The Charleston Mercury" still permits its
Washington correspondents shamelessl and gross


ly to abuse the patience of the citizens of South
| Carolina The other day, il made Mr. Wal


er.the author of MIR. Polk's letter to Mr.. Kane
Next, it represents Mr.. Polk as weak in his pur-
poses, well as nsincere in his professions about
the reduction ofthe tariff. Then IFS correspondent
draws picture of the relations of the cabinet and
prospects of its breaking up which is very much
of piece with similar articles that have recently
appeared in a factious and contemplate Journal
Of this city Never were statements so destitute
of even the color of truth ; for we undertake to
repeat, upon the best authority in the world, that
no cabinet could be more harmonious, moro close
ly united, so much of "unit," as the present
President and all his cabinet. The &c Charleston
Mercury, is now abusing the ear of its readers in
South Carolina, by permitting a humbug to go
forth in its columns of ga coalition between the
administration, the organ: and Mr.. Senator Ben
ton," for purposes to which we scorn to all1de


Similar unfounded suspicious, have been scattered
by the paper in this city, and they look like urns
of water drawn from the same filthy fountain


There is not the slightest color of truth in the
whole story. II is vile n Roorback as ever was
propagated by the wings during the last campaign


We would not condeScend to notice these fabrica-
tions at ALL if they were not caught up by the
whig press from the columns Of the " Mercury"
and insidiously circulated as the assertions of a
republican press and the organ of the friends of
Mr.. Calhoun" How long the friends of Mr. Cal
houn in South Carolina will consent to be mis-
represented in this manner it is or.thcm to decide


But, for ourselves, we say, (and we venture to as
sert there is not republican in Washington who
does not cordially agree with us,) in regard to
these two presses which sometimes blow no. and
sometimes cold, the republican party prefer an
open enemy to an insidious friend. When the
mask is thrown ASIDE, he can impose on no one.


What he then says is known to be the declaration
of an opponent, and can never be quoted by the
wings as the act of friend. ~ ,,.t.


We have done our duty; and we have now done
with the subject. No charge, however mendaci-
Gus, and however abusive, coming from the same
sources, shall wiring another sentence ofconradie-
tion from our pen. = IT,
