Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1853-09-23

In a recent number Of the AIieghanian, We Oh
-orvuI 81 editorial in which cur humble self was
made the sui ect Of some very EattcIiHg remarks
at first intended 20 treat the autcF AND the az
ticIe with silent contempt. Eut upon further re-
1yctiou upon the subject We Thought it might
wound tie g9Lt-emaH's vanity to let such Her

With regard - his first remark would merely
state that at the time If creation, We were
consulted respecting the form Ec should assume,
the size should attain, and re therefore leave
him TO settle that with the author Of our existence

In the second place lie states Jilat re in the pre-
sruce Of several gCrtle.2.n delivered speech,

in part admit, to the former We cannot conceive
how the gentleman f2) could motam0rihcse the

At the time we handed him the eaper he inqui-
red what was wrong with the paper? 20 which we

riChtsoUsly made, was our reply. This vas ali

was matter Of perfect Indifference TO US, whether

Next we would inform the geut,eia I'D y that we

nation. True the gentleman (?) never did ask US
to subscribe for the AllegAuniau, but his Ageus
did, and he Forwarded Us prospectus to obtain
subscribers fer E-rr. We always understood that
it was an infallible rule among publishers that all
arrcaraces must be paid up, before paper can be
discontinued, and in obedience 10 this rule fas we
took the first number from the oihceA we had
right 10 stop our paper until 1t was paid for, and
we question the right Of any man to force news

But marx the consistency Of the gentleman l?) he
intimates that he has met the appreciation OF al

The publication Of such an article. But we always
doubted his ability adhere to that resolution, as
traducing the character OF others IS the soul OF
some peoples existence. In Jefferson several years
since, there was published manuscript nightly
