SATURDAY, JUNEl.lS33

To Abafr Hdiaes.-Ne claim the in-
diligence ofour good natured patrons and
friends. for introducing this gentleman
again to their notice, but when man
so far leaves the dignity Of a gentleman.
as he has done, he deserves to be held up
as a mark fpublic odium.
From the last number of the Western
Tunes, discover that some one has again
dipped their pen in "wormwood and gall
for you, and attempted to throw column
and half Of dross upon me. In this pro-
lduction YOU reiterate the assertion. that !
Intentionally mangled the copy All
have to say to this is, that it is FALSE !
HOOD You make no attempt TO prove
the charge; but if any one who feels in
terested enough to call at this office and
compare the Herald with the Palladium,
they will find that we have told the truth,
and nothing but the truth. If the errors
Of which you complain are SO manifest
why not point them out? You dare not
attempt it, You cannot do it.
You next say, that | have published
thirteen columns against you! Will you
be SO good as TO point them out! You
made wanton and unprovoked attack
upon me, and 1 defended myselfin an ar
ticle Of a column and half. have pub
lishcd naught against you. Every man
is justitiable in using the best weapons he
has in self defence But perhaps you
think Messrs. Hook and Sutherland's mar
rativc an attack upon you. Is your name
mentioned IN u single instance by them
No. But you say, sit is burlesque on
s'my narrative" Take it on this grouno.
Is it probable that burlesque would have
been attempted, had your narrative been
couchcd in plain and sentlemanly terms,
and not full of crinsing sycophancy, and
interspersed with hypocritieal reflections
thereon 1t is tr,te, but true maxim,
that a man will always Judge others by
himself. On this hypothesis, and this
only, can YOUR conduct be accounted for.
: Thinking every one as wicked as your
self, you needs must put on every shoe
that fits you,and ''iaise the hue and cry''
against both maker and vender, without
stopping to inquire whether it was intend
! ed for YOU or not. Perhaps, also, it may
/, be placed in part, to yourvanity. 1t is pos
lsible for you to be so vain as to think
yourself so great star, that nothing can
be thrown from the press, without refer
ence directly or indirectly to you. But
you are altogether mistaken. The world
| goes on, | presume, much in the same
! way that it did before our existence in it,
I The affairs Of government are conducted
about as well as they would be, if you
:. were at the helm. The people of this
, county could get along just as well with
out, as with you. And Archey Murphy
might have been recovered at as little CT
{ Pense without your agency as with it,
: As the extracts of letter from our Ea-
r ton correspondent seems to have thrown
you into a fever, will just state more
fully than heretofore, tho circumstances
, ofthe case. The letter was received by
e me Oh the same evening that Mr. Ilaines'
, attack, and was not written for the pur-
J.. pose Of publication at all. Whenyou ''lit''
D on my SO unceremoniously, | wrote for
D liberty to publish it, and received permits
7 sion without hesitation Here it is,
81 have read it (alluding to Abner's ar
ticle,) carefully, and felt quite indignant
on observing his unconstitutional attack
upon you; but console myself with the
+ idea that you would repay him, yea to the
y uttermost farthing In doing which you
e are at liberty to use the letter which GU
a received from me.
The writer is we'll acquainted with YOU
is young man, and more likely to
know precisely yourstanding among your
associates, than those Of a more advanced
age, whose own dignity Is always suffi-
!, Gent to awe down the boisterous foolery of
e imbecility. You demand his name; but
: as am not, just now, in the humor Of tel
. ling names, perhaps you may know him
by few ncgatire qualities. In the first
, place he never wrote a speech on the

n half a dozen times in different places for
