"a tohi2 for The horse, brittle for The

Under the above head the editor Of the
Polk whistle, in this town, inhis last num-
her, appears to be running tilt at some
citizen Of the WAig party--we know not
Iwho. He speaks Of that citizen who, IN
his sublime wisdom he chooses TO call
h"Pgf," us having written an article for
the "1fH- Boy," which it seems has reused
the temper oof lhe Policeman Of the Crisis,
Hespedks about the citizen lie complains
.of as having ct one time written articles
.criticising his (the Crisis man's) Latin and
French. lnano;her paragraph Of the same
article he says, in substance, that said
puff" las he calls him) undertook last
winter to correspond for the Free Press,
and that he is SO llitor0te that the editor
had to correct even the orthography Of his
articles. Strange jumbaof Inconsistencies

spell the common place words of the Eng

lieve the whole about, ,SteubenUiiie and the
chaStiscment, is an unnitigated talsehood;
and that it originatedin the distempered.
brain of the editor--perhaps it is some OF
his "fction" for which he claims he was
once conspicuous. If the story has any
foundation in fact, lethim name the man
and give the proof, If the Crisis man is
anxious to follow his neighbors to Steu-
benvlIe in order to find something against
them, it is two handed game. The Crisis
man has been in Steubenville himself, and
no doubt If we were mean enough to tol-
low his tracks in that same town Of SGeu-
benvile, but that we might fndmGterial
for as many "e0ood cuts" at his own ex-
pense as that of any othermmof misplace.
But to rap the climax, he talks about en-
terng the arena with those who "has MOTH
ing at stcke." When the Crisis man UNI
dertakes to stand on his dignity so much
as to 6hun q tilting match, because lis,op-
ponent "has nothing at stdke,' he ought
not, from his lofty emlnence, to look down
on sublunary things. But we leave him
and those who have nothing sat stdke" to
settle theruwn matters in their own way;
at the same time 'we'cannot avoid notc-
ing the disposition of the man to go away
back to Steubenville; verify, he ought to be
taught that those who live in a particular

thing. DO you take!
