Our Next Paper.

We think we have right TO ask little in.
diligence Of our readers. Since our con.
neclion with this paper. it has been issued
regularly every week, although most of the
time, we have found |. necessary TO work
rather harder than is conducive to health,
owing 10 the sickness of hands, and other
causes. We are now wi.hou. sufficien,
help, and unless we can get the righ. kind,
we will no. have any more. We are now
In the midst Of the holidays, when every
one else is enjoying liule recreation. |,
is also the close Of the year, when all busi.
ness men should examine their books, make
their annual settlements, and see how mat.
lers stand. Our senior partner proposes q
visit TO his relatives in the city. Under
all these circumstances, it may be ,ha, we

L.
extracts from the speech is conclusive evi-
dence that we have, q, least, one informant.
We have more than one; and IL we consid-
cred Il necessary for our defense, we doubt
not they would cheerlully consent TO the use
Of their NAMES. But we regard it altogether
unnecessary. II their statements are true,
and we have no reason 10 doub, them, what
good end can be accomplished by publishing
their names. More Whatever. On the con.
lrary. we can conjecture much evil as the
result; as. for instance, angry discussion,
bitter feelings, severed friendships, &c. Ii
is no. every man who can retain his good
humor in discussion like this. Should we
surrender this discussion TO our informanis,
we are quite certain the same kindness and
fra,ernal regard would no. long characterize
il. The disposition Of an editor, like the
upper surface Of an anvil, is polished by
continual pounding; while that Of another,
like the heated metal from the forge, is rem.
dered more sharp and cutting by the same
process.
The Judges sarcasm is peculiar. We
feel obliged TO him for pointing u out in this
article. Blu. for his assurance tha, the par
agraph in question was Sarcasm only, we
nigh, have mistaken Il for something quite
the reverse. But as he sometimes writes in
an eccentric and ambiguous siyle,' be need
moi be surprised If his meaning is not COM
pretended at alb times.
The Judge, we presume, thinks 10 perplex
us by using so many legal ,echnicaliIies.
We know very little abou. 'subpoenas' 'a..
tachmen,s,' 'cost.bills,' fees and the like,
and rather than be bothered with such things,
we prefer to answer all charges ourself
Accept, in conclusion. the assurance OF
our esteem and high regard for your many
excellen. qualities Of head and heart,
and may you, with your family and friends,
enjoy "Happy New Year."

Our State Senator.

We deeply regre. that The course pursued
by Mr.. Gushing this winter is no. such as
to give satisfaction TO grea. portion of his
constituents. He had certainly right to
introduce his black law, and 81 eak in favor
OF it, and sustain it to the best of his
ability; but he had no right to state ,ha,
it was the voice oI his constituents. We
believe Meigs county would vote TWO to one
agains. it. Whatever his constituents in
Gallia and VinIon may think of il, we know
that Meigs county repudiales il, and does no,
desire It's views misrepresented,
