the Banker Griswold prefers another
charge Of libel against Us, he will be
able to find enc juror at least, who will

The State Printer is the last person
whom the ayaricious Advocate has att
hacked, because hefs probably making
money. There is a species Of palry,
low-life greedinees, In thus envying

when we can not get nthem ourselves.
Ethat is degrading TO our nature, and the
man that will do so ls unworthy the
name, forhe must possess avery small
heart indeed, and soul not larger than
a pin head. That the editor ofthe Ad-
vocate is one Of these,small souled en-
vious creatures, must beupparent TO all
who have read his attacks on the adj
veriising columns of THE paper; and his
TRADE on the State Printer only goes
10 prove still further, what pattern

gresdlness end Govetousness OF the Ad>
vocate editor is we'll illustrated in an
ahecdote we heard somewhere. There
was an old lady in England; who once
a year called together all the boys of her
parish and gave them feast Of plum
pudding. It so happened on one occa.
sion, as she was going round among
them, she observed little urchin with
his mouth andpate both full biubberine
away like a good fellow. Upon asking

time, andlwas crying because he wa

told him. TO put the remainder iu his pocl

than ever, and said bis pockets wer'
full loo. So it is with the. Advocate
After eating out-of the County Treasur,
for the last ten years, and filling hi
pockets into the bargain, he is now blu
bering out, not because he can'teat an
more, but because there are elhers VIII
can eat mote than he can.
