This ought to he done, without either stooping to falsehood, yielding to fa- vor, or practising the base art of in sinuation.

I wish it had occurred to the learned Dean to annlize the situation of a man, who is disowned by the party to which he professes to belong. Blunt of comprehension, and too dull to offer a better explanation, I shall contend, that as the Republican par ty disown Maj. Clark, it is a good evidence that he is not a Republican. And according to the opinion of Swift he must he of some other party. But I may not comprehend Analvti- cus, it may be that according to his logic, every opinion advanced thro’ the Press, differing from his own and questioning tne pretensions of Majoi Clark is an infringement of the Li berty of the Press, and Freedom ol Elections.
