A Question Settel.

Under the above head "the Koehtator Un<o* Npy makes a most disgraceful attack on our Congrcssrnau, General Pa< kaiu'. it seemthe father of the editor of thst paper Waftited the I‘ostoffice at Plymouth, but failed to gpt/it a* many nn honest man has done before him. Vinter the inti nonce of frarfnl passion, the son of. his father, afltf Mitorof tiro Union Spy. Meets General Pa< kai:i», as the cause of the wrong and object of his wrath, kbit without regard Id* propriety, drt-cuey or truth, strikes right and left. He charges Packahi* with having defeated a crippled soldier in las race for Auditor of La Porte comity, two or threi years ago. We don't know v\ hether the man Kas a cripple or not, but onr informant states that if he was etippied while in the United States service he must’ have beeii _ liiift Awbifoiu llici’xo.rxisL.Mjin’.blllN l’!l ti<-c at LaPorte, as he did not get nearer the enemy than that place during the war. If the statement of the editor .of the Union s)»y is true he knew it at (Io 1 time the t'onvention was held which nominated General Pai Ka rd,and he should have used it t<» have defeat' d hi-' i>oniii:ati"i: for t OHgrcss. but Ire did notch* so, on the cmilrury, Mr. M.vmv..'.r th l '” rejoiced exceedingly over the nomination mid hailed it a- a great trfmiiph of the soldier element over »tny-at-hoine patriotism. TJiis he , said in the is-ne of his paper announcing the Westville nominations, and published that he fell so gushingly glorious tlrtit he rode (ill night that ho Plight publish the result to the people of Fulton Comity before they could obtain it from any other source. We bad supposed from this that the editor's friendship for General P.i< k ai:i» was of the most disinterested, but if appears to have beem a P.ogtoftice friendship—a v cry common kind indeed. Come Bii.L get over your little pet, quit crying, wipe your Bose and be a man, and if “Pater” really needs a Postoitiee perhaps he mav be accomodated in this county as it •aid a new one will soon be estnb fished at Alter's Mill.-
