Nobody responded TO the

IN just as il The types Of Col. Best had moi

The County Commissioners in that mat
eI had done their whole duty, and we're IN
10 way Justly obnoxious 10 accusation and
buse. But neither the purity OF those gen.
Iemen's characters, nor the lallhluIness OF
heir public conduct was sufficient 10 pro-
ect them from accusations as malicious asI
hey were unjust and as false as they we're
But the injustice attempted to-
DO done was too evident 10 be mistaken, and
no effect whatever followed upon that ex-
pendilure of Danvlle ammunition. The
good people Of the county were not verdant
enough 10 swallow this pill Concocied Of
venom and faIsehood, and The priful quacks
,sho prepared it received permission to lay
ii away among tha! large collection OF med-
ic ines belonging to them upon which
the word unavailable" might every cor
rectIy and appropriately be written.
Not The leas. remarkable circumstance
attending this instance Of viiuperaIlon
was the stealing Of "our thunder" on the
occasion and attempting to make il subserve
their purposes! We had asserted the fac
that Columbia County was unjust!y deal
by in the apportionment of taxes; ~e had
afor research, arrayed facts and figures r
our columns TO prove this our allegation
and had expressed our determination ,c
asita,e the subject until justice was done it
the county IN this particular.
During all this time the large, lazy col
umns Of the IncNigencer were quite silent
|
and for ought we know, its conductors ant
correspondents profoundly ignorant in re-
ference TO the subject upon which we were
iaborinsl for The benefit Of our citizens.
Yet no sooner hal Ws made the poin
clear than these good neghbors of s,tht
InlelIigencer men, attempt 10 cut swell
by borrowing our indignation!
And mol satisfied with this appropriation
Of our lacls, figures and ideas 10 themselves
without acknowledgment, they attempt tt
turn them against our friends, the Conn'y
ICGnmiss!o who were no more responsl
making queer use Of stolen materials
oIackguardIng By their aid the friends of tn,
very person upon whom the thief, wa,
commilted
