The Woodstock age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1844-1845, 1844-07-25

we owe our readers at n distance, an apology
or rather an explanation, for few articles that n.
Peared in the Age of last week not couched in quite
as genteel language as they might have been. We
will explain We wished for once to show our read
ers as near as possible mirrored likeness of n
thing published in this village and acknowledged
as the bible of coonery-and as that thing, the N,
Picra, in order TO get noticed in the world, has
been the public vehicle of mud and dirt, and
low personal abuse of us for the last five or six
weeks, we deigncd barely for once, to replv in
ITS own language and manner, And knowing thai,
its shallowpated editors with their cambrick- NEE
die mtcecls (if any at a,) were not capable
OF understanding reason, we concluded to use the
style, excepting its lalsehoods, of that chaste and
beautiful dictionary ofpoical wisdom. How far
we succeeded, those who have Toasted upon the
pure dainiies of canine literature as they have
gushed out from the intellectual wooden brain Of
"Tom. P" can tell. We endeavored to
purchase few hundred copies of that guilt.edyed
political souvenir to distribute with the Age, ia or
der that our readers might see our purpose in at
tempting to initiate i-but it was no go-the pre-
cious thing was not to be obtained for the use of
vulgah lokah-foLahs, However, we wish our
readers who can, would obtain the last five OF six
numbers, and see what choice lit-bils of poli.i-
cal literature the coon epicures have been feasting
upon. We admit that in our attempted lkenesses Of
the Picra,we cannot draw quite so largely from
the broihcl vocabulary or gutter dictionary las the
editors Of that beautiful specimen of purity
but we shall let that pass, and allow them the !
palm, as habit and custom gives some people the |
advantage of others, occasionally True, it ,ras
dirty business, in noticing the contemplate
thing, but in doing So we of course had to assume
a garb suited to the job we were about.
Coming Unexpectedly, as such stuff did from us,
and its animal editors expecting us TO notice them
as we should men, we think it rather surprised,
and perhaps sienced them in their mean attempts
ut a personal warfare. Ifil should prove so, we
ioubt not the more decent portion of the coon
party will thank us, and the democratic party ex-
'use us for thus attempting to initiate lha, thing in
Noticing it. We may possibly notice the Picra and
is land pirate and grave-sone patron editor and
us toadey, in our oun style, five do, the
Gentleman who twaddled the "Baiiimore erpose"
o g'lbly, and "Tom.
lowers" whose soul is so small that it has often I
anced the devils hornppe upon pewter four
ence,'o the music of cutting down subscription to

erlaln occasion, ego with the common herd, twill
robably,as far as the circulation of the Age ex-
ends receive nolorety in regard to their per- {
onal affairs TO their hearts content. Howev- d
t wei shall take no further notice of their squibs Q
nd alsehoods at present for we consider their pens
no SANDER, and their lies no WONDER" emanaiins :,
