say few things concerning the relations of the
city with the country, and the causes of our
commercial embarrassment. We have received
great many expressions Of gratitude for the
article, and some substantial tokens Of APP
proval, both from the merchants and mechanics
in the city and the farmers in the country. We
knew we were stirring upa hornets nest atthe
time, and We were not disappointed when the
varmnts began to buzz. Horses will kick"
and hornets will sting and every body knows
that the "galIed Jode winces." We have no
epthets to handy with assassins of character.
We have 10 controversy with a coward so mean
as to be unwilling to write over his own sigtla-
ture. We simply say that we shall pursue our
own course in the matter of what articles we
shall publish, end what subjects we shall dis
cuss, regardless of the advice Of pctIorgcrs who
write under foreign signatures, and feign regard
for truth and truth-oying sheets. And if the
editor of the Democrat chooses to endorse the
articles OF his correspondents, by giving public
ity to them without dissenting from the views
Xpressed-Why, we have no controversy with
him. WGa are glad that the farmers of the coun-
try, and the workng-men and honest merchants
of the city, can know his position. There is
very large majority of our citizens who are en-
gagged in merchandising and trading, who know

got behind fence TO throw stones at us as we
have passed. There is quite large number of
talented, whoIo-souIed good-hcarlcd lawyers in
our city, who like to see the farmer and me-
chanic prosper, and would advocate their rights
with relish and good will that would assure
any body HAT they would not connive at the rob-
berry of a farmer, or scrawl cowardy attacks
under forged signatures. 1t is well and pecu-
farly fitting that the farmers and laborng men
should know what paper advocates, and what
are death on" their interests. "Out of the
abundance Of the heart the mouth speaketh.''
Is it because we asserted in that article that
call we need to ensure mercantile success, and
ITS ally commercial greatness, is liberal and
very different policy on the part of merchants
and business men towards the farmers in the
country, (who are the real back bone Of the pros
perity of any place. and towards the working
men of their own village" that we are met with
the pety-horriicd cry from the correspondent Of
the Democrat 1t would be the best thing that
ever happened in this city, if the Gaming editor
and his scandalous sheet were cleared out fir"
Can't the Democrat endure the thought that we
have always worked for living? Is this spleen
thrown out because we are not of the LEGAL
profession! Has nobody a right TO express
opinions, unless he is rich enough to live with
out toll, or too proud to perform manual labor for
bread If that is the issue, we are not unpre-
pared for it, If our readers in the country will
