AT the first blush of the affair w« should have quashed the little bickering between the Editors of the Republican and ourselves, in relation to Sir Gie gor’s expedition; but we were first anxi ous to know whether the statement, at Which they took the offence, in all its bearings, was correctly reported by u . Our piper was just going to press whei toe info ination in question was con. municated—and since the attack of the Republican, we deemed it prudent to refer again to our informant,to ascertain if we had, in the hurry of the moment, inadvertantly reported any part of tin statement erroneously—for on tins point alone were we assailable.—We should have said that tne expedition was princi pally, not entirely composed of men. whose object in embarking in the enter prise, was solely bounded by plunder and rapacity. In every other particular, however, we reported the information as we received it. Now, the Editors of the Republican, if they are to be considered as a party concerned , can have the name of the informant; but not without. Our opinion of the expedition of “ citi~ ze\i'‘* McGreg .r remains toe same as heretofore—and it will continue so, until we receive stronger proofs of the contra ry, than the mere ipse dixit of the Re publican. Our opinion shall never be guided by a man vvliq could with un blushing effrontery traduce and vilify the oliicial characters and reputation of two of the most virtuous, sagacious, patri otic and useful statesmen, that ever orna mented our State or National Councils. We shall not again condescend to no tice the Editors of the Republican. They have endeavored to drag us, unnecessa rily, into a controversy, for which we are in nowise qualified—and we well know the direction they would give it.
