It seems the au •tfor of the Editor'sj Diary" took upon himself the responsibility of writing the address without even submitting it to the inspection or revisal of his associates. In speaking of our brief notice of his address which we gave last week, the •, editor of the Gazette says For the fin»t matter,—the charge of Sfnce°"rSrf0W 4 ments and vulgarisms'—we 'feel some ,, concern. Our firm conviction that ither^ is not a statement or insinuation in -the' address which cannot be substan tiated by most unquestionable proof. To test this, let the editor, or any one else, make a point in the matter, and we 10 ?ive u 1 aati"factory We now call upon this wonderful edi tor to redeem his pledge.

Now if the above position be true and if it proves anything, it shows that our par ty is the democratic party, and that Gen. Harrison is the candidate of the only legitimate democracy of the country. This is what we have been contending for, bat we did not expect the loco foco •igan in this place was prepared or would have the honesty to make the admission.

Sir.—I had scarcely thought that I would trouble you again, but you are a young man, and 1 have the vanity to be lieve I may teach you a lesson which may be a benefit to you in after-life. Po litically speaking, you are yet in your swaddling clothes, but in making your 1° l°°king over the official proceedings I first steps, you have committed a blunder wllich h" thrown you with so much violence upon your fair face as to dis figure your appearance in such a manner, that I fear even your own nurse (the lo co foco party) will hardly recognize you. Your onset into political life, I believe, sir, was as fair as that of any young man in the territory.
