'"’ThFInTELUGENCER?”
patience of our readers, we feel sat
isfied, must be well nigh exhausted at the
task forced upon us, to remove the erro
neous representations of the Editor of the
Intelligencer, who appears to delight in
abuse J of the State Hoad, and in assaults
upon its Superintendent and Officers
But they will pardon us we hope. A dis
eased imagination is not easily cured, and
as the Intelligencer still continuoH a news
paper, and hu sumo
L- tiro ' fi'reed to keep its Editor in order
ii possible, lest hi? affliction mr.y become
| an epidemu ituone the susceptible portion
of his readers. ♦ , '- v i
Laboring under thtl shtoge halluclaa’
tion. he charges upon ur “ characteristic
evasion,” in what he, the Editor of the In
telligencer, terms our “lame attempt to de-,
fend the rickety administration of the State
Road.”
Now with regard to the “rickety ad-,
ministration” to which he refers, we shall
only say, that it is not only the /rrs? «</.
ministrnlwH of the road, that bus paid, and
is again ready to pay, a largo umouot of
money, into the people's treasury, but it is
doing a fine business, very much to the
credit of its officials, from Ihe highest to
the lowest, in despite of all who growl at
it. And this is so well known, that every;
assault upon it, coming from the quarter
it does, only adds to its popularity, and j
that of its management
So much for the rickety part of the In
telligencer’s last assault. Now, let us
note what ho charges “-evasion,” without
the qualifying adjective prefixed th -reto' I
We charged the editor of the Intelhgcn-.
cer, with having made an ill-natured as
sault upon Major Cooper— but we will give I
the words of out charge Here they are:
“The Intelligencer, in its issue of the
28th, makes an outrageous and ill-natured
assault upon Maj Cooper, with its usual
unfairness and want of modesty. We can
inform the Intelligencer that its
tion is uselessly spent. No such rostrio
►. tion exists on the State Rond with refer-!
ence to the Bagk of Atlanta ”
The Editor in commenting upon the
? foregoing says;
“We can Inform the Examiner that the
, order in question did contemplate the ex
clusion of the bills of the Atlanta Bank
. from the Road, and that the agents and
conductors were instructed not to receive
its bills In payment of freight and passage.”
And pray who said that the ordcJ
did not prohibit the reception of the bills
| of the Rank referred to, as well as the bills
of many other banks? No one » All that
k wu said, at the time we wrote, was this
that “ no such restriction exists on the
State Road, with reference to the Bank of
Atlanta.” This we said to show that the
grievance of which the Intelligencer com
plained whs removed; that it did not then
exist; and that the growling or thnt paper
should paw for what it was worth. What
was there nmw in this?
The truth is, and all who note the ool
| uinns of that paper, cannot hut admit
what w« nreert. that its Editor wm/ do
justice to the State Road. Why, we shall
not attempt to define Indeed, 'the more
of Mirrors that attends its management ,
the bitterer his hostility And, in regard
to the Examiner, h'> is getting into :|re
same fix Like the Road Wl > goimj

THE NEW DISGUISE OF THE OPPOSITION.; [
A little more than two years ago Frank- i
lin Pierce, the democratic candidate for'
the presidency, was assailed by the whig
I leaders as the enemy of the Catholics, I
■ simply because the constitution of his ;
‘ own State of New Hampshire contain- 1
;cd a clause disqualifying a Catholic,
I from holding office in certain cases —a 1
• clause tshich would long before have been 1
! stricken out, had it not been regarded as
I a dead letter on the statue-bcok, and had
I not the effort to obtain a two-thirds popu-;
i iar vote against it failed by a few votes. —
' Our readers will remember that, notwitb-,
'standing General Pierce had been the*
avowed and eloquent opponent of this
claure for years, (having boldly opposed it
!»r. the reform convention of New Hamp
| shire, in company with tbai lamented dem
ocratic statesman, Levi Woodbury,) the;
whole whig press, in 1852, professing ex- ;
' ireme friendship for the Catholics and the
: adopted citizen, insisted upon holding Gen- ■
; era) Pierce responsible, and called upon ,
j the people to rebuke, him fur it' It was
in vain to reply to these charges, so far as.
the whig, or Scott leaders, were concerned. I
One would have supposed they were all,
; devout Catholics, frum their indignation
i against the democratic candidate on ac-
I •,«iur. d l\ew Hampshire disqval’fl-
S ic«» that wriod. however, the
scene La3.enf.rely cnar md Nearly fb?
ai’ie men tvoyean ago, assailed:;m
misrepresented General Pierce bec’V.se of ,
tho clause leiurred to in tb- Now Eamy-
• shire const’tus*on, are now bonded with a .
party notoriously committed to allow no
! Catholic to be elected to office, and Ixildly
declaring the Pope of Rome the controller j
of the consciences oi millions of the Amor-,
ican people, native and adopted, natu-;
, ralized and unnaturalized. Where, In
, this emergency, is Franklin Pierce and
. the great democratic party ? Precisely
where they were in 1852
Then, when charged with hostility to a ;
part cular religious sect, and sought to be 1
| “out bidden” by the whigs for the votcs'of i
the adopted citizens, they stood firm—ma
king no idle professions to secure those
1 they were accused of deserting, and point
-1 ing proudly to their history and to their:
actions as so many guarantees for their'
future conduct. This is the present atti
tude. The great body of the whigs have :
; changed; but the democracy, led by Frank
lin Pierce, have not changed. Even !
i though they are charged by the very lead- *
ei s who occupied the position of cnampi-'
( ons of the Catholic Church in 1852, with
being now identified with the Catholics,,
and pledged to their support, they aroun-1
awed and unsubdued. They stand where .
they always stood, upun the immu-j
' table principles of justice to all men.
It has been always thus. "While the
adversaries of the democi atic party have i
. bucu changing front and abandoning-then 1
' doctrines, the democratic party Las been !
steadfast and defiant. When Jackson wa
deserted by craven aud treacherous friends,;
he did not cnanse. but adhered to the faith ;
till it becau.c triumphant, aud died amid
the regrets 01 his nies and the prayers of his
friends. When the independent treasuiy
was repeale i, tho democracy clung to it,
with tenacious grasp, and never abated
their efforts till t nt ■»». asure was crowned
with success, and its ?>rruer opponents
were glad to unlearn their,clamorous con
tempt of its manifold virtues. When the :
' tariff of 1846 was established, nnd when
thousands declared it would bring ruin
upon the country, the democracy were not
afraid, but gathered around it until it be
came a part of the conceded financial pol
> icy of the country.
So is it in the great cause of religious ’
i toleration. The seeds of eternal truth are
• alive in its bosom, and will perpetually :
; bear perennial fruits The frosts and*
I storms of prejudice may sometimes retard j
their growth, out when the clouds and the'
winter h ve passed away, they will blwm 1
■ nnd blossom in enduring freshness and un-
( dying verdure.— 7/071 Union.

BLUNDsns E itori.aL.--A great many

THE MASSACRE NEAR FORT LAMARIE.
The Missouri Democrat gives the fol-:
lowing additional particulars of thg late
massacre of the mail party near Fort La-1
marie:
The United Stats mail, it seems had ’
1 left the tort and proceeded some 20 miles
| this side, without molestation. The party ■
1 consisted of the mail agent, Mr. Jameson 1
■ and James Vv heeler, and Thomas Hackett, |
and one passenger, Mr. Kinkaid, of Salt
. Lake. They had reached a small creek,
, which flows into the Platte, and passing :
through the bed had ascended the oppo
; site side, when, just as they gained the!
summit, they were fired upon by a numer
ous party of Indians, who were lying con
cealed iu the grass. At the first fiye eve- i
ry one in the mail wagon was either kill- <
ed or badly wounded, with the exception
•of Mr. Kinkaid. He, so soon as be saw
i the result, jumped out of the wagon and
' seizing upon one of the mules, mounted
; it, aud attempted to disengage it from the
, traces While doing so several arrows were
. shot into his body, which he pulled out
■ as fast as they pierced him. and was about:
getting clear when a pistol baU struck him
( on the side of the neck and disabled him.,
, An Indian then ran up and fePed him to.
the ground with the butt of a northwest *
guu. and hfe beeauv ’.r.«er<b;e. Alter a
few moments, howev’r. < , orsc'"utisi:ess *e 1
.n nod to h-m, rnd r< f ''.ng Ivu-relf on h ; s
'w. ri e saw *.b?.t the Indian < were cn-
, robbing tlie rer.i' wG .v.. J.u;
Indiauwhosaw hijp at this moment beck
. cnee to him tu muf?*: and dear out, but.
he was too t-nf. e'ded to otir, nnd sank
back again prbsrrate from the loss of blood.
; The Indians pillaged everything in the
. wagon. Among which was h box of coin,.
; ($111,000,) which 2ffr. Kinkaid had in his
■ possession. They, after that, ripped open
the mail bags with their knives, scatter
ing the mail and letters, and then cuttin?i
the traces frum the mules, trailed off across
; the Platte.
Mr. Kinkaid lay in ave-y critical con !
! dition for some time, until he was so for-.
tunate as to be discovered by a soldier
from the fort, wbo was out wolf-hunting, i
i and who was attracted thither by seeing
• those animal* moving towards the spot.—-
‘ Their unerring scent told them where the
dead bodies lay. and they, no doubt, were i
preparing for their feast. The soldier at
I once made the best of his way to the Fort.
‘ and soon breught assistance—when Mr.
, K. was conveyed thither and cared for.
I The bodies of tho*e who were killed, were
j interred on the spot.
; Fortunately, Mr. K s person was not
; searched by the Indians when they left
him ns dead, nnd he thus preserved some ,
I ten thousand dollars w’ : ch he had in the
1 shape of drafts with him. The party of
Indians who made the attack wore Sioux,
■ mbst likely of the Brv , u bend, and seem
-led to be solely on plunder and to
have laid their ambuscade for that purpose
; ajon«.
We have thus given more in detail than
1 has yet been made public of the particu-1
ilars of this horrid tragedy, Mr. K., we!
understand, will be in the city himself in 1
two or three days, when, if any further
acts transpire, wp shall give them to the
public.
