After your attack upon me, perhaps it may
cause you no li,tle surprise 10 find that | am
sill alive, and able 10 do battle. Such, however,
gents, is the fact. In order TO proceed sysicma-
tically, | shall first say a word or SO 10 "Omega'
ofGloucester. You have, my dear "Omega, en-
dorsed all thai | have said against the Caucus Sys-
,em-and the proceedings Of che Convention, late
" held al King & Queen Cour Hcase, have con-
frmed me in my first opinion, and | have 10 re-
grel, that | suffered myself 10 be peis laded
against my OWL convictions, 10 be 10 any way
concerned il ii, ana unless | shall be bereft of my
senses. | shall never be concerned in another.
Your only excuse for having one, was 10 geta Free
School Candidate nominated, and The very worthy
gentleman who obtained il, did so only because
his friends pledged hin to be opposed 10 the Free
School System;- 80 that The very object YOU had
in holding a Convention has been defeated. Let
me set you right relative 10 my opinion npon that
subject. am an out-and.oul Free School man,
and will vote Tor no man who is not so: there.

King William. | know him well, and kpow
him 10 be alried and faithful Democrat-one who
has done more than yeoman service in The good
cause; and although he mas written a long arli-
Gle ana now and then thfu>,s pretty hard al me.
vet there is 50 much OF that which proves him 10
a friend, that | have OILY 70 add, that | take no
exception 10 his communication, and more parti-
%cularly 81, as Think, (nr, TO use a Yankee phrase

MIR. Jacks father had The right TO select a name
for his promising boy, and ".afob" was his choice.
So let il be. ! have a little, and but very little 10

should Judge, Esquire Jack. from The jargon OF
words that You have strung together, that before
YOU commenced writing, you were boiling ho;,
and that your POT boiled over, and you scalded
Yourself with your own wrath so numerically,
that you were pealed from head 10 foot, and thus
tossing and wrllhing with pain, you commenced
throwing your slime at alpha" but being weak
in mental and bodily strength, you could not fling

wash in It's muddy waters, with the liberal offer,
that if you be a limb-ot-the-law, and as there are
some tour-pence lawyers, and you may be one Of
that %"nniur," | will give you 10 the full amount OF
six-and quarter cents TO prosecute TO a Judgment
the claims for The fee, which you say, "Mine hos,

Of printing the acts and doings of your Glou'
cesier meeting, with The resolution you had pre-.
pared to nominate your friend as candidate for
The State Senate. Your apology for not calling
upon Colonel Dabney sooner, comes better late
than never. Bnt, dear Jack, it looks to me just
like ifyou were to visit me, and dinner comes on,
and | and my f. Emily were TO sit down and cal,
