The above is rare specimen Of meanness and i'm
pulence. 30 far from being misicd by the state
Sentinel, the editor Of the Gazette il mised at ALL
misled by hs own ignorance, which Is still mis-
leading him. Our first paragraph in relation TO
Mr.. AKrR's proposition true, the editor
would have known had he read the reports OF the
proceedings, or if he had been capable of under
standing paragraphs upon the subject. The long
and the short ofthe matter is this. The printer o.
the Muncctown Telegraph had been IN the habit ot
chargn about three tunes more than the fixed price
for Sherifs notices. which was felt TO be ev in
his ghborhood. Mr.. AKER. with good motive,
no doubt: introduced in the Senate, resolution
proposing to fix by law the price To be paid nj
such advertisements ind scrmlnatey al one d9iiIr.
Being practically unacquainted with tie business of
printing, lac did not see tn injustice he was unIn-
tentonaly about To iuhict upon the profession at
large, on account of the eXtorion practised by the
Wing printer at lIuncetown. \ s7uij ours how

motives and understanding must be- But the wing
editor of the New Albany Gazette. tor the purpose
OF casting slur upon us, passes all these facts
and through malice or ignorance jumps at his un-
Just conclusions. Ii he thinks libel upon of

such matters the one in question: let him and bis
