The Raleigh Register publishes as editorial
the following from the Alexandria Gazette:


"The 'Union' cuts the Charleston Mercury
with an air of offended dignity, declaring that it
will not again contradict any of its charges, how
ever mendacious,' and that the republican party
Ii. e. the locofoco. pary) prefer open enemy
to an insidious foe.' There's for you friends of
Mr. Calhoun =" Alexandria Gazette


And to this the Union makes the following ap.
propriate and conclusive reply:


"The expression which we used was not
meant to apply to the friends of Mr. Calhoun"
Il was intended for the G Charleston Mercury
and its affiliated press in this city. The friends
of Mr.. Calhoun in South Carolinian have, indeed,
some interest in the question. Werepeat it is for
them to decide how long they will consent to be
so misrepresented. We have no, doubt that they
will do their duty in this behalf But certainly
we never intended to say to them that the arepub-
lican party" would ever regard them either as an
I" insidious friend or an open foe" How strange
and absurd would such designation. appearl
They are themIelves part and parcel of the bone
and sinew ofthe Republican party" .az


So much for the facts Of the Register. So
