hS tuioS1 anu iCACHIC NiiiSh n pulo in for Col. Ashley, or any thing else of the kind he may desire to publish, are welcome in the columns of the Banner. But we tru- ly regret that he should deem the advocacy of diSorgaaisation a necessary element in that eulogy and that defence.

 The disclaimer of any intention to include the editor of the Banner in the sweeping de- nunciation, of ''new corners" and .'retaners of Gov. Yel," against all who have advo- cated convention, with which "R" con- cludes his communication, does admirably well as specimen of Sam Sticks ''solt saw der" He should have remembered that the editor of the Banner has been ''proof readero rather too long to be quite overcome by such compliments. But, as we are not very ambitious to prove an exception to the rule that call men are, in some degree, in huenced by nattery," we acknowledge our obligation, by withholding the retort which "R" knows we might make for the epithet of s'retaner.o

 With the sspassage of arms" between 'R' and our other correspondents, as to the rela- tive merits of Gov. Yell and Col. Ashley, we have nothing to do, except to admire their skill and regret their bitterness. All we can say to them is, in common paalance, 'sthe hardest must fend on.n

 " INTELLIGENeER continue their abuse of us, for the course our duty has required us 10 take in favor of d State Convention. At first, we were somewhat surprised and mortified at this. But so soon as we found that their object was 10 disorganizc hc Democratic party, as the means of carrying out their schemes of individual avoritism, our surprise and modification ceased. It is our duty to expose and denounce all such unworthy schemes; and in the performance of that duty and, by our faith, we do it with s.right good will Owe expect ill-will and abuse from the agents and authors of those schemes. Indeed, we regard il as the surest evidence that our duty has been faithfully performed our work we'll done, when those whom we have exposed are loudest in their com plaints and foulest in their abuse. Such was the case, when we exposed and denounced the disOrgdnizers of 1874; and there is no reason why we should expect or desire any thing else, in similar course we have found it our duty to pursue towards the diSorgani- .ers of 1845. Such is Gen. Byrd's enduring sense of the exposure and denuneation we inflicted upon him last year, that he has never yet even spoken to uS, although he has long since shaken hands and made friends with Col. .4Shieu. Such Is the inveterate hatred that all diSorganizerS bear LIS! We'll, that is

 just what we like. When we fail to incur the dislike and maledictions of dis0rgdai2erS -sspirates" as we sometimes call them-then our friends may take shame that we have failed 10 do our duty.

 Fortunately for the Democratic party, such evil sehemers, as WIG have exposed and de- nounced, are dangerous only while their pur- poses are concealed. So soon as they are ex- posed to the public gaze, they lose ali their power to do harm-they are paralysed by the sunlight of truth.

 Having said all that a sense of duty to our party requires of us, in reference to the Jour nal and lntel!igencer, we have neither the in- ducement, the disposition, nor the intention to bandy words with those prints, on our own account. Should their contenfS, hereal- ter, demand our notice, we shall pass by the man, and deal with the master. There is neither pleasure nor profit in ''lhc child's- play" of bombardmg valueess out-w ork, when the citadel itself lies within point blank range-where shot will tell.
