IT'S with mems judgments as their watches, none
Go just alike, yet each believes his sown--PoPE.
The Judge thinks he is right-we think
otherwise. Those who read The controversy
are al liberty to judge for themselves of the
questions q. issue. We are pleased to OBJ
serve thai political differences are no, likely
to engender personal unimosities. May we
not indulge the hope that, as the controversy
progresses, our personal friendship will be
strengthened
The Judge speaks Of the printing business
in very fauering terms; for which he will
please accept our thanks, and the assurance
that, should fortune favor, we expect, before
many years, 10 rejoice in The peaceful and
independent pursuits Of tho agriculturis,
There is, however,, chnrm--a fascination
about ",he art preservalive Of all arts"
which renders il difficult TO entirely remove
printing.ink from ones linen. after il has
once been thoroughly stained. Should op.
porsuni.y serve. we shall devote column or
two 10 this subject, in future number.
We do not regard it a, all strange thar
so grea, proportion Of printers ore Wings.
II is only surprising that any Democrats
should be found among them. Nor can we
understand why this should induce any man
10 feel "wuly glad' lha, he did not learn The
business. If "well.s,ored mind, and q
more Than ordinary share Of intelligence y
induces the adoption of Wing principles, as
The Judge n'imales, and as we believe, there
certainly should be no disgrace attached to
The name OF Wing. Thai SO many are bach.

and, considering The circumstances, is rather

gance. They care nothing for money, only
as il serves their present necessities. Few
ever acquire wealth; being unwilling 10
make the sacrifices necessary 70 obtain il;
and should one Of this class become sud.
denly wealthy, his wealth would soon van.

sympalhelic. their creates. misery seems 10
be in beholding suffering, without The power
TO relieve it. When married. their families
alternately reyel in luxury and pine for want,
ss'hey are peculiarly fortunate in the

TheJudgo attempts no difec. denial Of our
lsst,a'emen,s; no defence Of his positions; no
adaiionnl charges upon The wings; bu,
attempts 10 "misdirocl" his readers, by un.
warranted use Of quotations from our reply
to his former letter. For insmnce: all who
read that reply, will remember .ha. the
"horde of trained fighting charuc,els," were
the friends Of the Judge. He now ,alks Of
def nding himself against this same horde.
as though he had any thing to fear from his
friends. Numerous instances of the kind
might be pointed out; bu, our readers can
easily perceive them. And ye. he insinu.
ates (for he seems 10 be afraid TO speak out
plainly,) that we "misdirecl our readers, by
misnpplicalion Of commas" &c. He re,
minds us Of pooraclloW VIC met not long
since, who had become so intoxicated ,hti
he was willing 10 be. all he possessed, there
was no. a sober man in the town. The
Judge is certainly worse man than we had
ever supposed, If he actually would do so
many mean things, il he only had an op.
pOrnnity. We feel "TuIy glad" he did moi
learn the printing business, If such is his
disposition.
We said DR.. Olds ridiculed sacred ,hings
The Judge denied ii. We quoted, as near
as could. be recollected, portions Of his Of.
iensive language, and called upon the Judge
10 correci any inaccuracies. He talks ol
sentences iransposed, false punctuation, etc.,
but fails to make any corrections. If il
suits bis taste any better, we can insert "lhe
third day | rose again" in smaller letters.
The sense is not altered at all thereby. DR..
Olds sill lies "under the severe impu,asion''
Of ridiculing sacred things.
/ We cannot exactly understand who the
Judge'a'ears by harthigeminded Whig,.
who would commit petit larceny, &c. II
The Judge will be kind enough 10 give US his
hnme, We shall certainly beware OF him.
lie is, doubtless, a imam Of straw, created
lby disOrdered imagination, a, whom the
Judge, Don QuixO,e.'ike, can hurl his "abu.
