 We fclicitate tue public upon the pros- poet of a cessation of that relentless hosti- iity which Las beon, fsf ti.e last eigl,i or ten weeks, waged between the two papers in this place. We have every reason to form this conclusion from the fact, that in the last weeks Gazette, every thing of locat political east, was excluded from it's columns. This, in onr opinion, tends con- clHsively to show, that the Editor of Cat paper is now extremely anxious to with draw, or rather becI-oat, from a contro- yersy, he and his friends were the first 10 agitate, and the first to seek. Having become quite satisfied, it appears, that the violent and abusive course pursued to- wards Col. Desha and his friends, " as the most impolitic that could have possibly been adopted, and calculated to do their cause much harm and but little good, they now eyince strong disposition to change their policy, by lying Meir sranderous tongaes and keeping profound silence from this until the election.

 As this controversy has been one, not of onr oaen seeking, and as our hot-heoded ene- mics have now cooled o9tf and beg fer q,tts4'~ fer, although 10 have abundance of anu- Daion in store, we have no disposition to prosecute them farther, at least for the present, but we take this occasion to say to them, that whenever they feel caustic, all they have to do Is to signify the same, and niey will always find us at home.
