Iplaying, and stop his paper without being
ASKED to do it. We are charged with hav'
ing said we should lnjure him all We
could. We acknowledge that we told
him in his office, tina, he was the first cd
ilor who had proved traitor to the Liberty
party, in pulling down the Liberty flag
and hosting the bloody Wing flag; thai
so long as he advocated principles In COM
mon with ourselves, we did nothing to in
lure the circulation of his paper, but as
he had now arrayed himself against US as
an opponent, we should treat him as we
do all other Wing editors, viz: TO de-
crease their circulation and increase our
own. 1t was for this reason that we tod
him that we should do all in our power,
that was consistent, TO injure the circu|a-
ton Of his paper. e } Our motto is, sup
port the press that advocates our prlncl'
pies, in preference 10 ooe that openly ops
poses our cause, or what is worse, one
that is all things TO all men, first Pig
and then PUPPY a friend and an enemy
at the same time; these are the worst o.!
all men 10 deal with. e II Mr. Fl. wish
es to call hard names and attack our char
acier, we shall hereafter give him The
privilege unmo|esed, and If he chooses
10 support The Wing party, let the Wings
support him. a. c. c. B.
U.) "Hsometimes kicks back!' That
is rather dangerous operation, but think
not quite as unsafe as 10 have a charge
hiek forward! / wish the reverend gem
teman would let the patrons Of the Free
man see the charge put in for him, that
they may know whether the charge would
do right, should it Fkick back and hurt
me!
~ The 6loody Wing flag. l would
like to know on VIVA! principle am
charged with hosting JI0ody flag, when
| stated distinctly thai should not knows
ingIy support any m an for Safe or legis>
lative office who would no! do all in either
capacity that the strongest L liberty party
man could do. Is it because said was
more in favor OF the protective policy
adopted by The Wings than that adopted
by The other party? The Wings of this
SAKE do not profess to be in favor of slave
ry. On the contrary they profess to be
ready 10 do what they eau conStilutionally
for its overthrow and in their legisla5irs
capacity hare done ,ceU. They have gone.
and are ready to 60 as far as G. G. Briggs
could 90 were he TO oficiate in that capac-
ily. If then there is any thing bloody
about the Wing flag have hoisted, the
main part Of The Liberty men 10 this State,
& C G. Briggs among the number, must
come under the same condemnation; be-
cause they profess The same principles
adopted by Wings, that profess. Mr.
Briggs has shown his principle OF action
pretty clearly, by admitting that his first
business is to labor in decreasing my lis',
and the ncrt business is to increse his
ownl | am glad he saw fit to place his
order Of proceeding in proper shape. He
shows by this that he has not Sufficient
confidence, either in his own talents or
the merits Of his side Of the question, to
risk the paper OF an opponent by the side
of his paper. | would like to see him un-
dertake to get away from this inference,
either by lodging or kicking back"
(3.) Paul considered himself justified
in becoming "all things to all men,"
thinking thereby TO aoin some. The Rev.
erend G. G. Briggs don't happen 10 agree
with St Paul on this point, and thinks
such as do agree with Paul are the worst
kind Of men! ! would like to know what
cause Mr. Briggs has espoused, that have
opposed? As | understand the writer,
both of us claim TO be engaged in the an
Ii sIarery cause, and disagree only in the
m cans to be used in advancing it. Ac-
cordiug to the idea advanced in the Rev.
c. G. Briggs short cpistle, the man who
joins the Liberty party is pig and he
who believes in the principles OF the Wing
party although he discards supporting
slavery, is puppy This is rather a
touch of the sublime will thank this
Linine 10 let The nennle know which she.
