It has almost been drowned in a sea -of quotation& In its anxiety to make-out a case against "Occa sional," it took a text from the Chronicle, charged it to one of these letters, and then. hung upon it a string of extracts from them 26 prove "hostility to the Administration." While I ask of you to ;reprint the Cl6ronide's tleserved castigation of the Intelligeneer, I cannot ..withhold the utterance of my thanks to the:latter - for . giving such copious passages from my writings.. The habit of misquoting is chronic-withlhe intetligeneer, and has been- more titan once exposed and thaatised. It .is at -best ' a miserable. weakness, that -of-attempting to prove a Fault upon an -adversary by tearing his :ententes away from the body of his argu ment, and commenting upon what, in, their real place, conveyed -a wholly different meaning. This practice is so cheaply in dulged in that any. malignant and narrow mind may become- an -expert. It has so near a relation to downright forgery that it was easy. for the. inta/liaeneer, in order to., prove upon " Occasional " a purpose foreign to his heart; to mistake what was in the Chronicle for his- own production ! In this correspondence mistakes are as likely to happen as in any , other similar reflections IliVn passing events' , in a daily paper ;'but even the dishonorable ingenuity of the In telligencer cannot; pekert my sincere mo tives. Especially is it a ridiculous false hoed that I would - repel what is called "Democratic snpport" from President Johnson's , restoration policy. I can easily understand why a zewspaper which grew old, and crabbed, and suspicious, in assist ing the Democracy-in its best days—the (lays of Jackson more especially, who was the earliest embodiment of aggressive Union ism and ti•enchanthate of Treason—should ecli to cover its wretchedness with the cast-off. garments of modern Demoeraey, For now the" Democracy, as understood by those with-whom the Intelligences sympa thizes, is the synonym of aristocracy—and thcre,bas been no slave more slavish to a Lad passion than, during a generatioa of jeurnalism, the‘latelligencer has been to the artificial artietocraey ; first of wealth, as in the Dank of the United States, and after wards' of slavery, as in its timid. and 'time serving course-before the rebellion, and for a long time -afterwards. There is not an im enitent rebel in the South, from Jeff Davis john - Iditchel—from the gentle Wertz in 1:;e Old Capitol to the humane Dick Turner 11 Richmond—who does not claim to be "a Democrat," an original, and, of course, a persecuted one. These are the In t, fiigencer's Democrats. For, mark you! _he Andrew Johnson Democrat, of whom my most octogenerian critic is not so enamored, were its especial horror until the "radical" Senator and. " arbitrary" Governor Imam e President ; when, presto, there Wai a change as marked as if the newspaper enemy of tile great war neasures lie sustained had been born anew. Now, if the Intelligence). has an leheritea regard for the new DemocraeY, •which is simply slave Aristocracy, I profess !la inherited regard for the old Democracy taught by Jefferson, and fought for by Jackson. And so far from driving off Democrate of that kind from the support President Johnson in his great efforts to restore the Union, I would encourage and honor, and welcome them. In fact, a large body of this class Of men gave their strong will, clear billing, and unselfish patriotism to Abra ham Lincoln, a Whig, elected without and against their votes, 'When the false Demo flats of the South sought to manacle him that they might Minder the Republic. And it would be unnatural if I did not re joice to see them eiving their strong and valuable aid to Andrew Johnson, one of their own original household, and to in voke all of the same school to kohl up and strengthen his hands in the nOW eompli= cations produced by the overthrow of the r ebellion.

[From the Washington Chroniele of Saturday. 3 We unintentionally gave great offence, to Our venerable neighbor, the Bgettigencer, a few days ago, by the following editorial remark: "The bare suggestion of the idea - that the President would betray the friends who elected him is a base calumny, which, if not Unworthy his notice, would be answered with indignant scorn." This remark, which our senile .eotemporary confounds with a letter from "Occasional," was made in. reply to the New York Daily News, Tlint,outspoken organ of treason had deliberately discussed the question under the beading, "Let us get Andrew Johnson,” dud approved the idea, provided the President could be brought over to its platform. Our com ment concluded as follows : "When it is remem bared that what the News Styles:the ' Demo cratic Platform Platforfn> consists of two planks, viz.: slavery and treason, the reader will fully are predate the insolence of the proposition.” This attempt of The Chronicle to repel the insolence of an avowed traitor, the Inlelligeneer an nounees as a covert attack on the policy of President Johnson. The sensitiveness of the late McClellan organ on a matter affecting the Character of its coadjutor, the Daily :Yews, can be well understood ; but in assuming to be the champion and defender of President Johnson, after devoting four long years to the work of omdermining the AdminiStratiOn of his friend and predecessor, the illustrious Abraham Lin coln, it can only be characterized as jesuitical hypocrisy. But in order that the reader may judge for himself of the chagrin of the Lakin geneer caused by our denunciation of Ben. Wood's insolent proposition " toget President Johnson" on the Copperhead platform, We quote the whole of its remarks on this point, as -follows Notwithstanding that President Johnsiin, also all men of whom our history has record, has made the old Bentonian motto of "Union, harmony, conciliation, concelsion? his deter mined policy, yet we see, under a variety of pretences and disguises, a Constant Wind and tide of hostility to that policy from a quarter where charity, forgiveness, candor, and kind ness should be most cherished, most incul cated, most urged, most enforced. It is an old trick of politicians to put words in the mouths of opponents, or assume some thing false of them in order to have pretences Mr attack. Thus "Occasional" menaces the President because some Democrats are sup porting a measure or measures of his policy that are obnoxious to the radical destructives. What to a Just man would seem to be cause for thankfulness to high Heaven, namely: the ac claim of the country for the President.of a union of ]hearts, bands, and states, is fraught with indescribable tenon to that sort of politicians who, for the sake.of oflice and patronage, sink country for party. With this feeling "Occa sional," under the mask of defending - the Pre sident, throws out the following u menace: " The bare suggestion of the idea that the President would betray the friends who elected him is a base calumny, which, if not unworthy his notice, Would be answered with indignant scorn." There has been latterly a great deal of Ms stale sort of party trick, as well as that other form of dictation, a constant prescribing of policy for the President,. under „the form of what must be hie views, The natural inference, from thoexcitedteno Of the Intelligencen.is that it Mabee'' , weak enough to lend itself to the preposterous and impudent scheme of the News. The assertion that the Chronicle, or that any friend of the . President, is disposed to repel the- support of honest Democrats is simply false. On , the con trary, we have always been prompt towelcome such support, although it COmes.after the elec tion., What we did was to•resent the insulting suggestion of a notorious organ of treason, that the President could be induced•togo over to its platform of policy. The Intelligencer un iniStaliably shows its own sympathies-when it takes up the cudgel for the News: As to the poor attempt to point out dis crepancies between the letters -of. "Occit. sional" and the editorials in the Chronicte, it may pass for st - bat it is worth. It amounts only to this 'that in the one ease "Occa- Sional rebukes rebel violence and-insolence, and in the other, the editorial, in general terms, speaks of the acquiescence Of the South ern people in the results of the war. It would he easy to show, on the other hand, severe ethterial criticism upon the conduct of South ern men, parallel with charitable remarks in the letters of " Occasional, ,, upon other phases ,of Southern affairs ; and in each case our co temporary would only display its character istic puerility. The inteiligencer is also much exercised by " Occasional's') denunciation of the " Copper head expedient' , "to demand admission into Congress of representatives from the late rebel States, elected by such bitter rebels as lately threw their ballots in Richmond, Vir ginia. It. is the great mission of the Demo cratic leaders,E! 4e. In reply to this and other remarks of " Occasional.," the AltEUloeiteer ex claims : Why should such a platform lie made up for the - Democratic party, the South, or any party for mischievous purposes I A quantity of pplitical villainy is suggested for them from a soiree replete With all the arta Of party chi canery. lf this be not disloyalty and hostility to the soothing and healing policy of the Administration, words are not things, and are of no effect. . . It is an. easy thing for a partisan politician to invent, diabolical suggestions for friends or foes, but it is not t.O easy for MEMOS of men to be deluded to their own destruction by adopt ing them. It will be a sad dity for our afflicted country, if it could thus be made the football of designing demagogues. This is a vague sort of denial. But does our neighbor mean to say, in so many words, that the so-called Demoetatie leaders and presses 'of the do not favor the admission of any rebel whom a.Southern constituency may send to Congress? If it does so intend, let it speak out. Let it point to one leading Copper head politician or journal that would oppose the admission of any rebel to a seat. Would the Int elligeneer, itself throw an obstacle:in the way of readmitting Toombs, Stephens, Wise, Bunter, Mason, or Davis himself? We pause for a reply..

THE NAVAJOE INDIAN Tunnes.- , -SecretarY Har lan and Judge Cooley, Commissioner of the Indian Bureau, have returned to Washington from their conference with the Society of Friends in Philadelphia, relative to certain propositions emanating _from the latter, in volving a change in the condition of the Na vaj• e Indian tribe of New Mexico. The inter view in question took place at the Continental Hotel, and was satisfactory. The Navajoes are a semi-civilized tribe, numbering about twelve thousand, and • probably have made more original progress in the primary arts than any other tribe now extant. The Society of Friends propose to send out a large number of agents among the Navajocs, and establish industrial schools in their midst with a view of ultimately bringing them entirely within the pale of civilization. Though this under taking will be forwarded at the expense of the society, it is still proposed to place the work under Government auspices and an agent of the latter, resident atilhe point where the schools arc founded, will exercise a con trolling supervision over the' conduct of the educational system. Though the plans thus presented are not entirely settled upon, it is believed that the action of the Friends in Philadelphia will finally dispose of the matter. There is no doubt - that the. Government Will accept the proffer thus made, and will speedi ly close with the propositions that are to be formally presented to the Interior Depart ment some time during the present week.— Correspondence New York Herald. after many years' 1 3XPeri" RAISER TION.—„An English. manufacturing flenrince,hiens In u a C k ee in ea g e a a s ' heet of iron 80 thin that 4,800 such sheets are required to make an inch in thickness ,being one-fourth as thick as tie= sus paper.
