that 1 have done a little more for the soil, that;
he has ever done, and that, too, without having
private it in view.—Mr. Cost was touched house by
Col. Josairrous, whom the stock jobbing press geoid not ,
*heat, sod who asked, in answer to the hole-and-corner re-
titians presented by Mr. Coss; "why do yOll Rat Mil
" another County Meeting? With me," said Col. Joins-
" vette ; " here is the question to close your lips for
" per. Yon pretend to say that the County reprobates
" the Petition; you pretend that these Petitions, got up in
" hotelknd-corners, speak the real sentiments of the
" County ; and yet you dare not cell the County together
" again. Yon have 'described the Petition, as a monstet.
" so hateful, that it requires only to be seen to be ahe
" hotrod; with every epithet and term, that malignity troeld.
,0 suggest, have you loaded the imputed writer of this Pe-.

" More, and yet you dare not call that County together."—
Thus the hole-ted•eorner heroes got but very little by this
discusdon. Col. JOINSTONE and Mr. JAMES wets not
aware of. sem tett; and that is, that in the Hundred

who was present. tells me that he said this. There are two
parties here, either of which may wash their hands of the

Ode or the other, a washing of hands will take plate at the
