference in the quantity of honor and honesty, which is ne- cessary to fit man to print the Messages of the Governor or the Journals and Laws of the Assembly? It seems that in his scale of mental excellence, one may be possessed of an abundance of honesty sui ficient to fit him for the latter, while he may be m no wise proper person to intrust with the former. His honorable colleague, MT. Garrett, is entirely excuseable for the vote he gave on that occasion He had not brains enough to ascertain which of the two bids was the lowest.

 Nor are these the only members we might mention-but we leave them for lutufe tlme. lher day shall come. For the present, let them, as we'll as those we have mentioned, worship their Delegate, at whose nod they speak and vote.

 For the printing we care not.-We can live without 1t. For those men who, fright ened into servility by the frowns of their despot, have broken their sacred honor, we have no feelings but scorn and contempt. Fer those who believed If any there were) that they were voting for the lowest bidder, when voting for Woodruff--for the imbe cile and degraded tools of an ambitious and intriguing man-pity, nothing but pity.- For their leaders, we have the most soye- reign soorn ana superlative contempt. We thank them for this solemn mockery. It will open the eyes of the people. Let the people judge.
