Mr.. EDITOR: The editor of the Bowling.
Green Journal says that "Citizen Of Pike"
will appear next week; suppose JUSTINE
enough to be read previous to the election,
and not in time for an answer from Demo-
craft. This advantage has been taken for
effect, but it will not avail the illustriou,
author anything. wish Citizen would
learn to be prudent, and Pursue a course
not calculated to %injure Il good man 10
whom he wishes to be serviceablr, by ad-
ministering doses TO the public through tie
columns of the SickLy concern known as tha
.'Mo. Journal Citizen you do wrcng 10
dose tile Wings SO often with your sicken-
ing compounds, without giving them some
thing to "work it off, if You continue TO
do this it i'll be more than they can 'bore.'
IF you wish to make your practice Ten
%efcial to the Wing party in this county, just
take my advice, and leave off practising
upon the people through the Journal, and
turn your attention especially TO the editor
o. the Journal. Blu: stop! let me think of
some plan by which Citizen can operate
Well, let me see. He can't be tapped for
the simples, because he, the aforesaid edi-
tor, is so badly afflicted with the "swell-
head" that a tapping operation might bring
about an explosion. To bore the .cdi.orfor
the "hollow-horn'' might be beneficial, but
this couldn't be done; because he don't be-
long to the horned tribe, and I tell you now
I'Citizen,' don't be mistaken, and undertake
to bore bis horns; it would be too good 4
Joke; for the long things which you see on
the Journal editors head are not horrs, for
there is nothing above his peppers as hard
as horn; its all too ST for horns. Well, hut
if not horns, what can they be? Why, a
pair IF 3ng ears,-he belongs TO the long
cared tribe of animals that are more boiS-
ferrous than handsome, and not the horned
tribe. Now, taking all things into Con-
sideration, the best remedy which / can
recommend is for Citizen to give the
editor of the Journal a large dose ef Fish
Hooks. Do this Citizen, and you will
do your party more service than YOU have
ever done heretofore; such a dose l think
would destroy the pompous feeling that
comes ovor him so often, reduce the un-
natural size of his craaium, and cover up I
that principle which makes the voice Of
one man as powerful as the voice offs thOus.
