gininsl.
The special organ ofDr. Saundcrs--tllc
"Lynchburg Repa5fican" its issue oil
Monday last, presents its readers with a
rare literary curiosity in the shape of a per
sonal attack, by DR.. James Saunders, on
the editor Of this paper. The position Of
that gentleman, as one Of the representa-
tives Of this District, seems 10 require some
notice by us, of his extraordinary and UNI
provoked assault but before we proceed
to comment on his production--a compost
non, which, we learn. is eminently charac-
teristic of the man--wc must beg pcrmis-
mission Of our readers to lay the entire doe
ument before them. Weknow at apology
is due to them for publishing so rude and
iil-mannered an attack, the coarsencss and
vulgarity of which heft it rather for the
purlicus Of the tippling-shop or gaming
house, than for the columns Of ncwspa-
per; but then the thing itself must be seen
in order for the reader to appreciate its
ittlcness. With this view, and with de-
termination to practise no injustice even to-
wards DR.. Saunders, who has certainly for
ieited all claims to courtesy at our hands,
we proceed TO copy his essay. though he
will hardly thank us for giving notoricty
to his imbccility and vulgarisms. Here is
the document
For the Iynchburg Republican.
Man was born for trouble and sorrow Ia this world;
and to endure all manner of evil. His path is the
path of trials, and of tibuation: And his chicfcs,
consolation and support thcuncertain and precari-
hope that he may be the waytarer here, only Ia
brighter and better sphere hereafter. And mise
rablc sinner he is, he is himself ocnest. the nrch.
tcct of own woes and misfortuncs-aud has none
blame but himself for the unforeseen and multfa.
rious caanitcs that bcfall HIM Prone to evil as he
is. he is short sightcd-and wots the fell blow

What an obstyoy,ulous giunt this Dr. Saunders must
