The communication Of DIR. s. l.. Holt
Of the % inst. has been received. We
said nj The commencement Of this series
OF communications, that though we were
willing that the question Of the division Of
the county should be discussed TO its full
est extent. we ourselves did not intend TO
take any part in il; and il seems from The
course our correspondent has pursued, tina,
he also is determined to keep himself aloOf
from il. This is, we believe, the seventh
letter received from him, and he has no,
yet uttered the first syllable Of his argu-
ment in favor Of division. elimination
has been his only theme; impugning the
motives Of Others, honorable men we know
they are, and whose intentions, we have
every reason 10 believe, are fully as pure
and free from selfslress as his own. Its
a mistake which he had fallen into, when
he said he had "a right, like the members
Of Congress, TO talk Of every thing in the
heavens, on the earth, or under the Garth,
sretPf he subject under discussion"
Our views on this head were distinctly
expressed in our paper of the 9th Of May,
and it is moi necessary here TO repeat
them. II The Speaker Of a House Of Re-
personalities shall think proper TO permit
tho members to accuse each other Of ut
tering deliberate and unblushing false
hoods" we cannot think that The exam
pie should have any binding force upon
: editors Of newspapers-certainly not up
on us. So far, we have been constrained,
by the peculiarly Of our position, to give
10 him license never before conceded 10
any Of our correspondents; but we think
the license has now been continued long
enough, and feel that we have full right,
nay, that il is our duty, TO "call the gen
! tlcEIan TO order" If he desires TO discuss
the question of division of the county,
we say still that our columns are open for
the purpose; but in doing SO he must use
language perfectly dccorous 10 all Others
not excepting the editor Of the HILLSIDE
rough Recorder.
In the communication before us, we are
rather arrogandy asked, who made us de-
fender general Of the court house Com
mlssioncrs, and every one else about Hills
borough concerned in building the new
court house! We answer that il is right
inherent in our position, and becomes dtt-
ty when they arc ~rongfully charged hy

sPanard with the horse brought before him. The pris-

selfin position to convict Hewas even about to re-
turn horse to him, when the Indian said ifyou will
allow me will prove that the animal belongs to me- >
Immediately he pulled off his cloak, and covering the
horses head, asked the Spanard Of which eye II was
blndl The robber was much embarrassed at the ques
on but nevertheless not 10 delay the court he replied
at hazard that 1t was the right eye. The Indian un-
covering the head exclaimed the horse is moi blind in
either the right or left eye" The Judge Immediately
decided that the horse was his.
