Arreal to tie Psspie, On the
Repeal Question.
Cwing 10 severe ind continued ,ftlic.
ticn in our family since the adjourn.
ment Of the Legislature. i. was beyoni
our power 10 give tho attention 20 this
question and the ReSisfer man, which
the subject a"d our position demanded,
but nope in due time TO place him and
this question in proper light before
the community.
The Register man, in his paper Of the
ls'h inN., chsrges US with dragging the
question ofrepes! before the people. and
making i. ",he bone Ofhostil iy between
men whose interests ore IDENTICAL" and
as.r,s ,hat itls question in which the
people o(lrsnton alone are interested,
and that the citizens Of tho county have
nothing whatever to do with it. Those
who d, no, sgree in opinion with the
Company are characterized as dema.
gognes and unblushing political seoun.

This kind Of craw6shing comes from
hin with bad grace, after having ap.
pealed week utter week through the col.
unns ofhis paper. not TO the judgment
and common sense oflhe people, but to
the lowest passions end prejudices. and
after having sxham,sd bis entire vocab.
ulary OF Billingssste and low black.
guardism such only as flows from men
wholly void Of all tho attributes which
constitute gentleman. in personal at.
tscks upon, anil in eniesvoring to 2ois.
on the public mind against us.anJ those
who agree with US or this question; and
ate. dosing the people # the county
week after week. With the Company's 5
memorable, statements, and proofs, with
his arguments and comments, before we
noticed the matter in any ',rn.
These circumstances ,ne would
have rendered i, incumben, oq US TO sol.
ourselves and our friends :.ght before
the people; but this is no. all. |, is we'll
known tha. the Register man published
too extra issues Of his paper for sratu;t.
oms circulation in the country, after the
regular numbers had been supplied to
his subscribers, in which no collected
and published all the Company's me.
morials. stateinents and evidences; one
some time before the adjournment oflhe
Legislature, and one on the 4th Of May,
and after he had "dropt The cur,ain.'
These two ex,ra issues Of the Register
contained all tho statements, proofs and
arguments, on the side Of the Company,
and we're spread broadcast over the
country by every possible means that
could be fcsorted to. This the Regis'er
man dare no, deny-neither caa he de.

Now it may be. and indeed we have
