A CERTAIN FIRAI, still living within 20 miles
IN the active partner Of which, II seems proper 10
give the ritlo of "Judse Soft Sauder, who has
been figuring largely of late in the way ofadvertis-
ing, bus after two weeks close application and ap-
parently racing for help, again prepared for, and
hoisted his safety valve, for letting off steam
Again the Judge would induce the public, to think
himself entirely unaffected by passing events Yet
at home he seems not tile affected by few state
mensoiacs which he appears to think ,have oflae,
been made in relation TO himself Indeed on first
examining said facts he blazcd like mount Vesuv JUS,
and manifested much of groveling beastness-
yet soon grew more reconciled, and seemed TO with
The past but sport, or rs dream. Yet, the coat
was such admirable fit that he could not dispose
of il, otherwise than by essening his magnitude
by way of the safety valve, therefore the Judge,
seemingly for the benefit Of his heah lets off the
steam as may be seen by his paragraph of June
4h which appears 10 be about important matter us
the steam fluid when fairly escaped from the boiler
and which Sigh, wind will carry beyond the ken
OF human vision. To remark at length upon The.
various topics contained in the paragraph referred
TO, would therefore be unnecessary,or 10 undertake
10 contradict any of lhe insinuaions Of the Judge
would appear hike indirectly presuming that he
usually does regard the truth, which am unwil-
ling at present 10 admit. am however willing to
admit, and am happy that have the pleasure of
agreeing with the Judge in a few particulars. For
am fully of his opinion that he not only has, but
ever intends, exercise the liberty TO use Whatever
language he peases IN all bis concerns, whether II
SUITS rules Of decency, or proprety, or not. And
the way the Judge has used This privilege is mos,
surely caution TO all men. also agree with the
Judge especially in his assertion TINT for him
to be accused of assocang with profligaio charac-
would be the last thing to wound his feelings
would not IN this way think 10 wound his feelings
bot would much sooner think To do So by app yng
to his character honorable epthets. BY any such
limitations l would only induce community TO be-
of his influence. For most surely he that
manifestly prdes himself in proclamation, proficiency
and parastical dealing cannot expect to be wounded
tn his feelings by being accused ofassocating with
like characters. Bnt for such individuals to boast
OF fairness and Of honorable dealing, and to
plain of Others wrongs in this repect is like ''Beel
zebub casting out devils by Bcelzebub the prince Of
devils" In regard to the alusion of the Judge, as
to selling sheetng at Sd to customer and IA els
to another, am not surprised; for the awful symp'
toms of the tIypo, Hydrophoba, and divers other
difficulties to which the Judge has been subject Of
late, have been such that he probably does not
know sbeeting that is worth Cd from that which is
worth ii cts And his barter deal affairs
perhaps The Judge is not that they have once
minated to me how the card was managed with
them to- make the thing work TO their advantage.
The idea seems 10 be that they get just much
profit most of their goods aud cal 1t cash. they
they call it barter; and the calling OF the thing
cash they to think will sound better to the
| customer and therefore work to their advantnge,-
This, if get the Judges idea, is his definition OF
soft sauder.
1t is very true as the Judge ntmates that have
thought 1t Just and equitable to let the custom
er which pays cash for his goods have them little
cheaper than the customer which pays in an arli-
Gle on which discount must be made TO get the
| cash l would have the Judge understand
that did not refer particularly to this kind of
reform 10 some other; yet if we can have
other would be thankful for reform in this respect.
The Judge wishes to be informed when he has
been guilty of asking one customer more than an
other will only say in answer 10 this, that
wish TO leave Ii tile room in The present anmber
of the Caiedonian for other matter; therefore
not consistently give him the list at the present
time AS to giving the Judge form for adverts
ing hereafter, if it will him the trouble of
rnnsacking the County of Essex for assistance,
might, perhaps. be willing to aid him httle.
Amongst adj the good and bad things about The
Judge, and his public documents, he does not pre-
tend TO offer any excus, for commencing without
prosecution, bis insulting innuendoes, by the way
of the press, only that he has perfect right say
what he has mind 10. l am well aware that the
Judge has no other reason, cannot, however, but
hope that he may be induced hereafter more
suitably to regard his privilege; Icocld also hope
that may not feel compelled to trouble the Editor
or the public with further characteristic delneatons
if however it should seem necessary / woul sug-
gest to the Judge, the propriey Of establishing n
new press tor the express purpose of publishing
such documents - ....-
