MrssRs. EpIroRs:-The public of late
have heard so much about "clrrency." ',il-
legal issues" slow rates" &c., that the in
terest in continued articles upon the same
must soon cease. | wish, however, TO put
upon record for the public benefit and in
formation, certain hypothetical reasons,
which may account for the sudden and yir-
| tuous indignation exhibited against the is
sues OF Messrs. PAGE & Bacon. One must
be as blind as bat and short sighted as a
mole, not TO see the direction which all at
lacks on these issues have taken. Under
cover Of pretended regard for public inter-
est, the worst passions of the human heart
have sought the columns of the Republican,
as a channel through which TO pour forth a
Hood OF venom upon men doing more for the
interests Of the community than any other
men in it. Concerning them. it was vestcr-
day stated that they were $4,000 in ad-

ruinous to them. And it is well known.
and can be proved in any court of Justice,
that within two weeks after that Board was
organized, parties TO the stipulation entered

than agreed upon, and this TO the customers

within week, have heard different indi-
vidulis say, the secret o. all this hue and
cry is, that self-intcrcst, jealously and ha-

Messrs. PACE * Bacon. Not an inteli-
