Most ShafaefuJand disgrace
'tuy.-Mr Jack, editor of the CO.
lumbus Whig, lately went in
company with IL MIR Randall to
the private study of a minister Of
the Gospel, the Rev Mr. Lyon, of
the Presbyterian church of Co
lumbus, and because he would
not retract certain statements
made in defence of his own cha
ter in the pulpit, dealt the minis
ter a blow which feIled him to
the earth.


The original cause of the oc-
.currence was an attack on MI
Lyon by the editor in the Whig;
against which Mr. Lyon defended
himseIfto his congregation. For
not retracting the statements he
made inhis defence, he was wait
ed on by these two courageous in
dividuals,a and assaulted in his own
room.


That not the least blame is at
tached to Mr. Lyon we may infer
from his congregation on the
next Sabbath passing unanimous

resolutions excuIpating him from
all censure in the affair.


To attack a parson in his study
is a new specimen Of the "decen.
cency' of whig editors.
