Arkansas intelligencer., 1849-12-08


% Our amiabe neighbor of the Jsrazs' has
permitted his temper to g fly off the iande at the
lemerity of correspondent in or last Saturday 8
! paper. He beabors poor Q 1.-THE Corner" right
and left and occasionally kiks at u.s. Now, we
are meek non combatar4, and don't want even
to be 90 kicked into fsht - therefore beg our
good neghbor TO spo.o US.
| Our correspondent did inform us that the He
raid had refusel to admit his eson, and also that
the editor hsd given his reasons for so refusing.
Yet zee saw why ace should not take in the
inof1ensive wanderer. Hospitality prompted-the
good book commanded; and we obeyed these
higher obligations. We done so without intend
ing to give offence to our neghbor. He should
remember, that variety of reflections might have
prompted us. We might have thought he was
wrong in refusing admission to o. who only
wanted a corner''--his judgment might not bo
good--ho might not know what he ought to pub
lish. Not that thought any such thing. be-
cause we know he is the best judge of his own
business, and is alone responsible for the mani
in which he conducted his paper. We knew that
he done business in his way. In his last pa
per be boasts of having his &c own wav'' in these
matters. We hope he will not be unneghbory
as to deny the same privilege.
+ To be candid, neighbor, think you are wrong
altogether. The article is not abusive towards
either you or your correspondent. But you are
right if you think we should have refused to pub
lIsh article of personal character without high
grounds of provocation. You have suffered US to
be attacked in your columns--but it was long ago,
and we have buried the hatchet that.
You must expect, occasionally, in your odito-
rial career, such articles as 80 in the Corner -
and you either be prepared for them, aban-
don the tripod.

at Pittsburg in this State. 1t will compare favo-
rably with that which is imported. We under
stand that five hundred spindIes are kept going
and that in consequence of their being unable to
furnish the demand for spun cotton, they intend TO
increase the number to one thousand. We do not
believe that five thousand spindles can turn out
yarn enough to supply this country. The success
of these enterprising gentlemen give high degree
Of qualification to all who have at heart the reai
welfare of our young State and ought TO incite
our citizens in the different parts Of the West to
turn thor capital, labor, and enterprise, into other
channels, besides farming and stock raising.
Our country is admirably adapted to the pur-
poses of manufacturing. We have mill seats for
water power--coal and wood for steam power

ere long. An association of planters in Arkansas
county, and merchants in this place, propose to
erect manufacturing establishment, at q cost Of
thirty thousand dollars, for spinning and weaving
substantial fabrics. We trust that this project will
not languish and die of, like many others just as
profitable, which have been started in this COM
munty.
