W. H. Gray Editor of tho Courier and Enquirer, tj. W. H. Gray Editor of the Statesman. We this week present to our readers a hasty sketch of the political controversy between these two worthy editors. The issue on two- counts in tho declaration is made up. There, is do ambiguity in the pleadings. Each party is very conscious of being right.

Fromihe Courier imJ o/21ri Aug.

The rumor of certain changes in the Cabinet at Washington, turns out to be a Whig rumor.

The Western Statesman edited by tho lying renegade, W. II. Gray, the former editor of the Madison Courier Jc Enquirer, says that Gen. Harrison belongs strictly to no party. Very true; ho does not belong exclusivity to tho tariff, or anti-tariff party—to tho abolition, or tho anti-abolition party—to the bank, or the anti-bank parly—to tho internal improvement, or anti-internal improvement party. In the South, ho is opposed to the tariff, and in the North in favor of the tariff—in the slave States Ho is opposed to abolitionism—and in the States where tho abolition party can control the election, he is an abolitionist. In Virginia and several other States, he is an anti-bank man, and in others, he is in favor of a bank. In several States he is in favor of a system of internal improvement, and in others against it. Having the political sagacity of showing a face to suit the piebald federal parly, ho should hereafter be colled the old magician.

He’said.••It is know to you Sir, - President, brethren, and fellow-citizens,* that a; series of horrible outrages have been perpetrated upon several of our unfortunate people in Damascus; in Sy ria, which luvo creaicdlliogreatest 'Sensation throughout, the civilized world, and ' enlisted / the' generous aid and efficient remonstrances of so vein I ofthe European Governments. ".It seems that a.Priest by the name of Fethdr Thomas, who had long been a resident of Damascus, and was under tire protection of tbo.French Government/-was suddenly missing, and being last seen in company with a Jew, himself and several highly rcsspectable'of our brethren were denounced to the Governor of Dauiascustiy the French Consul na the*tswtderors of tlie said Priest, pud themselves and fa mi lies, thrown into prison and subjected to the most cruel tortures. It would be unnecessary and pamful ttf describe at this time, the horrible outrages, together with the most refined cruelty, which were practised upon the unhappy people, tho result of which as might have been expected in similar cases, was to induce some, in order to save their lives, not only to confess the murder bui ld implicate several others qf.weaUh and respectability, who were also seized and cast into prison exposed to cruel tortures, some of. whom expiring under its severity, their property was seized upon by. the Governor, and the whole Jewish community in Damascus exposed thereby to imminent danger.—Superaddcd to these painful difficulties and cmbarassmcnts, was a rumor prevailing .in Rhodes, that the Jews had murdered a child for the purpose of mixing up its blood with unleavend bread used at the Passover, and the daily tortures inflicted , uponHhe Jews in Damascus, the insults and aggressions' heaped upon them by every religious denomination, created, a panic throughout Syria, which was extending itself over thoTurkish and Egyptian dominions; and these poor and Innocent people,' surrounded by danger and .tinder extreme terror, have entreated their brethren living under - civilized governments, to come to their aid and save them from disgrace and death. To ibis appeal the Jews in England have* made a noble response/and tho with its ample pqwor,mas also.coroo to their aid. Austria r haa protested against the cruel and uncalled for persecution.

A True Confession.

We occasionally see in the Federal papers, the admission of the truth, that tho banking system of our country is legalised swindling. The N, Orleans True American, a Whig Harrison paper, says:’

In trariemilling the same to your Excellency, we beg leave to express what we are persuaded is'vthe .unanimous opinion of the Israelites throughout tho,Union, that ’you will cheerfully use every possible effort to induce the.i’aclia of Egypt to manifest more liberal treatment towards Itts Jewish subjects, no t only from the d ictates of humanity, but Irani'the obvious policy aridjuslico by winch such a course is recommended by the tolerant spirit of the age in which ■welive.'-'.Tho liberal arid enlightened views in relation to niitters'.of faith, which have distinguished our govern nicui from'its very-inception the present lime, liava secured the sincere gratitude arid kind regard of the members of all religious denominations, wc trust that tho efforts of your excellencyin this behalf, will only serve to render more grateful, and to impress more fully Jn the minds of thecitizens of the United Slates, tho kindness arid Uberaliiy of that government under which they live.

“Tho contempt oflho Federal parly for the great mass ofthe people is proverbial, —,Vaduon Courier, IF. H. Gray Editor , Aug, 24, 1839. Is not “the contempt of the Federal parly for the great mass of the people” as proverbial now, as in 18391 ;

The Federal party were as confident of sue? cess ailhc last Presidential election as they now arc, and bragged as loudly then, as they do now; We quote the following article,from tho New York Albany Whig of October 10, 1836,

.“The Wat it will be Dose,— Mr. Van Burcn vriU Ua defeated, and. he knows it, Tbe following is a calculation which may be depended upon, being made on the best information by a politician who was recently a Jackson man, and has long observed tho sign of the times. “Massachusetts 11 votes, Vermont T, Pennsylvania 30, Delaware 3, Maryland 10, North Carolina 15, South Carolina 11,'Alabama 7, Louisiana 5, Tennessee 15, Kentucky 15, Ohio 21, Indiana 0, New Jersey 8, Virginia 33, Georgia II, Mississippi 4—making 208 votes opposed to him, out of 29-1, and a clear majority of 86.” The election came on, and how stood the matter then.
