bier trys to Take by storm; ! would ask
those boys, whats the matter? what makes
you Hollow SO loudF Is your TipecGHOs
Boat sinking with youR II 80; come over
to old Undertook, and she will take you
safe to land.
J Mr. Scribbler, has conclusively proven
that am figuring for the Legislature, s.
advises me as friend to quit writing for
a newspaper at "least, till learn to
SPELL" have had this matter under con
sideration for he last two or three days,
aR1 have come to this conclusion, that,
should take his advice, before l coald
learn all tie rules of Orthography the elec
tion would be over, and then, 1 would
have nothing to write about. And again
| have thought it more than likely II |
was hand on board tn, Tipecanoe Boat,
perhaps, | would be allowed to Iabour!-
However this is out Of the question now,
for, from the noise ofthe hands on Board !,
she must be going down.
| am some what astonished at Mr. Serb
bier, as am Republican and of course
a man ofIiberal principles, that he should
attempt to confne me, TO the arbitrary
rules of orthography; especially when or.
thographers ara so hard to be found; even
Mr. Scribbler himsef has neglected to
spell his own name (ScribIer) which &C.
cordIng 10 Walker ought to be spelled
(scribblar,) and this is not ali: Mr. s. has
mispeIIed several of the words that he al.
tempted TO correct of mine, ofler his boas
ting. Truly he has proven himself TO be
a smart man. When 1 am elected to the
Legislature he shall be Sheriff OF Carroll
county.
Mr. S. thinks | have diviated a little
| from the truth in some Of my statements;
and therefore comes TO the conclusion
that to correct falsehood was not my aim
in writing for the public. have since
re. examined my former communication
and can discover nothing in il bat what |
believe TO be true, and as one Of US must
be rong, let US enquire upon whom the
falsehOod rests. As it respects the charge
lin MIR So outset brought by me, against
the Carroll Free Press,) it is not true as
it there stands charged. And again al.
tho the Van Buren meeting was got up
on two or three days notice, and as many
of the party even in Town had no notice
Of it, yet it consisted Of more than a pei
sons, as stated by Mr. S. and more thaa
81 eitherl and further the Van Bureu
meeting did not commenced its session al
enc o'clock as stated by Mr. S. neither
did it adjourn until six o'clock or after,
and at or about this time in the evening
the Harrison meetIng (Which had been SO
advertised 10 the paPer, and on that day,
on the posts Of the doors) commenced its
session; for as 1 returned from the Van
Buren meeting in company with num-
ber oil others before sundown, l passed
the committee who were relireIng TO draft
resolutions for tho Harrison meeting. 81
much for the truth Of -. Several o
the statements in Mr. SIS. severe castiga
tion. wonder if his object was to cor
rect lalsehood!!
Mr. S. appears to labour necessarily tc
let the public know who | am, by dishon.
orable illusions and individual personal
tiles! which evidences bad heart and 4
disordered mind, which only in this cast
deserves passing notice: but 1t may be
possible that he will yet recover, as biz
thirst for Office and zeal of party may
have only led him astray for season.
The only argument offered by Mr. s. il
this: that Martin Van Buren, attePted il
the N, Y. Convention to keep the election
of Justice oil the Peace out of the hands O
the people and TO prevent a certain class
of poor from the right Of suffrage. Al
this charge with many others have been
, amply reluted from time TO time by ableI
pens Than mine, and iC reference be haC
, to the first page Of this paper, the reader
, will observe it again refuted. But sup
pose il is all true that is said about Var
Bulen in relation 10 the right OF Suffrage
would that disquallfy him for President
Has the President anything TO do with lht
suffrages of the people in his official ca
pacity. If so, why was not the SAINT
! charges brought against Jefferson, Madi
son and Monroe: they all held the doctrir
that poor men ought not to have a vote
and that Justices Of the peace ought not Il
bs elected by the people. This 10 but al
. other method Of attempting TO misead OIL
deceive the people. As | shall inVesti
gate this subject more thoroughly in my
, reply to Buckeye; shall dismiss M
, Scribbler for the present; and when | all
elected TO the Legislature | will have hIn
F., presented with Pewter medal, and oh
, tain for him a new name; one that he Cal
f spell. -
