Marx what! That the Banner" is needless
how or concerning whom i, makes an assertion.
If it means to insinua,e that we are concerted
with o,hers, secretly 10 work out our ends. the
insinua,ion is gratui,ously and malciously false.
We concert with none but the peopIe-we side
with none but them. Unlike the Banner, tha,
receive, its "chalked line" Of conduct from a
clique which is engaged in the work Of disorgan-
zing the democratic party, 10 set up and support
ambitious men-men, who have no interests at
heart, save those Of their own dearly beloved
selyes-we can say we are concerted with n'ne.
We act honestly, and as, we believe, the people
would have US do: wo support Col. Ashley be.
cause he is the choice of the people. We are NOT
leasued to perfec. by means fair or foul tho
downfall of public servah.--a true and faithful
democrat, to mako room for another man, for
whom his friends have forsaken the democratic
sta ndard and raised an individual pennon. The
Banner was the first 10 unfurl the fig of discord;
tho first to decry us because we spoke the senii.
rnents Of the people; and being the first in The
work of disorganiznsion. will be the first to feel
the effects Of defeat. Mark that


Secret Serrice Fund ard Mr.. Webstr.-The
Presden. declined furnishing the House OF Rep.
resenta,i,es the desired information respecting
the items expended out Of the secret service fund.
lie declines upon grounds Of public policy and on
opinion that i. would be violating the spirit Of the
law on tina. subject.


We see by the Union of the 23'd ul... that Mr..
lngerso reilera,ss and reasserts his charges, in
the House of Representatives. and he publishes
sha. he will take the first opportunity to comply
with Mr.. Webster's request in Senate, to make
known the particulars and proofs Of Mr.. Webster
alleged delinquency.


We are gralifed to see that the Presiden, main.
tains the dignity Of the high station 10 which the
people havo elevated him, and does no, How
party feeling to inf isnce him in the performances
Of his high functions; and fully concur in his req.
sons for Withholding the "ileIns" referred to.


This Isl grave and serious chm rye made against
Mr.. Webster, and wo hope for the character of
tho American Statesman, who has filled an office
OF such high trust, that it may prove untrue; ye;
ii is the duty Of Mr.. Ingerso, as well a, the duty
Of all good citizens, 10 expose and punish CORFU D..
