A CARD.

£r>. Standard:—-But two of our papers had invitations and representative* on the editorial excursion, and the editor of t|>e third, on account of the deserved slight,- has seen tit to refer, in his usual cowardly way, to those representatives as impostors and false pretender*. Well, be it so. We will most willingly consent to have the public weigh our character and reputation for truth, reliability and virtue, with that of this worn-out, corrupt add turn-over politician. It rather ill become*, him to accuse another of sailing under false colors. Such accusation* should not Emanate from a depraved, jealous and sensual mind. Oh, no I Its too much like the devil advocating morality. If this editor, yrho, by-the-way,-’ is noted for his willful ralsstateinent of facte, would soliloquize in the strain of Hurns, “O wad terne power the giftie us To see outrels as others *ee ns,” it would doubtless be advantageous to,him.
