Oursclf--Having few leisure moments, we
have come to the conclusion to lay before our
readers some r:he causes why the editor Of
the Hamburg Journal has, for some time past,
acted so uubecoming the dignity of an editor
towards us. We do this, not with view of an.
swering his unparalleled blackguardism, but
to show the world, that this district contains

to any means TO carry his point. Until the ap-
pearance of "CarUlina," in our columns, for
aught we knew, we were npon the best terms
Upon the appearance of the second or third

began to think he had not acted in good faith,
and his course towards us since has convinced
us, that their is not one iota of the dignity and
generosity which ought TO characterize the
course of an editor belonging 10 bin. Having

age, took from the roof of the Academy, upon
which we got by means Of the lightning con-
ductor, some scraps of lead, for which we and
those connected with US in the transaction pro-

editor Of the Journal The manly principle that
he oughtt0 possess, he would tell the story Of

We have paid for our office by the sweat of
our brow, and not by the proceeds of that lead,

accused the editor ofpurchasins the establish

accused him of being as Rat we will not deny;
but, had we for moment thought, we should
not have ever given him that title, as he is not
practical printer, therefore cannot come under
that appellation, bad as it is, but should have
been riyied, what he really is, an haLEp,iee jack

his own words, that he has shifted his position
