Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1832-04-12


these gentlemen shall again represent
them.
Last Tuesdays Republican makes a very awk-
ward and clumsy attempt to answer our remarks
in the Herald Of the 9th inst. "OM Jackdaw,
and young Jackdaw," and at least two Of their
'ofcial associates'-are out upon us in that paper.
The effort is on the whole mighty slim affair
they whine and prevarica,e, and all that, and the
whole parade terminates in an indirect adms-
sion that all our allegations against the principal
editor and proprietor Of that Journal, are literally
true. "Young Jackdaw" (the little sub) observes
in relation to the article in our last as follows
''we can only say that from beginning to end
little sub has been very unfortunate in answering
in this way. Ii it not true, we alleged, that
the real editor Of the Republican is sore in his
heart in relation to his being turned out as re-
preventative last April, and by 100 majority' Is
it not true that the Republican was unfairly wres-
ed from mr.. Read' Is it not true that ever since
that event. that paper has been snugy located, not
only in the corner, but in the northwest corner Of
maj. Bulls store' Is it not true that maj Bull is
the principal, and Elisha X. Potter, esq the next
largest proprietor of this same Rhode Island Re-
publican? Is it not true that the youngster who
advertises himself the editor is now in the very
midst Of his teens' Is it not true that maj. Bull
roted for himself last spring, when mr.. Ruggles
beat him 90 votes? Is it not true that maj Bull
gave notice last April that he intended to run a.
gainst mr. Hazard? Is it not true that maj. Bull
said that mr. Ruggles sought the opportunity Of
running against him! Is it not true that mr.. Haz-
ard drew the reports in relation to the northern
boundary line and the masonic subject! Is it not
true that maj. Bull said in the hearing of several
respectable gentlemen, that if Vim. Sprague the
antimasonic candidate for governor would only
send him thousand dollars, he would be id
if he did not turn Hazard out' We ask maj Bull
himsefto say, whether there sis not word of
truth" in the above charges? lie dare not put his
name to the article which appeared in last Tues
days Republican which contained the ridiculous
falsehood, that there was not "from beginning to
end" Of the article in our last paper zone word Of
truth" The fact is, that ALL the allegations in
our last are as true as the Bible.-We can prove
most of them by maj Bulls own neghbors and
friends--we in fact can prove every one Of them
except two, by the most indlsputable evidence.
And as to the t,Do charges excepted from the gen.
eral mode Of proof as specified above, we will on
y say, that If maj Bull and E. r. Potter are them
seires to be believed, we readily prove that
those two gentlemen have frequently said, that
they are the principal proprietors of the "Rhode-
Island Republican,"
The last charge, which we presume was the
"unkindest cut Of all'' wherein very modest
speech is supposedto have been made by "second
Representative, we assure our readers that that
very part Of the article has been universally pro-
nounced to be true to the pery HJe-it is the very
man himself As we have neither time inclina-
tion or space further to pursue this miserable con-
cern, we will conclude by saying, that we are a.
bic, ready, and willing, to substantiate in a Court
of Law, most conclusively, ALL the charges we
made in our last against maj. Bull & Co.
