Mr. Eprron—The subordinate writer of minor paragraphs for the Editorial department of the obscure Moniter, chafed by ghe unmasking of his reputed master, whines like a sick puppy at that disc.osure, and indulgicg a principle of action and style of phraseology natural to and cultivated by him, ‘declares in the obscure thing that when “ Tevant’s Friend” ‘Jaid the editorial paternity of that cypher sheet to hie occult

patron, the Hon, Mr. Palmer, he (- Tenant's Friend’) ‘* knew ‘that he was penning a deliberate fulsehood.’’ Now, how jcould the saintly, wise and ever-truthful Mr. J. B. Cooper know that ** Tenant's Friend’’ knew that ‘* he was penning a deliberate falsehood ?’’ He simply could have no such know- ledge, and, therefure, his allegation is a mere fabzication,

while the language employed beeomes individuals like Mr. Cooper, and adds fragrance to his antecedants.

The Honorable Mr. Palmer is the reputed Editor of the Monitor ; every body that happens to read that trifle believes ‘him to be its Editor; indeed the impress of that Hon. gentle- ‘man’s literary calibre is borne upon its insignificant pages, the dull, dry, contracted, costive matter, together wit Govern- ment information, and acerbity of tem,er garnishing its edi- | torial fetes—proclaim the caterer, or fix the Editorial paternity on that gentleman. Mr. J. B Cooper, however, asserts to ‘the contrary ; but his asservation is regarded as n-1,—his de- nial will not be entertained by any one haying a know edge of him, because unfortunately his veracity is more than question- able—truth hanging extremely loose about him,—a moral obligation which be does not consider binding on Mr. J. B. Cooper. If, however, the public have wrongfully seated Mr. Palmer on the frail Editorial chair of the vbseare Monitor, and improperly laid to his charg» the leaden, stupid and Go- ' yernment scented editorial lucubrations, clouding and disfigur- ing its pages; and if he is sensitively alive to the imputed indecent connection with that iaferior print, he knows that ja publie denial of the imputation by himself would be suf- | ficient to relieve him from the general op:nion entertained of his Ejitorial participation in that failure in public journal-
