ted failure Of effect, as eviden, as 1t was
nortifying. Nobody responded 10 the
thunder Of the In,elligencer; no indignation
meetings were held, and the world moved
ca jus, as II the types OF Col. Bes. had not
been made TO any thing very unusual
or alarming!
The County Commissioners in tha, mat.
ter had done their whole duty, and were in
no way justly obnoxious 10 accusation and
abuse. But neither the purity of those gen
ilemen's characters, nor the failh(ulness OF
their public conduct; wa, sufficient 10 pro.
tect them from accusations as malicious as
they we're unjust and as false as they were
inexcusable. But the injustice attempted TO
be done was too evident 10 be mistaken, and
no effect whatever followed upon that ex-
penditure Of Danvile ammunition. The
good people Of the county were not verdant
enough to swallow this pill Concocted Of
venom and faIsehood, and the pniful quacks
who prepared it received permission TO lay
it away among that large collection of med-
ic ines belonging TO them upon which
the word unavailable" might every cor
rectly and appropriately be written.
Not the leas! remarkable circumstance
attending this instance of vituperaIion
was The stealing Of sour thunder" on the
occasion and attempting to make il subserve
their purposes! We had asserted the fac,
that Columbia County was upjus,ly dealt
by in the apporlionment of taxes; ,Ce had,
after research, arrayed facts and figures in
our columns 10 prove this our allegation,
and had expressed our determination TO
'gialc the subject until justice was done lc
tho county IN this particular.
During all this time the large, lazy col
umns Of the Inteiligencer were quite silent,
and for ought we know, its conductors and
correspondents profoundly ignorant, in re-
ference 10 the subjec. upon which we were
iaboringi for the benefit Of our citizens.
YET no sooner hal zoe made the poin,
clear than these good neighbors Of ours, the
lnlelligencer men, attempt 10 'cut SWELL
by borrowing our indignation!
And moi satisfied with this appropriation
OF our facts, figures and ideas to themselves
without acknowledgement, they attempt to
turn them against our friends, the County
Commissioners, Who were no more response.
BILE or blamewoIthy in any respect than the
man in the moon! This was certainly
making queer use of stolen materials
blackguardlng by their aid The friends of the
very person upon whom the theft was
committed
Felix Grundy once remarked about Gen
Jackson, that he was true sportsman anC
must always have a "a cock in the pit il
other words that he was always putting III,
licks into something or somebody, no mat
Ter whether 1t was the British, the Torie
The Creek Indians, or the Wings Tn
Editor Of the BuggIetonisns is a specine
of Gen. Jackson's kind of fighters, with hi
material difference, the General Away
succeeded in defeating his enemies, but ou
editor generally has the singular fortune c
being defeated himself. But unquesion;
bly, he and his are faithful warriors in the
own way. They have already this sprin
put the icks into the County Commission
ners, Mr.. Rupert, General Ross and other.
and we suppose Mr, Funston, our Congress
man, the other county officers, and ever
other prominent Removal man, of pul
: character may expect dose from the sam
u lquarIer'belween this time and the og-day
or al any rate before The October election
NeIl, 60 on gentlemen Buggelonians, f
ought we care, but recolecl that the Peop
'lntend in October TO turn out throughout Il
county and give one day for the purpo
of thrashing blackguards and doing iusli
