A BRIEF REPLY TO FOLKS UP
SALT RIVER

TIME subscribers feel themselves again called up
| 4 on 10 make passing remark IN answer TO q
new set OF advertisements over the Signature oil Il
| Webb & Co. and c. l.. and G. G. Robinson, pub
lshed in two of The public Journals, printed at
| Montpelier although we consider II deoeatory 10
us and condcsLcndng too much Ia answer the ool-
hardy imposors, and would not do II did we suppose
| the public knew them well as we do III, rc'ore
we once more beg the ndulgen Of The public h lie
we cndcasor briefly 10 PRINT some lew oil 'he ia'se
positions those ae llemcn have taken relative 10 our
Cooking Stove Al first they come before the public
with advertisement stating thai IN The winlei ol
'sS d. S. Rowe. invented Il stove with an elevated
oven, and that in the winter ut 40, we, or linden,
stole The model, carried it TO Fisher Holmes,
procured some patterns, put the stove into operation
and by fraudulent means secured patent thereon.
We would here state that he Tilden and the RnwelI
| stove TWO in principle asa construction, ana
there not ate 10 the Rowe stove that bears any
analogy TO any plate in our stove. The stoves are
a. dssiDilar 10 each other az CSrsanPs and Wool
| sons except that both have elevated Owns. II was
| early discovered that there was new plate IN our
4 stove that was not % be found in the Rowel, or any
other stove then extani, called triple curve Ilale
| With this they declared war; this they said was o
invention, but out in the Stove 10y the suggestion
| of Mr. Holmes, which is false "a the nlcoTan, and
| that the truth might prevail Mr.. Holmes came ne
tore the public and charged them dmeclly with the
lie, and they have moi, dare moi, cannot answer
him. Here the eleven loot showed itself and it a2-
pears 10 have hoen their chie design since that tms
% scandaze and abuse u.s. and humbug the pubic
out of the idea they hao lied They then claimed
that the plate was invented by Elisha Town, aud
was used III Inc Town stove some years previous 10
The invention OF our soye but in Tins they were
qually unfortunate, the plate referred TO was rot
in tho Stove when il was patented nor was it pun
10 BY Mr. Town, and ii compares with the plate IL
our love a broad axe does with plough share,
or the above named gentlemen do with decent men.
And now date oil Dec IS and 4, they boast they
have ied the big guG, and we think they have and
like The negro, besmeared their new Goals for moth
ing. They have for the last three months been
throwing IN The face aud eyes of the public
tinued volume OF falsehood and abuse, and for whai2
For no other reason only because we have uhderta-
ken 10 maintain and defend the rights the laws OF
our country have guaranteed 10 us. II we have in
iurcd them, is there no honorable way TO get rem.
edy Are they compelled 10 kick, cuff and abuse
us they boast they have, by reason of defect in
the law? IS il but giving vent 10 their malignant
passions, which cannot be too mean for them 10
soop iol shame where is Thy blush We say
they have done rs wrong, and We take none bur
hon orable means 10 getthat wrong nghtCd. They
talk Of being stocked with the weapons of ruth
and justice. Is this equally false, the? Ii tue,
why not use them in their warfare with that awlul
Monster, Tiden's patent, instead of longer using
the weapons oil alsehood and see they do not have
better success2 They say they have provoke ed us 10
sue them; ana for this we ask how much credit are
they entitled tol and complain they were not sued
soon enough. We think there is no reason for This,
for we assure them Uncle Sam will put his veto on
their course soon as they wish, and IN his decision
they'll find a good deal Of X. X" kold k0nsola
lion j as the drunkald said when he took glass OF
cold water for the glass of gin. The gentlemen say
we let the October term pass without SUNG them.
True we did; and because we were obliged to; we
would have shown them the way 10 Rutland last fall
had they given opp ortuniiy. The truth il they
dared not sell stoves until suing lime out Tor The
October session, and fthe brave gentlemen as
well pleased as they pretend about icing sued, we
think they had better not boast any more abont sct
Ting cleared from the suit Tor twenty live dollars and
why is this Montpelier Gentleman, Mr. Webb, SO
much alarmed about the public being injured by us
while he is at the same lime selling the arclel
We regard our own interest as paran cunt TO public
in matters OF business, and rest couented, believing
that the public capable OF taking care Of them
selves aud il Mr.. Webb has u good rieht to max e
and vcnd our stoves, why was he in August last so
anxious 10 obtain permission, or willing give
us at least 200 dollars for the privilege OF castlng
and selling the sttve. We leave II for The pubic 10
Judge.
And now in answer TO MORE LIGHT" we
have only say they are men oil wonderful sagaci-
ttythai with the advice OF able counsel they dscov
ed that the patent law OF $50 waa not like the
cid law Of 49, and il appears from tho heading OF
their last advertisement they are possessed ofa little
ofhat super natural ar; OF cabbage, which they are
so much alarmed about, for fear they shall not
coed in making The public believe we are guilty OF
The crime they themselves have committed. We
only say to them they welcome TO our engraving,
but we should not like to have them maui and de-
form il so as to represent their old Rowcll slove.-
They have also made one other important discovery
which involves an enlie new principle Of law, and
say they are confirmed in The opinion by the Com
missioner of Patents; that is that there is no honor
BILE or legel way 10 yacate fraudulent paten-lho'
they were obliged TO kick. cuff and abuse the pa
entec until he could be provoked 10 sue, ana me
went TO trial and the court did no' sustain hls
action, why then he was beat wonderful diseeve'
ry indeed, and il true they are Justly entitled 10
