Our friend has been j battling, in manly and effective style, in behalf of tlie Jl!?io Uhlge railroad ; and fur (his he is to bo crushed out. Wo have been threatened in the same way, but, we are glad to know, by a very small number of our usually indulgent patrons. Wo presume this to be the case also with our Greenville friend. j Is this proscription, for opinion's Sake, right? Most assuredly not. The lrme:>t journalist or j public man, who having, after mature reflection, 1 decided on the course intended to bo pursued, j whether that position be popular or not. is entitled to respectful attention and consideration in the discussion of the mi est ion at issue. Y<>n t'ldlm t|ie rijjht of on pressing yourself on matters of public concern?will you allow your neighbor tho same piiu'egi:? Common justice demands it. Is nothing, moreover, due to hint who early, openly and boldly takes a position, (believing himself to be right) and maintains it fairly and with all the power at his command? j We think so. Do the public value individual character? if so. nlmrUli ilm? r himself and tliat promptly. The man who courts tlic popular brccjco, trims his sails for gliding smoothly with tho current, and has no decided opinions of his own, is not worthy of pub- } lie confidence. But if proscription is to he the j rule, you drive every public man into this stultl- ! tying position. Proscription is unworthy of a j manly heart, and baneful to the best intcro.sts | of society.

Tho refusal to show their colors when asked ; to do so. pi.iceii them in the position of pirates, i and their insolent assault on United States ships | proved that such was their real character.
