MARION, June ', 1851.

 Messrs Editors; Your paper of the 4th inst. was this day handed me- in which I find over the sigma ture of "Mercuto," article which the writer in- tends as reflection upon my character for integrity, and understanding. The object of this conmunca- ton IS not reply to the many sanderous statements of an individual whose sole object is detractlon. I know not the name of this pink of truth, neither can so far debase myself as to inquire for it. But were to judge the author by the production would un- hesltatIngly say that he some seif-cOnceited, setmportaat, toppish Hp-start, the greatest man in the world in his own estimation, disciple of some Yankeo Federalist, a thorough Jacksonian but a- ways on the side of his enemies You will confer favor by giving the above an insertion in your pa per. SAMUEL w. MARDIS.

 N B. Had not the editor stated that his paper was open to reply, would have suffered this contempt able matter to pass unnoticed. s. w. MARDIS.
