As VIC have nothing we ran take back in our expressed views ol the lan guage of The Advertiser, and we have always ex pressed the opinion thai il is his peudlces and moi his heart that is speaking, we must perfnrce, abide all the consequences of the retaliation which he threat ems us. We don't despair of being able to protect ourselves, especially from the kInd of war of which he has given as specimen, in his crlmnaiions of ourselves and our party friends and business GUS. toners.

 One of his retorts is that the Mobile 'locofocos' have abused him heretofore for being "too much of an American!' By this he means that he has been accused of being political Notivs in feeling. An angry man is not expected to reason very logically while the fit is on him, or else might shew that political natysm is by means inconsistent with political anti Americansm. The question 10 the time and degree of participation in the rights of ci- tizenshp, which ought be yielded to resident for egners, is radically distinct m all it's characters- tics from the question of row far American citizens ought 10 discard political controversy among them- selves, n maintaining Americans against the attacks of A hostile foreign government or press.

 Thtre is personal retort upon this pa per- which is a!so illogical and unreasonable. IL is the taunt that our press must be in the British

 The Tropic, it seems, undertook to dissent like one of our neighbours here, from the freedom witI which the Picayune discussed the abusveness of the European Times, and half apologsed for the editor because he is Eng giisman. and because il is hui natural he should ''contend honestly and earnestly for the supremacy and rights. real imaginary, of his own country"

 The Picavune answers this Tn a trenchant way which cuts deeply, while it defends successfully.- The European Times is not solely British paper edited by an Engshman, but was got up expressly for American circulation, and with professions that it to be paper ofcommercial and genera nteI l.

The text is this. The 'rropic had said of Winner & Smiths European Tunes:
