A BRIEF REPLY TO FOLKS UP
SALT RIVER

TINHE subscribers feel themselves again called up
l. on 10 make passing remark in answer to
new set Of advertisements the signature OF Z A
Webb & Co. and G. l.. and c. c.. Robinson pub
lIshed IN two of the public Journals, printed
Montpelier, although consider il derogatory to
us and condesCendng too ,uch to an swer The TOOL
hardy impostors, and woul not do it did suppose
the public knew them q $ well as do therefore
we once more beg the indulgence OF the public h lie
we endea'or briefly print some few OF the false
positions those gen. emen have taken relative 10 our
COOKING Stove AT first they come before the public
with an advertise ment stating that in the winter OF
'sS D. S. Row eli invented stove with an elevated
oven, and thai in the winter OF 40, we, Tden,
stole The mo del, carried it TO one Fisher Holmes,
procured 81 Jme patterns put the stove into operation
and by .anduient means secured patent thereon
We wo aid here state that the Tiden and the Rowell
stove are two in principle and construction, and
there ale in the Rowell stove that bears any
ana iogy TO any plate in our stove. The stoves are
as dissmilar TO each other as Conanps and Wool
CONS except that both have elevated ovens. 1t was
early discovered that there a plate in our
stove that not % be found in the Rowell, any
other stove then extant, called triple plate.
With this they declared war; this They said was o
invention, but put in the stove by the suggestion
of Mr. Holmes, which is as false the alcoran, and
that the truth might prevail MIR. Holmes came be-
tore the public and charged them Directly with the
lie and they have not, dare not, cannot answer
him. Here the cloven foot showed itself and it a2-
pears to hcen their chief design since that time
10 scandalize and abuse U.S. and humbug the pubic
out OF the idea they hao lied. They then claimed
that the plate invented by Elisha Town, aud
was used in the Town stove some years previous 10
the invention OF stove; but in hIs they were .
qusy unfortunate, the plate referred to was no,
in the stove when it was patented, was it put
in BY MIR Town, and 1t compares with the plate in
our stove broad axe does with a plough share
or The above nan,eJ gentlemen do with decent men
And date OF Dec. 23 and a. they boas thew
have fired thcir big gun, and we think they have and
like the negro, besmeared their coats for moth
ing. They have for the last three months been
throwing IN the face and eyes Of the public one con-
,inued volume OF fa!sehood and abuse, and for wha2
For no other reason only because we have underta-
ken 10 maintain and defend the rights the laws of
our country have guaranteed 10 us. II we have in
iured Them is there honorable way to get a rem.
edy Are they compelled 10 kick, cuff and abuse
they boast they have, by reason Of defect in
the law? or is it but giving vent 10 their malignant
passions, which cannot be too mean for them 10
stoop tot o shame where is Thy blush We saw
they have done Us wrong, and we take none but
honorable means 10 get that wrong riehted Tbev
talk of being stocked with the weapons Of truth
and justice l. this equally false or tine? If uue
why not use them in their warfare with that WIZ
Monster, Tilden's patent, instead Of longer using
the weapons Of falschood and il they do not have
better SUGGEST They cay they have proyok ed us 10
sue them; ana for this we ask how much credit are
they entitled to2 and complain they were moi sued
enough. We think there il no reason for this
for we assure them Uncle Sam will put his veto on
decision
they'll find good deal of *. X !" [kold konsola.
ton j as the drunkafd said when he took class Of
cold water for the glass OF gin. The gentlemen saw
we let the October term pass without sung them
True, we did; and because we were ged 10; we
would have shown them the way TO Rutland last fall
had they given opportunity. The truth il they
dared not sell stoves until suing lime was oct Tor the
October session, and If the brave gentlemen are as
well pleased as they pretend about being sued we
think they had better not boast any more abon oct.

why is this Montpelier Gentleman MIR Webb. So
much alarmed about the public being injured by us
while he is at the same time selling The same artiee7
We regard our own interest param cunt 10 public
IN matters OF business, and rest coutened believing
that the public are capable oil taking care OF them
selves; and if Mr.. Webb has good right 10 max
and ve1d our stoves, why was he in August last so
anxious TO obtain our permission, willing TO givr
us al least 200 dollars for the privilege Of casting
and selling the slCye. We leave il for The public TO
Judge.
A nd now in answer TO "MORE LIGHT we
have only 10 say they men OF wonde sasaci-
~ that with the advice OF able counsel they discover
ed that the new patent law OF '36 wac not like the
Old law OF 49, and it appears from the heading of
Their last advertisement they are possessed OF little
oil that supernatural ar; OF cabbage which thew are
so much alarmed about for fear they shall not sue
coed in making the public believe we are guilty of
the crime they themselves have committed We
only say 10 them they are welcome 10 our ens,aying |
but wo should not like 10 have them maui aud de
form II so as 10 represent their old Rowell siova
They have also made other important discoye,v
wh'ch involves an entlle new principle Of law and
say ,hey arc confirmed in the opinion by The Com
missioner OF Paents that is that there is no honor
Die or legal way TO yacate fraudulent palent-tt =.
They were obliged TO kick. cuff and abuse III, '''
'enieo until he cond be provoked TO sue, and ~ H.
case went TO trial and the court did not ,s,o' ~,
action why then he was beat. w onde c ! ne
