The Suppressed Portrait! We show up our neighbor of the Banner, this week, in his true colors. All will recognize the truthfulness of the sketch drawn by 'Acorn,' and we are right glad to see that our neighbor's regard for the amenities of private life, which makes his society so attractive, has received just commendation. We had intended to place by its side, the portrait of our neighbor of the Democrat, but the one came in so late, as not to allow us time to set the other up for today's Gazette, and we must beg him, in this instance, 'to take the will for the deed.'
