TO. the Western Union.
Mr. Editor:
In your valuable paper of the 2oth May,
find +. appearing once more, with all tho
ponpo,iIy and cgoiism common, compaJa-
Hrsiy, to but few Of iraiI mankind, measuring
in bushcl what might be compressed into
Il NUTSHELL CHS own brain,) which produc-
ton, fear, inevitably will be regarded as
the legitimate or spontaneous Offering OF!
Il dcpravcd heart. Notwithstanding,
will give it Il few passing remarks, not in the
way ofurgumcnt, for that ca mot be applied
in answer to what he is pleased to call the
dessert.
Mr. f., with his usual sell important
style, bcsceches J. n. J. not to think him
dScourtcous; that the dessert Of the feast is
always reserved to the last! Whether it
was feast of fat things, will leave the
community to judge. 1t may not here be
amiss to inform Mr. +. that he is entirely
mistaken, Notwithstanding his general
knowledge Of mcnand things, in his suppo-
sition tina; Jasper is but supplement TO
j. n. J. II they have any affinity what
ever, TO each other, it is wholly accidcntal;
that Jasper had no knowledge OF J. \. j.,
nor any other person. Thus, his charging
it with being Il family concern is wholly
graiutous, and without foundation. The
gentleman +. so pcrlincntly alIudci to, and
is pleased TO make party to that commu-
nicalion, has no knowledge OF J. \. j.,
consequently his gastric illusions are not
we'll aimed, and furnishes another evidence
oltho vicious and wlnton attempt to dis.
paragc and pursue that inIvidual, but that
alIusion not being quite 50 loitnt as ON Il
former occasion, when the excitement was
of II different kind, will doubtless fall alike
harmless at his feet. For the exclusive
benefit Of Mr.. f., will mention the fact
that J. \. J. neither holds nor ever
held office either hcclc iastical, judicial,
civil or military; never having asked or de.
sired it. Nor is he an cNpectant, and per
chance might have escaped the dessert, had
Mr.. L. known him to be the humble inll-
vdual he is.
Mr., f., with all the cso,im of the gre
imy Yin illusion TO an idea Of j. N.J., says,
To use his own language: -" Now, sir, ad-
monish YOU that this though, is entirely too
yolumnous for my Uranium, in fact, | ac-
knowledge my inability to comprehend it,"
| will pass this with but one remark,
though startled IA, his stupidity, if his Gran,
Um has in il beet instead o! brains, am
not responsible Tor that.
Mr. +. wishes To get around his igno.
I rance in relation 10 the townships in Gun
county, by saving, "as the creek passcs
through Salt River township, the writer, il
he be not stupidity obiu5c, he will not fail
TO see the nppositcncsS o.. the term Lick
creek township" While in the former ar.
ticc, il | am not entirely mistaken, he use,
this anguagc:--"Ja3per, Lick Creek, and
/, Salt River townships" Can language it,
this be misunderstood! Thus You see hi,
cG,cncss in dolging facts for the purpose
OF hiding his Ignorance. To iolioW Mr.. +
through his long TRADES OF abuse ard bit
ter iuvcctivcs, is by no mcan' my lntcn
, lion, but only TO give him passing remark
or two, and wash my hands OF such Il task
, Indeed, was at Il loss to know whcthc

. There are many mysteries in nature, II
