The Gazette cannot "swallow" the toast of our friend Piatt. It is rather hard, to be sure, to "swallow." True it is—R. M. Johnson did, at the Thames, give his body as a bulwark between his country and his country's enemies. True, also, "that he wrote the Sunday Mail Report"—true, "he has been, in the Halls of Congress, the abiding friend of the Revolutionary Soldier"-true, "he is opposed to monopolies." It is also true, that he is, " in private life, the plain citizen, and the poor man's friend." And is it not true that these are the things which stick in the gullet of the editor of the Gazette?—Yes. No wonder he cannot 'swallow.'
