Fvr (Ae Wieconn* Vinery.Oknukme.n At the time of the establishment of your paj**r, assur-an cos were given to persons entertaining different political opinions from your own, that while its editor i would maintain his own peculiar political opinions, theirs also should \c ] treated with projHjr resjiect. Judge ] then, of our surprise at the appear- i | ance of the following language, min- ! I gled with much other of similar ten- • or, in your last issue, vizu they j (the Whigs and Free Soiler?,) arc, they always have been identical—the 1 same in interest, feeling and ultimate lt;j object—-to wit: the destruction of * ' the Democratic party of the United j States, and the overthrow of the Con- , stitufckm and Government.'’ ,To that part of the charge accusing | us of seeking to overthrow the Dcm-| ocratic party, we plead guilty, for we consider it a respectable and legitimate business ; but for a person who I has arrived at the age and political j experience of the chief editor of the j Pinery, to directly and publicly j charge and accuse a large proportion of respectable citizens, of wilfully and maliciously seeking to overthrow the Constitution and Government, (that Constitution and Government which our fathers as well as yours, fought . to erect and maintain.) we consider not only disrespectful, but a direct and downright insult, not only upon ourselves, but au attempted insult upon an intelligent public.Entertaining these opinions and feelings, we beg leave to withdraw j our support from a public press which j endeavors to support itself and an [ expiring party, by vilifying its sup-1 porters and neighbors, ion will j therefore discontinue sending us your j sheet; and such of us as have adver-I tisements in it. request that you will discontinue their publication. Any sums justly due you from us, will be promptly paid upon piescntatiou of*' account. j! (Signed) J. II. MOSlilSOX, i i AY. D. McINDOE.; OltlX MAY15EE,D. D. CHENEY.G. J. GOODIIUE, t \V M.
