CHICKS SPRINGS, Sept. Q, oa.
DfR EDITOR We send you for publication
Preamble and Resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted ut q meeting OF the boarders
at Chicks Springs, on the first of this inst.
The proprietv Of this meeting and the sub
stance of the Preamble and Resolutions, were
suggested to our guests on seeing IN unjust
attack which one of the Editors of the Edge
field Advertiser saw fit to make on this watering
place, in a number Of that paper Of the 25th OF
last month. You will perceive, Nr. Editor, on
referring to the number of the paper above
mcntionel, that the opinion which the iastldlous
Editor has pcnned of Chicks Springs, and
heralded forth to the world as Of great conse-
quencc, is Numerically opposed to the opin-
ions Which the boarders Of this place have en-
pressed in the Resolutions adopted by them.
They a:c not only differed with the gentleman
in opinion, but they have done us the kindness
to furnish, list of their names for publication,
so that the public may know who they are that
differ so widely with the refined Editor 1t we
are not greatly mistaken, the public will readily
recognize the name of some, at eas:, on thls
list. who are as competent by age, experience
and opportunity, to judge of the essentials OF
good fare and we'll kept hotels, rs this Editor
who sets himself up as an cplcurean Judge.
We leave it to an impartial public to decide
whether he or they are right in the opposite
conclusions TO which he and they have arrived.
We believe, however, that the public will, ;s
We here do, pronounce the charges made
against Chicks Springs by the aforesaid Editor,
to be utterly uDcalled for. In truth, we had
cherished the opinion, based on the number and
great responsibility of the visitors who have
freouentcd and remained at Chicks Springs for

in succession that we had kept respectable
house and we did not know that any one held
acontrary opinion, until the report OF thisvery
extensive up.country traveller, i'll his quasi
eubernatoral review, assured Us that the author

We were. however, somewhat surprised that
he who had so often appeared before mixed
crowd, and sung negro songs and said negro
sayiags for their amusement, should turn with
such nauscated horror from the amusement
which some of the young gentlemen saw fit TO
have with Gabe, the rustic. We had rather
supposed that $50 it Gabc!" "Hurrat for

would have aroused into full activity the Edl-

for the other, when the two possess such =
striking similarity. If we mistake not they
will, like most men, wonder why the Editor
did not join in eXclaiming hurrah for Gabc,
and the like, then sing dandy Jim, and finish by
sjamping about, turning about, and dancing

Now, we care just nothing At all for the
opinion which this Editor may entertain for U.s.
or any thing that appertains to Us, nor will We
stop to enquire whether or not hi. hostility to
us may or may not proceed from little. heart
burning, because extra attention was not paid
to his hghncss over and above every body else
We are assured of one fact, that the great body
Of our numerous visitors are altogether pleased
with our fare and treatment to them, and that is
what We greatly dcsire-and for which We toll
hard. 2. w. g. Il. S. CHICK.
