THE CHICKS AND OURSELVES.

We push several original articles aside this week,
to give place for the eflusion with which Aessrs. p
w. g. X. S. Chick have honored US through Tie col
umns of the Greenville Mountainccr. Preamble
and Resolutions will also be found, appended thereto
emanatinc from sundry boarders and soourncrs" at
this Southern Saratoga. "Audi alteran partcm"
being one of our fixed principles, we have thought
proper to publish these tasteful and talented produc
,ions that all who may have been poisoned by our
brief structure of the 25th ut may speedily receive
the antdote and forthwith spcw out the ieflecs Of
our naughty doFe. We choose to accompany the pub
lication With few questions, which may may not
be germain to the matter.
Do not the Propric,ors Of Public Establishments.
such as Hotels, Watering Places &C., generally OF.
pec be spoken of in the public prints according to
their merits or dcmcrils Is it not the universal
tom of travellers, journalists ct id gcnus, give
their candid impressions Of the comforts and dscom-
forts Of the various places Of public entertainment
which they may have "spcnt months, weeks and
days." ITO singularly beautiful climax contained
in the CHICK Rcsolutions)! Is it not right to make

When travels to the mountains, (hc very land Of
cows, cream and buternilk,) and stops ut an Inn
with the comfortable idea Of nice supper floating
through his BRAIN and when, upon goingsjnto the
cellar to get it, he finds his whole anticipation de.

bcred among the brilliant attractions of the said Wa.
,cring place, do they together form another case
in point under our third interrosatory But we III
ask no more questions-we are treating the suhicc,
more fully, perhaps, than it deserves. We will only
say to each one of the Chick Rcsolutionists think
ureu upon each Of the queries we have propounded
above, and if. afterwards you are not ready to smile
at your indignation nare.up of the 9th ins We have
given some Of you more credit for enlightened candor
than you deserve.
AS to the Mes'rs CHICK themselves, no one who
knows US will suppose for moment that We designed
to injure them. We spoke of them rs clever men,
lin the American Of the word of course.) and
expressed our surprise at what VIC then considered
undersigned negligence than any thing cl.s
That we did not entertain high opinion of their .s
tablishment. and that we do not now, (Chas. Mot &
Co. to the contrary Notwithstanding perhaps our
misfortune; but We certainly conscientious about
the mat,er. What earthly interest have We to be
otherwise!
Had our 'squib abou, "Cnrck's Springs" been
met in the candid, but goodhumorcd md even joco.e
tyle which characterized it, shonld have said no
upon the subject. But, scowl-d upon an it has
been, by the grand, gloomy and pcculiar fowns Of
some scorc Of "sojourners,' who seem to have un.
derlaken the championship of CnIcK's," and de-
nounced with all the fire and vehcmcnce Of in.ultcd
virtue by the Propretors themselves, we must needs
come to the conclusion that there must have been
deal of truth in the little picture VIC so hurricdy and
carcleSsly drew Of CHICK comforts and amusemenf.
And to conclude, We have at our fingers end, ready
to produce, if required, the names of gentlemen
enough to make complete set off to the formidable
attestaion of the CHICK committee, who coucur, in
toto, with our notions of this fur. famed Spa.
