The Courier has published, and other Wig pa
pers republish, pretty hard stcry against Mr.. u.
NJ. Dallas, who, in some of his conduct as lead
ing counsel for Monroe Edwards, is represented
as overacting the part of the lawyer IN such t
way as would te esteemed most rescaly IN any
other than lawyer. A friend has called on Us
with names to substantiate all that Is alleged IN
this statement, requesting US to copy it-but we
shall do no such thing. 1t might be effective,
out it is not in our line. We oppose Mr. Dallas
ss hard as we know how 70 do It, but the homes;
truth being that we oppose hun because ne is a
very Jacobinic, ose-pyincipled, Texas Loco
Foco. and not because he is an extra-sharp law
yer, we shall not pretend the contrary.


Briefly, these personal attacks on candidates
for Office, unless for some Aagrant moral delln-
ouency, arc not a. all to our taste. We are quite
willing that our opponents should send spies int"
eve,y social circle which MIR. Clay visits, to Ger
tify that he has sometime taken hand of whist
with his friends, even when some trlfiing stake
has been made We are willing they should cal
this playing for money, revile him as a gambler
and falsely assert that he has solemnly denied
taking part in any game within dozen years
We are willing they should go on in this way to
he end, and make all they can by it-just as
they used to abuse John O. Adams about q
billiard.table that was bought for La Fayettc
when guest Of the Country. We hope they
will rake up some more such matters and lie as
nearly in the words of truth as possible. WI
like to see the Evening Post, Pennsylvania, &c
diving after The Plebeian into this nice business
and we wish them JOY of all they make by it
We have not the least desire to divide eithe
the honors or the gains.
