Now tho quostlon arises do we intend to abide by tlioso resolutions, nn«l on’our part carry them otit in good f.ifth? Or will tho person's, comptising a large number of our weal thiest and most intelligent citizens, who adopted thorn with stioJt unanimity, ut terly disregard them, as was intimated ill tho meeting, whenever they mny he aldo to savon few dimes by giving tho preference in the purchase of their goods to those merchants who mny bring them from the NortX ? If so thewholo nfihir will bo a moat absurd failure—a ridiculous farce.

The Hulo Working both ways, The declaration of the Southerner that tho "offensive personalities" to which we took exceptions was a "reply to an attack upon tho Democratic party, if not intended for tho Editor of that paper personally" renders it necessary for ns to say ono word more on this subject. Wo lmd hoped it would be otherwise, If our humorous siiggoition of the propriety of -establishing in Washington City an oifico for the reception of “Pub lic Donkeys," because the "Capitol was too small to accommodate ull that were "nibbling at the public crib," was an attack upon any lx>dy, there'can he no reason to believe that it was git attack upon tho Democratic party, any more thjtn upon the Republican or even tho South American party.
